I know that I am forever harping on about scams – it is another subject that ‘we’ all think will not bother us and go away – not the case – there is always something new to learn or to be made aware of.
There have been (mainly elderly) victims of Corona Virus Scams (Door-Step mainly) here locally.
You can find out more from Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Against Scams Partnership.

Good afternoon!
I hope you’re well.
In light of the recent information surrounding free school meals during half term,
I have been asked to contact our community partners to see if you are offering assistance
to those families eligible for free school meals during the half term period.
If this does not apply to you, please disregard this email.
If you are, can you please send me the information/what is on offer,
as we are looking to put information together regarding the local offer
for these families.
We will advise residents who require help to contact our
community hub and signpost them to organisation for assistances (as we have been).
Please note, any contact information/offers you provide may be given to members of the public, therefore please only send contact details/information in which you are happy to share.
If you require any further information on any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Izzi

Beware the numbers are increasing – please follow the guidance.
We (Whittlesey/Fenland) are classed as ‘Medium’ level at present.
Getting to see someone at your surgery maybe easier at some surgeries than others.
If you are not satisfied – keep ringing or ask to speak with the practice manager.
COVID has effected the ways many organisations are now dealing with customers/public.
The stats vary slightly depending on who is publishing them, the websites I get these figures all source their information from The ONS (Office of National Statistics)
The numbers of people testing positive are on the increase here in Fenland & Peterborough.
A message from Cllr Steve Count, Leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, said:
We have a few pictures for you in this update – at the top is a drone picture which shows how well the whole scheme is progressing and you can begin to see the shape of the project.
The bottom left picture shows Jones Bros has almost completed a temporary access road. This will allow site traffic to access key locations of the site including where the underpass will be, Star Pit quarry and the railway bridge to the west of the railway.
The final picture is fencing that has been installed either side of the railway line, this is part of the preparatory work linked to the construction of the bridge, so the fencing acts as a barrier.
The earthworks taking place to the west of the railway line is due to be completed in the next week, then the attention turns to the earthworks at the east of the railway line.
We’re conscious of the weather and the time of year, so Jones Bros are using road sweepers to maintain the A605 – they help clean the road.
Please drive safely and respect the workforce, I’d like to thank you for your patience and understanding while this vital project is constructed.
Lastly from me, you may have already seen it, the autumn version of the newsletter is out – if you’d like a copy just private message us your details and we can make sure you receive one.
Keep safe and well everyone – remember we’re adhering to the local COVID alert level medium.
Pleased to see that someone was working there Saturday afternoon…let us hope all goes to plan…(again).
