Call when it counts this Christmas
| Last December, our Demand Hub received 10% more 999 calls than our monthly average for the rest of the year.
This means that instead of winding down for Christmas like a lot of people, we expect that our call handlers will be getting even busier as we get closer to the 25th, as calls about antisocial behaviour, theft and drink driving often increase during December. For anything that’s not urgent, call handlers will be able to help you on 101, or on live web chat (where our average response time in November was just 35 seconds). Online reports are also available to fill in from our website 24/7. Every online report is assessed within a matter of hours, and if the IMU decide that there is sufficient evidence / witnesses, an investigation will be launched and police will contact you. Whilst we want to emphasise that we are always here to help, a large percentage of our 999 calls could have been dealt with using our online services or live web chat, which would help to reduce the constant pressure on our phone lines. If you want to learn more about how to contact us, you can visit the dedicated contact us page on the force’s website. |

Domestic Abuse/Violence – You Have The Right To Know
Clare Wood was murdered in her own home by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton 13 years ago. She didn’t know he had a history of violence against women. She was only 36.
Her father believed she may have still been alive if she knew about her partner’s violent past.
He campaigned for the introduction of Clare’s Law which started in 2014 and is used by thousands of women and men every year.
Remember – if you think you might be a risk from a new partner or concerned a family member or friend might be a from a new partner, you can ask us to check their record.
You have a right to ask. You have a right to know.

Works & Traffic Lights @ KD X
Kings Dyke –
Temporary Traffic Management at Night week from Monday 12/12/2022
A message from the King’s Dyke project team:
Once a new road is built, there is often the need for what we call ‘snagging’ work. As a result of this, during our checks, we have noticed extra drainage is required on the bridge. While this work is carried out, there will be temporary two-way traffic lights installed along Ralph Butcher Causeway starting on Monday (12 Dec). Jones Bros will be working overnight from 8pm until 6am for four nights.
We are carrying out this work behind the temporary barriers and overnight to try and minimise disruption in December and the lead up to Christmas.
There will be a need for further remedial work in the New Year, but we will know more after Christmas and once this work is completed.
We will carry out the work as quickly as possible – thank you for your patience.

HSF – At Last Fenland Has Had Its Share….
Having been a ‘trusted’ partner in the Household Support Fund since its inception, on now seeing some of the results of how and where the support has gone – Fenland appear to have had its share, it would have been good to perhaps see where in Fenland has had the most support – The funding is still there and our main channel is Age UK and Age Concern, individual trusted partners/groups can still apply.

COMBINED AUTHORITY COMMITTEE KEEPS OPTIONS OPEN FOR WISBECH RAIL
| Getting Wisbech better-connected came closer today when the Combined Authority’s transport and infrastructure committee decided to move forward with an Options Assessment Report analysing the costs and benefits of different types of connection.
Then again – I/we could look back a few years to the ‘Great’ Wisbech 2020 Vision which sort of kicked off in 2012. Lots and lots of £££££ spent with very little tangible results. Blurred vision over bold 2020 plan for Wisbech’s future. To some observers it looks very much like throwing even more money at this very ambitious plan/project – the costings now being stratospheric by anyones standards. |
