Some brainless person(s) dumped a fridge/freezer at the Station Road Play Area.
Humping this would have taken some effort by more than one person I would have throught – I just can not understand – they could have left it outside of the Recycling Centre if that desperate – I am not condoning Fly-Tipping outside of the RC – but better that leaving at a kids play area.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Straw Bear Festival – welcome back.
We are ‘told’ frequently that the road sweeper and street sweeper are in Whittlesey regularly – I often challenge this, because unless they are doing it in the middle of the night – they seem pretty inconspicuous to me and most people.
Here we have ‘Buster’ driving ‘itself’ around (not sure if it is a he or she) happily going about its business of cleaning up all by itself – stops whenever something in its way and will eventually go around the obstacle.
Naturally only good on certain surfaces – but I understand – it doesn’t waste time talking to people, taking any breaks and only needs a charge up at the end of the day….
Can we have one please….
I have asked this ‘question’ on many occasions – how much notice do ‘these’ people take of the survey results – in many cases it is seen as a ‘box ticking’ exercise to appease authorities and government.
Still this one is about the ‘Hot subject’ of Buses…..
5 to 8 minutes depending on what detail you want to give.

It would appear the Conservative group latest enrolment for May elections –
Ms Elizabth Sennitt- Clough has I am sent….
‘flashed up’ on social media about Whittlesey being short changed by the Combined Authority – Good for her…
Basically the ‘Mayor’ of the Combined Authority want to impose a ‘local tax’ to fund better transport/buses – but not here in Whittlesey – as you know we lost some Stagecoach services which area’s in the South & East Cambs all got big subsidies to keep and improve in cases services.
The consultation is a bit arduous – but if you do not fill it in WE will all end up Paying this ‘Stealth Tax’
Question 9 specifically asks if you support a Mayoral precept to pay for buses – I would urge you to respond with “no”
Question 10 asks more generally if you would support a Mayoral precept – I would urge you to respond with “no”

| Can you help? We need you to help us tackle child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Cambridgeshire by raising suspicions or concerns, no matter how small.
There were 18 reports of concerns around CSE sent in to us last month. Remember, you don’t have to be sure but one call could change a life. What is CSE?Child sexual exploitation involves situations, contexts or relationships in which a person under 18 is given something, for example food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts or money in return for performing sexual activities or having sexual activities performed on them. It can also involve violence, coercion and intimidation, with threats of physical harm or humiliation. In all cases of CSE, the person exploiting the child or young person is able to create the impression of authority over them in some form. This could be because of their age, gender, intellect, physical strength or economic situation. Sexual exploitation of children can start through the use of technology, without them immediately realising. For example, they might be persuaded to post images on the internet or via mobile phone without immediate payment or personal gain. What to look out forSigns of a child or young person being in an exploitative relationship can vary. Some examples include: · going missing from home or care · physical injuries · misuse of drugs or alcohol · involvement in offending · repeat sexually-transmitted infections, pregnancies or terminations · absenteeism from school · deterioration in physical appearance · evidence of online sexual bullying · evidence of vulnerability on social networking sites · emotional distance from family members · receiving gifts from unknown sources · recruiting others into exploitative situations · poor mental health · self-harming · thinking about or attempting suicide Find out more, including examples of what to look out for and how to report any concerns, via our dedicated CSE web page. |
Thank you to those of you who called in to report a vehicle for possibly being linked to drink driving in
St Neots.
Even more shockingly, when that car stopped, a child was seen getting out together with the driver.
We stopped that very same car on Sunday and the driver, a woman in her 50s from St Neots, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and child cruelty/neglect.
She provided a roadside breath test reading of 151 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
In an evidential breath test taken at the station, she gave a reading of 130 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml breath.
Investigations continue and our Child Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit (CAISU) team in the south are working to safeguard the child involved.
Do you have concerns about a child? You don’t have to be sure, but one call or report could change or even save a life.
For more information and advice including how to report concerns about a child, visit the force’s dedicated child protection web pages.
You can report suspected drink drivers any time of day or night by calling our dedicated, confidential hotline on 0800 032 0845.
