Have You Got A Bigger One? – Pot Hole That Is….

How big? Enormous Pothole part of ‘atrocious’ road surface in Great Shelford that prompts petition.

Hundreds of people signed a petition within days of it launching to call for the urgent resurfacing of a road that resembles one “you would see in a war zone”.
The petition says a stretch of the A1301 has “deteriorated significantly” with new potholes emerging, and patched potholes reopening that it “poses an issue to all users”.

The growing support reflects widespread frustration and anger by residents that reporting road defects through Cambridgeshire County Council’s highways portal is “failing to deliver timely repairs”.

RG Note….We are not alone…..Potholes…

Flood Warning: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene

A flood warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.

Flood warning in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

Flooding is expected for: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

High river levels are expected to cause flooding this evening.

Flooding is expected from the evening of 01 February 2026.

No further rainfall is forecast, but river levels remain high. During periods of high tide, the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst this Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Refer to local authority website for road closures.

This message will be updated by 11:00PM on 01 February 2026 or as the situation changes.

At Long Last – Excellent News From Environment Agency – Saxon Pit.

A new platform for engagement.

The Environment Agency has created a new Engagement HQ (EHQ) page to host information on operations within Saxon Pit in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire.
We will share ideas and raise questions with other regulating bodies such as Cambridgeshire County and Fenland County Councils to develop further understanding of issues and concerns from the residents.
We will work on frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) and answer them in a timely manner and add any relevant documents and photographs associated with these operations.

We are opening this page and it’s resources to regulators, stakeholders and the public. We hope that by working with you, and those you are representing, we can further enhance and develop the content.

We will be making this page available in January 2026.

There will be times when the page will be withdrawn for updates, but we will inform you all when these will take place. We are currently waiting for the permit for discharge consent. As soon as it is available, it will be placed on the right side of the page together with a public briefing note.

You will need to register and please read full article with lots of related information.
