Whittlesey Movie Evenings

FINAL SCREENING OF CURRENT SEASON!
Doors open 6.30 for 7pm start.
“Six Minutes to Midnight” – cert 12A
Stars Judi Dench, Nigel Lindsay, Eddie Izzard
Summer 1939. Influential families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town to learn the language and be ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist. A teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But the authorities believe he is the problem.
You are all warmly invited to come along to our warm and cosy building for a top-class movie screening plus refreshments served during an interval. No charges made for admission, however we do have operating expenses, not least for heating and lighting and the required video licence, so we request that you pay what you can afford please. This our final screening of our winter season, we hope to return in October. Thank you for your patronage.
I am contacting you to let you know that the Environment Agency are automating the Flood Alerts and Flood Warnings from now until 16th April. This is in order to protect the Flood Warning Service during periods of Industrial Action, ensuring that we can continue to warn and inform partners and communities. We will use existing flood warning and forecasting systems to automatically send standardised flood warning message content for all existing coastal and fluvial food warnings when required during this time.
The Flood Warning at North Bank Road is a little more complex. Automation will activate when only one of the usual 2 triggers is met, meaning that the Warning will automatically be sent even if there is no need to close the road. As a result, the duty officers have an action to liaise closely with the Highways duty officer and inform them if flooding is actually expected or not. This way, Highways can close the road only when needed to avoid unnecessary disruption.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and I will be happy to assist.
The force’s new #NotFor999 campaign aims to educate the public about 999 misuse. By raising awareness of our contact methods and when to use each one, we hope that misuse of the emergency line will reduce, meaning operators will be free to help people with genuine emergency calls.
When to use 999:
999 should always be used in an emergency.
A situation is classed as an emergency if it meets any of these criteria:
An offence is in progress, or has just happened
The situation requires immediate police presence
Someone is hurt / in serious danger / harm
The offender / offenders are still at the scene
The situation is likely to escalate and could cause a disruption to the public
Property is likely to get damaged
When to use 101 or our online services:
If a situation requires police attention, but it is not urgent, you should avoid calling 999, and we advise that you call 101 if you do not have access to online services.
It should be used to:
Report minor and non-urgent crimes that are not currently in progress (where immediate or high-priority response is not required), or to offer evidence in an investigation.
When you call 101, we will ask for some initial information from you so your call can be triaged, and passed on to the right person. At busy times, you will have to wait in line for an operator.
If you do have access to online services, you can speak to a specialist operator on live web chat, or you can fill in one of our online report forms. (Online reports can be used to report crime, RTCs, lost / stolen property, missing people, antisocial behaviour, domestic abuse and more).
This way of contacting us is fast and efficient, and can be quicker than waiting on the phone for a 101 operator. If you use online services and we need to contact you to find out more information, a call operator will get in touch with you to do so.
Your report will be assessed and dealt with in the exact same way as a call to 101 – the only difference is the technology used to inform us about the issue / incident.
If you do contact us using our online reports, we ask that you do not get in touch to chase for an update, unless you are providing us with further information about the case.
Ask The Police
Ask The Police is the official police resource for England and Wales. The site can be accessed through our website, and provides Q&As to a wide variety of the general public’s most frequently asked policing questions. If you are ever unsure about whether to contact us or not, you can always consult this website beforehand.
If you would like further information about contacting us, you can learn more in our Contacting the Constabulary Guide.
Kind regards,

From the near beginning of the Covid pandemic, I was invited to take part in the Office of National Statistics Covid Survey, this required to have a swab test done every month and a questionaire which took about 10 minutes. After a year we were invited to give a blood sample as well. The information from some half a million taking part gave the ONS and Government some statistical data of the spread and intensity of the virus.
The survey has now come to an end.
