One teenager’s important call
Dear Roy,
It’s 1.59am on Wednesday morning. One teenager should have been safely asleep in bed, but was woken up by her mum’s partner shouting.
She confided in officers that the man had violently pulled her mum out of bed in front of a young toddler and her worried mum had told her to call the police.
The teenager kept the other child safe in the house in Wisbech while she called us, and said her mum’s partner didn’t believe police would visit.
We soon proved him wrong though, as he was arrested less than 20 minutes later on suspicion of assault and enquiries continue.
Some calls about domestic abuse don’t come from those suffering the abuse itself. They can come from worried family members, friends or neighbours.
If you or someone you love is suffering from domestic abuse, we have dedicated officers to help and support you. You are not alone.
For more information and advice, visit our dedicated web pages.
Kind regards,
St Andrews Church have spend a tidy sum, having workmen refurbishing/repairing the wall along Church Street Whittlesey this week…..

I am very aware of the ‘wave’ of support for the Reform Party, and can fully understand the publics reasons why the Reform Party is becoming ‘popular’.
However as I’ve stated many times, I respect all main stream political groups, that doesn’t mean a ‘free ride’……
So yesterday I engaged briefly with Mr. Fisher and Mr. Maston on the Whittlesey Buttercross as I had done the previous week.
From what I can ascertain, The Reform Party are standing on a National Platform – with the promo of Nigel plastered everywhere.
Quick to critise and find fault, with no solutions or answers to local/district or county issues.
Neither candidate (as far as I am aware and stand to be corrected if not) has had any involvement with any local charities, volunteer groups or ever attended any council/planning meetings…..this I am somewhat sorry to say – and if some think I am being harsh – so be it – bordering on being —– ‘Clueless’
Most would have already used their postal vote – but I urge the discontented voter (all) please think before voting –
I am supporting our ‘Local’ – Well Imformed – Active – Community – Candidate

No particular views on the Mayorial Elections, I think as many they’re all as bad as one another……

| In honour of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the Prime Minister announced this week that pubs and bars in England and Wales will be able to stay open for an extra two hours until 1AM on 8 May, allowing more time to “raise a glass to all the men and women who served their country, both overseas and at home”.
But there are also plenty of other ways to get involved in the #VE80 celebrations – find an event taking place in your community, discover VE Day inspired baking recipes or download street party planning tips and tricks. You could also show us how you’re getting into the VE Day spirit by entering Tip Top Towns. Share pictures on social media demonstrating how your community, town, village or city is coming together to decorate, celebrate and spruce up communal spaces. |
Members of the public are invited to line the Mall to watch the VE Day 80 military procession taking place on Monday 5 May in London. Beginning at noon, more than 1,300 members of the Armed Forces, Uniformed Services and Uniformed Youth will march from Parliament Square to Buckingham Palace. A military fly past featuring the Red Arrows and 24 current and historic military aircraft will follow after the procession concludes. A remembrance service will take place at Westminster Abbey to mark VE Day on 8 May, followed by A Celebration to Remember concert that evening on Horse Guards Parade where stars of stage and screen will tell the story of the end of the war. The commemorations will be broadcast on BBC One. If you’re planning to attend, you can also read our guidance about where events are taking place and how to prepare. |
There has been 468 supporters registering on this petition as of this morning 25th
We need to keep the momentum going….We need at least 1,000+ supporters.
From Cllr Barry Wainwright..
I have created this petition at
https://www.petitions.net/oppose_bus_route_cuts_in_rural_whittlesey
as a first step to oppose these cuts
Rural Communities Need Sustainable Public Transport
The residents of the rural areas to the east of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, learned with dismay on Thursday 17th April that Stagecoach were ‘considering’ the amalgamation of routes 31 and 33, with the implied loss of a bus service for Eastrea, Coates and the rural communities between Whittlesey and March.
Since that time sources within Stagecoach are suggesting that the plans may be even more advanced than the Stagecoach press release indicated. Reports are emerging that the decision is not only already made, but has an implementation date of 31st August 2025.
This petition calls upon the Mayor of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to make strenuous efforts to resist this change and encourage Stagecoach to continue to provide a service for the 7,500 residents of that region who will have no other recourse, apart from private car, for their daily journeys.
Please sign the petition, the loss or amalgamation of routes 31 & 33 will have a serious effect on rural residents, who are already NOT well served by public transport…
Please be patient – the issue may have been caused by ‘Hackers’ for-ever trying their game at holding people to ransom – there are NO dangers to those visiting the site.
Things get a bit technical so hang in there – trying to sort out
