4 New Planters at the entrance of The Manor Field, planted and maintained by ‘Whittlesey In Bloom’, they have also just installed this year’s ‘Railing Boxes’ at Grosvenor Road Bus Station and on Market Street.
I have been informed by the police that there have been doorstep callers posing as police officers in the March area. Genuine police will normally be in uniform with their shoulder number clearly displayed. All officers carry a warrant card that you can ask to see.
If you are still concerned that they may not be genuine please ring 101 if they have gone away to report your concerns or if you feel threatened and they are still there close the door and ring 999.
At the moment there have been only a very small number of reports in the March area so this is a message for guidance on what to do and to raise awareness in case they move to a different part of Fenland.

There have been a few business burglaries in Whittlesey lately. Please can you keep a look out for suspicious activities and if you have concerns please use 101, or online information reporting https://www.cambs.police.uk/report/Report or the new webchat on the Cambs Police site ( which I have found to be very quick and effective).
