Phew – Would You Believe It !!!!! 2,500 Postings….

Another statistic reached today, with now some 2,500 posts placed on this Web-Blog and over
million hits since I first started ‘informing’ the electorate in what was St Mary’s Ward Whittlesey.

As I have said on many occasions, only 40% is to do with Council business, the rest is community information –

‘Facts’ not fiction – ‘Real News’ – not ‘Fake News’…..

Myself with Cllr Ray Bisby (Stanground South) – now the intrim appointed Police & Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire. Ray & I have met on occasions exchangings concerns and issues which affect us – especially his Council Ward covering Cardea.
I have said that talking with Ray is like a breath of fresh air – he is open and transparent.

The sometimes fictional world of ‘Social Media’ can cause many issues and problems.
It would ‘appear’ that the downfall of Ex PCC Jason Ablewhite was caught in ‘remarks’ he may have made on Social Network(s).

I too have to be very careful of my facts, and have said on many occasions – am accountable for what I say and publish – it is not as easy as some may think.

The testament is 2,500 posts and million hits.
I hope I can keep informing a bit longer (not for ever).

Good Support From My MN Colleagues….

Our ‘British Merchant Navy’ might not be as in the 1960’s or 70’s but the support from the civilian side ‘The Royal Fleet Auxiliary’ provides essential logistics, manned and commanded by Merchant Navy Men & Women.

I am proud to have been in the ‘British Merchant Navy’ for nearly 28 years, visited over 100 countries and covered over 1,000,000 nautical miles – I kept a journal and log-book of my sailing days.
I did not sail with The RFA , but had several friends and colleagues who did.

Friday 29th – Flood Warning Still In Effect

North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

Flooding is expected – immediate action required

Heavy rain over the last few days has caused river levels to rise on the River Nene. In combination with the high tide the river will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding at North Bank Road. It is expected this Flood Warning will remain in force until at least Saturday 30th November. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.
