Police & Crime Commissioner….
A very nice Festive Message from Darryl Preston, Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough to wish us all a Happy Christmas one minute and 5 minutes later send us what he considers an increase in the Police precept for next year.
Every year I have supported the PCC and their increases in precept – It is difficult to justify a 5.8% increase – I am thinking about where or not to support…

Speed Can YOU Tell Someones Speed?
I am contacting you with regards to speed patrols carried out in the area of STONALD RD & DRYBREAD RD by local officers recently. These were conducted in response to issues raised by local councillors, residents and reviewing of the speed data on the signs in these locations.
Officers conducted 2 patrols in these locations and gave WOA to a total of 11 vehicles. The highest recorded speed on STONALD was 35 in a 30mph and on DRYBREAD, 28 in a 20mph. At officer discretion no tickets were issues but education given around speed awareness.
Local residents were also spoken to and education given around vehicles they perceived to be speeding which were actually travelling within the specified limit.
I have noted that the speed signs are clear and frequent on DRYBREAD RD and there are traffic calming measures in place which appear to be fairly effective along with the natural calming measures created by parking at school pick up and drop off times. STONALD RD however is a long straight stretch of road with less parked vehicles to discourage speeding. I feel this would benefit from some traffic calming measures being placed and residents have expressed to officers conducting patrols that they would feel safer if this were the case.

CCTV appeal following POSH v CUFC disorder
Our detectives investigating disorder surrounding a football match between Peterborough and Cambridge United in October have released CCTV images of people they want to identify.
The investigation was launched after the match, which took place on 29 October, following criminal damage, disorder and violence.
The majority of supporters behaved responsibly at the match, however, there were a small number of fans who chose to behave in a wholly unacceptable way, and this behaviour has been condemned by both clubs.
As part of our post-match investigation, so far we have made 16 arrests and interviewed an additional nine people, which is increasing week-on-week. We have also secured a banning order against one fan who will now not be able to attend any football match for the next three years.
Some people have done the right thing and come forward to us, knowing their behaviour was unacceptable that day, while others have been identified by our officers and the clubs.
Anyone who recognises any of the men in these images should contact us and quote Operation Rookery. This can be done online using our web chat service, by calling 101 or contacting Crimestoppers, anonymously, by calling 0800 555 111 or reporting online
