More than 150 under-18s in the county have been treated for addiction problems – including use of cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy, as well as solvents, alcohol and nicotine, the figures reveal.
The figures, obtained by the BBC Shared Data Unit, show there were 155 under-18s in treatment in both 2024-25 and 2023-24. And of those 155 in treatment, some 70 were aged 15 or under and five were aged 14 or under.
There were more than 16,000 under-18s in drug and alcohol treatment in England last year – up 13 per cent from 2023-24, according to Shared Data Unit analysis of National Drug Monitoring System statistics.

I having been contacted by residents over the weekend, in turn forwarded their concerns and photographs to both of our County Councillors (Cllr Boden and Cllr Fisher) as Hioghways is a County Council remit.
Both came back very quickly on Sunday morning that they too had escalated to the Highways Officers at Cambs CC.
(Cllr Boden) I was on Friday promised an update from CCC Highways centrally about the state of the roads in Whittlesey, as well as several other important outstanding Highways issues in the Town.
I’ll share that report on social media and at the Town Council meeting on Thursday.I’ve been out this morning since first light doing a pothole by pothole survey on the A605 all the way to the Peterborough City boundary – I’ll report all of the findings to CCC later this morning.
I’m also aware of some really bad potholes on other roads in Whittlesey and will take these up directly with Amanda Hill.
(Cllr Fisher) Thank you for your message. If accurate, this information is indeed concerning.
Following the heavy rainfall on Thursday evening, several previously minor potholes along the A605 have worsened significantly. After receiving further correspondence from residents on Friday, I had an in depth discussion with Amanda Hill. During that conversation, it became clear that multiple potholes between Eastrea and Stanground were scheduled for repair under a five day action plan initiated the previous week. Unfortunately, those works were not completed as expected.
As a result, Amanda confirmed she would immediately follow up with M Group contractors. Additionally, an emergency inspection of the affected areas is scheduled for Monday morning.
I appreciate that this may not be the response everyone was hoping for, but I wanted to ensure you were fully informed of the current situation and next steps.

Charlie (Chittenden) sadly will be leaving her role as Social Prescriber at Jenner Healthcare to take on a new role within the probation service.
Her final day is Friday 6th February.
As you all know Charlie has always been a key advocate for all things health and community related in Whittlesey and gone above and beyond in everything she has done, this is evident with the prestigious award she won in 2023 Social Prescribing Link worker of the Year.
It has been a privilege to work with Charlie on so many projects.
I’m sure you will join me in congratulating her in her new role what a loss for Whittlesey.
