Have Your Say – New Reservoir Near Chatteris
Anglian Water and Cambridge Water announced in October 2022 that
they are proposing to build a large new reservoir (a little smaller than
Grafham Water) in an area north of Chatteris and east of the A141.
• The reservoir is needed to enable sufficient water supplies for future
growth in the region in the face of a changing climate and to avoid
damage to the natural environment.
• A non-statutory public consultation is currently underway to seek views on
the proposed reservoir which closes on 21st December 2022. A link to the
consultation can be found here: https://www.fensreservoir.co.uk/

Other Countries Can Do It – Why Can’t We… Recycle
Our UK (Enland & Wales) government always appear to be so-so slow in introducing better recycling facilities, I have been campaigning for over 20 years about cans, bottles plastics and polystyrene – bent MP Barclays ears on a number of occasions (mainly deaf ears that is) – the latest I’ve found in most shopping centres in Malaysia as shown in this photo.
Now to be fair, I didn’t see a line of people waiting to deposit their recycles for goodies, but it is a good start, most of Europe is ahead of us.
Yes – I appreciate there are more inportant happening in the world – but this is such a small project which could make a big difference. Vouchers which can be spent on ‘food’

Another BIG Thank You – Volunteers @ Extravaganza 2022
Volunteers again – I am very proud to be part of them – another very successful afternoon/evening of family entertainment for a very modest nominal charge.
Lots of enjoyment for children and families again this year – 10+ months to organise the event. Sponsors and Whittlesey Town Council all helped.

Fenland Police – Christmas Toy Appeal
As this year’s Christmas toy appeal comes to a close, I would like to pass on my heartfelt thanks to the wonderfully generous Fenland community for your kind donations.
I would estimate we have received over 2000 gifts this year!
I appreciate just how financially difficult it is at the moment, so to receive the number of gifts we have is overwhelming.
All these gifts will give hundreds of disadvantaged children a present this year that they may not have ordinarily received.
From scooters to games consoles, and board games to clothing, I know these gifts will put a smile on a young person’s face this Christmas.
The attached pictures are just a small sample of what we have received.
Special thanks go to Kelly Riddell the March Tesco community champion for choosing this appeal as her choice of campaign this Christmas, and to Sally and Vikki from Childrens social care for their organisation and distribution of the presents.
Thank you once again and I wish you all a healthy and safe Christmas.

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. |
