Our ‘last’ real bank is to close on May 3rd. I’ve been a customer of Barclays (like them or not) since 1969 – celebrating 50 years, I’ve always got on well with them and as press releases state, less and less are using branch services. I was one of the first in Whittlesey to have ‘A Cash Card’ well it was actually a punched card which you pre-paid before hand – £10:00 a card
Sorry to see more staff loosing their jobs and what becomes of the Bank I wonder – maybe a take-away or hairdressers we wait and see….
Only 149 people regularly used the bank for banking services.
Ex Manager Mr Clarence Hurst who ran the bank during the 1960’s and 70’s – now well into his 90’s still lives in Whittlesey, unfortunately he had a fall and last I heard was in hospital.
Sorry for businesses and community group banking –

Just don’t get it – FB™ rumours for-ever – ‘Did you hear’ someone ran out of Jones Butchers without paying, must have been travellers – it transpires to be ‘Untrue’ – there are some very lonely people out there who need help. Councillors and myself are constantly trying to get ‘Facts’ into the public domain and it is getting somewhat tiring to say the least.
Today being Chris Fitzjohn’s funeral is being discussed – no problem, but I wonder how many people actually sat down with Chris and spoke at length with him – I did on many occasions – over many years he was more astute than many give him credit for.
As I’ve said before, if your treated him Ok – he would do the same for you – I was always welcome to his encampment for a cuppa. RIP
The Police have issued their own statement on Fenland Policing FB Page:

Chris Fitzjohn’s Funeral.
There will be a large funeral cortège. Please be patient for those attending to pay their respects.
Sgt Lugg Fenland Policing – I am aware that there are rumors circulating around the possibility of disorder. There are also rumors that the police have requested all businesses and licensed premises in the town to shut for the day.
THIS IS NOT TRUE
We do not have the power to request or enforce this. Nor would we want to.
Please be alive to the number of untruths being circulated in the community designed only to cause no alarm.

Another rumour this week, Whittlesey is to get £500,000 – wrong wrong wrong – nothing of the sorts.
The funding is explained below and Whittlesey is the next town to have this review completed (March 2019 is being promoted). It is a bit of a ‘wish list’ again…..
But with a more practical achievable outcome.
Funding totalling £150,000 is being invested in Fenland as part of ambitious plans to bring jobs, infrastructure and growth to market towns across Cambridgeshire.
March, Chatteris and Whittlesey are among nine towns in the county to have received a share of £150,000 (£50,000 each) from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) to help them create Masterplans for Growth.
Following the successful creation of a Masterplan for Growth for St Neots last year, the nine new masterplans will revitalise the market towns and enable them to become, and remain, vibrant and thriving places in their own right.
The schemes will be developed over the next two years, with plans for March, Chatteris, Whittlesey, Littleport and St Ives being undertaken between April and December this year, and plans for Ramsey, Ely, Soham and Huntingdon being developed in 2019.
James Palmer, Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said: “I’m delighted that after the early success of the St Neots – Masterplan we’re able to announce the next five. Market Towns form the backbone of our county and I’m keen for the Combined Authority to work with them to set out their ambitions for the future.
“Since the Masterplan for St Neots was first launched last summer the steering group has been established and over £5 million has been committed to the town. I hope that progress is as swift with the other plans and that it’s not too long until people start to see results on the ground.”
A Partnership Team for each market town will be brought together by Fenland District Council, assisted by the CPCA, to enable public, private and community representatives to collectively engage the wider community and businesses gather evidence and generate ideas, with the support of specialist consultants.
Combined Authority and our local communities, to come up with bold ambitions for the future growth of these towns.”

What you need to know If the victim is hesitant or refuses to comply, the suspect makes a threat such as immediate arrest, bailiffs or in cases where the victim appears to be of overseas origin; deportation. Often, the period for which the tax is allegedly due is distant enough to guarantee the victim will have little, if any, paperwork or ability to verify the claims. Once the money is paid the suspects sever all contact. What you need to do Listen to your instincts. If something feels wrong then it is usually right to question it. No genuine organisation will ask you to pay taxes, bills or fees using iTunes Gift Cards, or any other type of voucher. Don’t be rushed or pressured into making a decision. Under no circumstances would a genuine bank or some other trusted organisation force you to make a financial transaction on the spot. Report Phishing attempts. If you receive a call, text or email of this nature and have not lost money, report this as a phishing attempt to Action Fraud. |

We’re all busy people – but spare 15 to 20 minutes of your time to listen to a BBC Podcast about Bank Scams – my thanks to Sandra E who put me onto this one.
The BBC Money program goes out on Saturdays and has covered many types of scams before.
This one hits hard to someone who is intelligent.
Over 130,000 people in the UK were victims of Scams – £100 Million+ lost.
At least 8 people in Peterborough and 4 in Whittlesey have lost a substantial
amounts of their money, including life savings.
You can listen to the program by clicking on the secure link below.

There are dozens of useful links on the Money Program Website.
A big thank you to our partners and our patients who have helped us to reduce how much we spend on over the counter medicines. Over the last year we have saved nearly £1.2 million by asking patients to buy medication over the counter, instead of getting it on prescription. As well as saving on prescription costs it has also helped free up GP time and reduce the number of prescriptions issued. Some items like paracetamol can cost as little as 25p, and yet we spend millions every year. Thank you for all your hard work and please help us to continue!
The winter months are a key period for the NHS as we see more people becoming ill and our local NHS services having to work harder to keep people well. In this newsletter there is advice about staying healthy, seeking help early, ordering repeat prescriptions in advance and getting the flu vaccine – these are all things we can do to help ourselves to stay well.
Best wishes

Peterborough targeted this last week.
My web script writer has decided to play up, which means that the lettering/font can change its look through an article, it make it look a bit ‘amateurish’ – so I’m aware of it and working on it.
