Shocked & Some Good News

Whilst we are living in extraordinary times since March this year and many if not most are still very concerned on what the future holds.

The campaign for our environment needs to carry on, if not the world with have even more issues and problems.
I have been promoting (and I am guilty) of better education and taxes on both ‘plastic and waste’ and have been lobbying for many years.

I did find time last night to watch ‘The War on Plastic’ – BBC 9pm (Tuesday) – was truely shocking in what is happening here in our country – Can view on catch-up

On a more positive note – this and previous governments are somewhat ‘slow’ in making decisions – that said the ‘Tax’ on Plastic Bags is to double to 10p – remember there is a VAT element to this tax (currently 0.83p on the 5p bag) and therefor the government makes money as well – take note MP Steve Barclay who was unaware of this when I questioned him.

My thanks to RW who has sent the following….

This great addition to the community has been recently broadcasting on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings but today they will be broadcasting from 9am-10pm. It will be a mixture of a full range of music throughout the day with the youngest presenter being aged 7 and the oldest being 57.

So its plenty to listen to and get involved with. If you have a company who wants to support this great venture then get in touch.

My friends Suntan & Timmy (The tortoises) are sort of winding down a bit, however Timmy is still somewhat amorous….however whilst wandering around he found ‘The Doorstop’ which is a ‘stone tortoise’ it took him a little while to decide whether it was worth a try….but he is clever…..coming later – What Timmy did to Suntan this afternoon..
naughty boy….
Of course you could try a guess which is ‘Timmy’ and which is ‘The Stone’

Neighbourhood Police Team – Drug Dealing

Drug dealing.
Your Neighbourhood Team have had recent success in our fight against drug production and drug dealing. Below is some relative information regarding this crime.

Drugs and drug related crime can have a negative impact on our communities and its use can harm the health and safety of our residents.  

Our officers are committed to tackling drug related issues within Cambridgeshire and we welcome any information you may have about drug use or dealing. 
To help keep our communities safe, we encourage you to look out for common signs of drug dealing and let us know if you see anything suspicious. 
Another way professional criminals deal drugs in particular neighbourhoods, known as ‘cuckooing’. Cuckooing involves offenders targeting the homes of vulnerable people and using it to deal drugs.

Those who usually become vulnerable to cuckooing are lonely, isolated and drug users themselves. In fact, dealers usually offer them free drugs as a way of getting into the victims home. The property is then used to deal and manufacture drugs for a short period of time before the dealer moves onto somewhere new. 
If you think this may be happening where you live, please get in touch so that we can prevent vulnerable people falling victim to this crime.
