The Bower Footbridge To Be Replaced
At WTC’s meeting on Thursday evening, County Councillor Boden informed that Cambridgeshire County Council (Highways) are to replace/rebuild the ‘Bower Footbridge’
sometime 2025/26, the work is expected to take 6 weeks.
We have been asked ‘what would be the best time to close the bridge’ – if you have any views to share, contact me and I’ll forward.
The Bridge was upgraded around 10 years ago, in order that Prams/Wheelchairs/Mobility Scooters could use the bridge, it previously had 2 steps at either end.
It has been subject to vandalism at times.

Emergency services were called at about 8.50pm on Wednesday (20 November) with reports of a collision involving a grey Nissan Pulsar and a grey Toyota Prius.
A passenger in the Nissan, Brian Spinks, 68, of Dines Close, Wilstead, Bedford, was taken to Peterborough City Hospital where he died of his injuries.
The driver, Sandra Spinks, 65 and of the same address, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and passed away yesterday (21 November).

Legitimate callers won’t mind if you ask them to come back later while you consider your options · Speak with family and friends to get their opinion on whether you need work doing on your home For more advice on all the frauds we’ve focused on this week and more, visit our website and stay safe from the scammers! |

Drink Driving: We Need Your Help
| Dear Roy,
This is a reminder to venues across Cambridgeshire that a designated driver scheme organised to support the force’s crackdown on drink and drug drivers this Christmas will return in December. ‘I am DES’ is a national initiative where licenced premises sign up to offer an incentive to encourage customers to have a ‘designated driver’ within their party. The campaign ran for the first time since Covid in December 2023 across Cambridgeshire, with more than 60 businesses sign up in support We also saw a reduction in the number of people killed and seriously injured through road traffic collisions for that month compared with the previous year, with more than a 20 per cent reduction. If interested in taking part, your business and venue location will be included in a press release highlighting this year’s police drink and drug drive campaign, and mentioning the I’m DES initiative, where drivers within a group can benefit from a discount on soft drinks only. The terms and conditions will be within your control – you decide which soft drinks to provide an incentive on, such as draught only. Free soft drinks have been offered in the past but the economy is in a very different place than it was years ago, and therefore any kind of incentive through a discount will still be very welcome and allow you to take part. Members of the public taking part are asked to say to venue staff “I am Des” or words to that effect and show their car keys. It’s up to yourselves if you wish to add anything additional to that. I know some of you have used wristbands or a stamp system to keep track of designated drivers before. If you are interested or would like to know more, please email nick.southern@cambs.police.uk stating that you are interested or with any questions. Please do not reply directly to this eCops message. Please also spread the word and forward to anyone you think would be interested in supporting this year’s designated driver campaign. Kind regards, |

Fraud Warning Latest
It’s the penultimate day of our fraud awareness campaign and today we’re delving into…
Courier fraud
In these cases, fraudsters often target elderly and vulnerable people and call them over the phone purporting to be from the police or the bank. Once these con artists have engaged a victim, they may make up a story claiming to need help with an investigation into a money scam at the victim’s bank or perhaps spin a line that their account has been hacked and they need further details to protect their assets. They may ask the victim to disclose their card details and pin number or withdraw money from their account ready for them to collect. Recent reports of courier scams in our area show the fraudsters are getting even more sophisticated and providing convincing fake police identity badges at the door.
Prevention:
- Remember, we – the police – will never call you up to request or collect bank details, cards or cash
- If you receive a call of this nature, pause and think. End the call and process the information. Call us on 101 – preferably from a different device to the one the call came in on – and we will be able to verify if the person you spoke to was a genuine officer
- Call your bank immediately if you think you have been scammed so they can freeze your account
