Coronavirus (COVID-19) roundup        

11 November 2020
Hello – welcome to today’s edition of the coronavirus (COVID-19) roundup, a summary of our latest analysis related to the pandemic.

Today, we have published analysis of the social impacts of COVID-19 on disabled people in Great Britain. The main points include:

  • Half of disabled people who received medical care before COVID-19 began said their treatment had been affected; 29% said they were currently receiving treatment for only some of their conditions and 22% said that their treatment had been cancelled or not started
  • This compares with 16% of non-disabled people who received treatment for only some of their conditions and 11% whose treatment had been cancelled or not started
  • Almost half (45%) of those disabled people who had reported receiving a reduced level of treatment or had their treatment cancelled said they felt their health had worsened

Lest We Forget – Remember Today 11:00 11-11

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

We will be standing outside our home to commemorate 2 minutes silence at 11:00am this morning –
I would encourage all to do the same – please do NOT congregate at the War Memorial.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Big Ben chimes and a cannon fires a single shot.

Across the country, people fall silent for two minutes of remembrance. It symbolises the moment 102 years ago when the guns stopped at the end of World War I

Week-Long Operation To Highlight Knife Crime

Posted on November 10, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin
Police in Cambridgeshire will be taking part in a national operation to tackle knife crime this week.
The week-long operation aims to reduce knife related crime and tackle violence across the county.

In Cambridgeshire, offences involving knives or sharp instruments rose 58 per cent from 908 incidents in 2018 to 1,436 incidents in 2019. Between January and October this year there have been 1,178 offences.

On average, officers are arresting three people a week in Cambridgeshire for knife related offences (168 in 2018, 199 in 2019 and 168 between Jan-Oct 2020).
During the crackdown the force will be conducting knife sweeps, talking to retailers about selling to young people and educating school children through virtual presentations about the dangers of carrying knives.
There will also be a live question and answer session on the force Facebook page on Thursday at 7pm (12 November) where members of the public can find out more about knife crime.

Superintendent Robin Sissons said: “While offences involving knives have risen, Cambridgeshire’s figures are still below the national average and in line with a rise in offences across the country.

“It’s simple; knives ruin lives.

“People carrying knives, particularly young people, do so without understanding the real consequences of using them, the devastation it can cause to those who are seriously injured or fatally wounded, nor the impact on the families who have lost loved ones.
“We’d like to urge the family and friends of people who carry knives to encourage them to stop. That one conversation could be life changing and that one small action could be enough to save a life.”

It is illegal to:

  • Sell a knife of any kind to anyone under 18 years old
  • Carry a knife in a public place without good reason – unless it’s a knife with a folding blade three inches long or less eg a Swiss Army knife
  • Carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife
  • Use any knife in a threatening way

The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife is four years in prison and a fine of £5,000.

If you know someone who carries a knife, you can report it to us or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or via their website.

Police Fraud Alert – Cadbury’s Hamper Scam on Facebook

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

For those of you that use Facebook, beware of a post which claims that Cadbury is giving away a free hamper to celebrate its 126th birthday, but media reporting states it is fake and could actually steal your private information including bank account details.

In other words it is a phishing communication, designed to offer something for nothing, and enticing you to click on a link which will lead you to a webpage that will look genuine, but is controlled by the criminal. The criminal loves it when you click and fill out the form, especially if they identify that you use the same password for more than one online account.
The internet reporting is as recent as a few hours ago, with some reporting dating back to May of this year. In summary, Cadburys are not offering a free hamper, and remember, don’t click on links within email, text, Messenger, WhatsApp or any similar instant message services unless you are confident the sender is genuine and this is not always easy.
Any questions or concerns, please let me know

KD X Update November 2020

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin


A message from local member, Cllr David Connor:
Following on from Steve’s last update, the temporary access road on site, which will allow site traffic to access key locations to the west of the railway, is now complete which you can see in the picture on the right.

The excavation works to where the underpass will be built have been completed and preparation work for the construction of the railway bridge is underway – the picture on the left shows where the southern side of the bridge will be built.

Jones Bros are also importing material into section three of the scheme, which is north of the railway, this will be completed over the next two weeks and then efforts will be concentrated on constructing the embankment.

I’d like to say thank you to everyone for your comments and likes on these posts and after reading the last comment from Lorraine, I’m pleased to say our contractor, Jones Bros, has pulled together a pretty impressive time-lapse video of the work so far – you can watch it here: http://orlo.uk/jiauG

Finally, now we have entered a second national lockdown, I would like to reassure all residents that Jones Bros is fully complying with all UK Government guidance to ensure the safety of its workforce as well as the general public and work will continue.
Keep safe and well everyone.
