| 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. PCSO J.Hall 7070 |
| Earlier this morning neighbourhood officers in Chatteris came across a horse who had decided he fancied a bit of a change of scenery. Sadly the middle of West Street wasn’t a suitable place for him. Officers got him to safety and managed to track down his owner who along with the officers managed to get him back home. Officers made sure the horse had a suitable home, was well looked after, and even helped give him some breakfast. Let’s hope he learnt his lesson that the grass isn’t always greener! #fenlandNPT #PC0233 #PC0312 #whythelongface? |
A very good asset to our town/area will be announced on Monday…
As many know I was an Electronics & Communications Engineer for 27 years in the British Merchant Navy…. There were many local men here in Whittlesey who served in Two World Wars and other conflicts…. I was involved in (No World Wars) several conflicts around the world, mainly in a humanatarian role, although I was involved in taking Jet Fuel for the Kosovo conflict.
BBC One News 6 & 10pm – Week beginning Monday 31st August
Coverage of WWII & the men & women involved Merchant Navy in World War II

As a supplement to BBC1’s two main news reports at 18:00hrs & 22:00hrs, next week, there will be coverage of WWII and the men & women involved, including the Merchant Navy.
They plan to transmit a piece about the Merchant Navy in the main news at 6.00pm and 10.00pm on Tuesday 1st September.
This will focus on Milag Nord (the MN camp near Bremen), where newscaster Hugh Edwards’s father was held and hopefully will include an interview with our National Secretary, David Parsons, covering the MN’s contribution to WWII in more general terms.

How temporary I don’t know but here they are…. 3 I found this morning…
So consternation this morning Buzz-Buzz-Buzz – reports of Fly-Tipping on the corner of Braemar Gardens/Ramsey Road – Social Media Hot (so I understand) On my way to a funeral – took picture…. After funeral called in at WTC Office and Clerk already aware and informs the Street Scene Officer……
An hour later on my way back – All gone – spoke with a neighbour who informs that The Gent responsible had new furniture delivered and could not get the old stuff taken away immediately – so dumped on the little green.
1/ Why not pile it up a bit more tidier rather than lumped in the middle of the green.
2/ Why not inform the Town Council – Clerk, that arrangements have been made to take away…..
This would have saved a lot of phone calls and reports to FDC Fly-Tipping Team….
Simple one phone call would have solved all the time wasted…
