Figures from Action Fraud show that criminals conned 17,407 shoppers out of almost £13.5 million over the Christmas period last year, an increase of over 20% when compared to the same period in 2018. Action Fraud is warning the public to take extra care when shopping online, ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as shoppers search for bargains and gifts for loved ones in the run up to Christmas.

I am very humbled by the number of people who ‘pass by’ my web blog.
My statistics have for some time measured one visit per day, so I know many re-visit during the day, so these are counted as only one – visit. (IP address is counted as 1)
Somewhat surprised that 13 individuals from Argentina and 8 from Japan are looking…..!
Below are the stats for Tuesday 24th November 2020 over a 24 hour period.
The government has announced details of the new three-tier system that will come into effect in when the four-week national lockdown across England ends on 02 December
Our area will be designated a Tier 2 (High Alert) COVID level.
Under the new system, although hospitality venues will be allowed to stay open until 11pm – with last orders at 10pm – only those that serve substantial meals can operate. It means pubs and bars that do not will have to close.
As before, social mixing outside of households or support bubbles will not be allowed indoors. The rule of six will apply outdoors.
Spectators will be allowed to watch sport in tier 2, with a maximum crowd capacity outdoors of 50% of the capacity of the stadium or 2,000 people, whichever is smaller. Indoors, the maximum capacity is 1,000.
Indoor entertainment venues, such as cinemas, casinos and bowling alleys, must also close.
I am attending Citizens Advice Rural Cambs – AGM.

Some of the highlights during a very difficult year.
CARC (excluding East Cambs).
10,000 individuals clients supported during the past year.
19,000 operational contacts during the year.

The very hard work put in by Councillors at WTC, The Must Farm Working Group, The Growing Fenland Whittlesey Working Group and FDC Officers.
The ‘Team’ was very much lead by Cllr Dee Laws – who has ‘plugged away’ to get Whittlesey this fantanstic facility.
The Whittlesey Heritage Visitor Centre and Whittlesey Heritage Walk funding was approved by The Combined Authority Board Meeting yesterday.
The Whittlesey Heritage Visitor Centre will be located near the Forterra Offices off the A605/Peterborough Road.
