Some can not wait – It has been a long time – No Hairdresser – Nail Bars – Pubs -Restaurants – with some that could not wait….well if you knew where to go…..?
I have just received a note from the police about crimes in the last couple of weeks. Following on from a distraction burglary in Whittlesey there have been two more in the area since. Please keep a look out for suspicious behaviour. These criminals tend to prey on the elderly or vulnerable most so keep an extra eye on any residents that fit into this group.
There have also been vehicle crimes in the Burnt House Road and Drybread Road areas.
Earlier in the year the allotment owners had items taken from sheds. Peterborough are currently seeing issues on allotments, so if you have an allotment or know someone who has it would be a good time to remind allotment owners to ensure they remember to make sure all property is clearly marked, that where possible large items are chained within sheds and that sheds are secure, and if possible alarmed.
This is not a crime wave but it is a warning that times are difficult and people are a little more vulnerable at the moment. Crime can be prevented very effectively by taking preventative actions and making sure that residents report suspicious behaviour.

Today saw many more people in the centre of Whittlesey, everyone taking good care to que in an orderly way…for the time being….
From 15th June members of the public must wear a face covering at all times on public transport or when attending a hospital as a visitor or outpatient. The public is further advised “If you can, you should also wear a face covering in other enclosed public spaces where social distancing isn’t possible and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet. This is most relevant for short periods indoors in crowded areas.”
Given this, we will require all members of the public to wear a face covering whilst in our buildings with effect from Weds 17th June until further notice.
The aim of this is to minimise the dispersal of respiratory secretions, reduce both direct transmission risk and environmental contamination.
See link below for all latest proceedures at NQS

Key Points
1. Patients will be expected to provide their own face covering.
2. In emergencies, our sites can provide a Type 2 facemask but this must be in emergency situations only.
3. In line with national guidance the following exceptions can be applied
a. Children under the age of 3
b. Patients unable to put on or wear a face covering because of any physical or mental illness or impairment, or disability
c. Patients with breathing difficulties and respiratory problems that may be exacerbated by wearing a face covering
d. Anyone with anatomical difficulties that would make wearing a face covering impossible or painful e.g. facial injuries
e. Anyone who experiences severe discomfort or distress while wearing a face covering e.g. those with severe claustrophobia
f. A face mask should not be worn by patients if there is potential for their clinical care to be compromised (for example, when receiving oxygen therapy via a mask)
