Today a number of Councillors met to discuse and review next years submission to
Cambs CC for Local Highways Improvements (LHI’s).

A Town Council like ours can submit up to 2 such applications to a value of £15,000 each, the contribition we have to make is 10% of the application.
LHI’s can be ‘Yellow Lines’ – Paths – Road Safety Improvements and Speed Limits to name a few.
Just because an application is made, doesn’t mean it will either be accepted or meet the CCC criteria.
Most LHI’s are at the suggestion of the public/electorate.

Further to my articles on Peterborough City Hospital, here is the link to read The Trust’s quarterly magazine – The Pulse.

Find out about a fantastic few months for our Maternity Services, they have been awarded an accreditation by UNICEF UK and also been nominated for a patient safety award. 

There is also an article about the amazing Phlebotomy team at Stamford & Rutland Hospital, and a closer look at all our winners from our Annual Outstanding Achievement Awards.

Please be alert to fake emails purporting to be from Asda. These emails state that the recipient can win a £100 promotional reward gift card by completing a marketing survey. To access the survey, the recipient must click on a shortcut within the email that leads to a website controlled by the cyber criminal, the webpage may look genuine but is designed to deceive the recipient into revealing personal information especially email/username/password.

This currently appears to be a national issue, and at this time, I have not heard of anyone within Cambridgeshire receiving such an email.

Remember, although these emails are specific to Asda criminals could easily change their template to represent any UK based retailer.

If in doubt, don’t click and go to the official and genuine website of the alleged sender.

Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk
