Charlie (Chittenden) sadly will be leaving her role as Social Prescriber at Jenner Healthcare to take on a new role within the probation service.

Her final day is Friday 6^th February.

As you all know Charlie has always been a key advocate for all things health and community related in Whittlesey and gone above and beyond in everything she has done, this is evident with the prestigious award she won in 2023 Social Prescribing Link worker of the Year.

It has been a privilege to work with Charlie on so many projects.
I’m sure you will join me in congratulating her in her new role what a loss for Whittlesey.

The refuse collection teams are doing their last Saturday catch up collections Saturday 
I’ve been in touch and Officers will Saturday morning evaluate the latest EA advice about North Bank and, if appropriate, will seek to start the Monday morning round an hour earlier on the western A605 round to seek to avoid causing additional disruption when the queueing is at its worst.

A flood alert has been issued by the Environment Agency. 

Flood alert in force: Lower Nene 

Flooding is possible for: River Nene between Wansford and the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice to the east of Peterborough 

Rising river levels today may lead to flooding. 

Flooding is possible from the afternoon of 17 January 2026. 

Locations most affected will be low lying land and roads near rivers. Our forecasts indicate that flooding to properties isn’t likely and therefore flood warnings are not expected to be issued. 

We are closely monitoring the situation. 

Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. Avoid low lying roads, near rivers which may be flooded. 

This message will be updated by 12:00 PM on 18th January 2026 or as the situation changes.

Do you know the signs of drug dealing?

➡️Lots of different people coming and going from an address at all times of the day and night

➡️Strange smells coming from the property

➡️Windows covered or curtains closed all the time

➡️Cars pulling up to or near the house for a short period of time

Tackling drug dealing and associated criminality is a priority for a lot of our neighbourhood teams over the next few months, but they need your reports to help identify hotspot areas and those involved.

When it comes to reporting any concerns, the more detail the better!
It is important to try and include:

✔️Descriptions of any individuals or vehicles involved

✔️Specific times of day and locations it is happening

Any concerns can be reported to us by calling 101 or online.

If a crime is in progress, or someone is in immediate danger, then always dial 999.

You can find out what your local officers are focusing on via our website.

A flood warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.

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

Flooding is expected for: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

High river levels are expected to cause flooding this evening. 
 
Flooding is expected from the evening of 16 January 2026. 
 
Further rainfall showers are forecast over the next several days, and therefore river levels will remain high. During periods of high tide the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst this 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. 
 
We are monitoring rainfall and river levels. 

Refer to local authority website for road closures. 
 
This message will be updated by 4:00PM on 17 January 2026 or as the situation changes. 

Act now

Amber alert over state of Cambridgeshire’s crumbling roads.
The dire state of Cambridgeshire’s crumbling road surfaces is the “number one topic” raised by residents, a senior councillor has said, as the government issues a new amber rating for the county’s highways.
The Department for Transport’s new traffic light rating system assesses every local highway authority in England against road condition, investment levels and adoption of best practice.
