A good time had by all I hear – Hundreds had a very enjoyable day – well done to the organisers.
Thanks to KC for the photos……
Further to my earlier post of the 19th – regarding the (2) suspicious gentlemen ‘selling’ Gutter Cleaning at a somewhat inflated price – I now attach 2 photos of them with their van – registration WJ54 VGN. I have received a good response and feedback about these ‘gentlemen’ who have toured the Town and Villages, they normally look for an ‘easy’ job.
They have allegedly done minor damage to some people roof tiles.
They technically may not be breaking any laws – but are certainly very direct and at times intimidating with their sales techniques….
As posted again on the 19th ‘Bogus Callers (2) there is an excellent leaflet to help people understand potential problems.
I have copied our local policing team with this same information.
There are several more reliable and safer people to use.
You have been warned.
Less than 10 minutes on the front and same on the back – £50:00 Maybe HMRC (The Taxman needs to know who these guys are)
Well unfortunately I am still laid up confined to rest, hopefully this week a visit to PCH consultant will release me from house arrest…that said I have a 2nd visit for a badly torn tendon in my shoulder….that’s life.
So we’ve had a very successful BusFest I am told and the weather remained dry and sunny… Toilets, well 2 out of 3 is not bad, my correspondent sent me a photo on Friday to say there was still one toilet still to be repaired….I wonder after 8+ weeks what the issue is now.
The other major concern that I reported – The planning application for an anaerobic waste plant at Horsey Toll 
Farm is scheduled to be heard by committee on Tuesday 4th July at Peterborough Town Hall at 1:30pm. I have not heard if or what representation might be made by either WTC or FDC councillors.. But if all is well – I do plan to attend this meeting – Many in Stanground/Park Farm/Cardia are hoping the application is refused – The implications are many for us in nearby Whittlesey – If you scroll down to my post of the 18th May there is much more to read and research.
Here is what WTC received from our PCSO in regards to crime happening locally and what ‘they’ are or not doing about it.
‘Someone’ (Not me) asked whether we should run a photo competition – ‘Spot the PCSO’ as our latest seems very ‘invisible’ (again others comments) – I do support our Police whenever I/we can – but to say it is difficult is an understatement.
Here is his report…
Finally – I would not normally promote other councillors blogs/websites – however since ‘the majority’ of our councillors seem only to engage with the public come election time – (I stand corrected – there are Councillor Surgeries) or like at General Elections – since there seems to be only (1) councillor who ‘regularly updates his electorate/ward (Delph Ward) maybe see what Cllr Eamonn Dorling has to promote.. including his recently added attendance record.
(I wonder what/where or even suggest where that came from?)

Have a Good Week…..
In the last week Two Rough looking characters were knocking on doors, selling themselves to clean up guttering & soffits, the price they asked for was £60:00 but were open to negotiation – (2) of our elderly neighbours took up the offer – I have them on CCTV and they spent less than 15 minutes on one job and 10 minutes on the other job. If you want this task doing there are a couple of suggestions:
(1) Your friendly window cleaner who you know – may well be up for the job, or may know a ‘friend’ who can do it.
(2) Try one of the ‘Handymen’ out of the monthly magazines that we all have delivered. I am sure you will get a better job done.

Received from Crime Prevention Officer.
There have been some distraction Burglaries in Cambridge City and they are gaining the trust of the elderly by saying that they are from NHW and Police, as you are aware these criminals have used Police and various utility providers as their method of entry in the past NHW is new to us. We don’t want to frighten your members but we do need the message to be sent out distributed by your members to the vulnerable members of our community.
On a couple of occasions violence has been used on the victims.
We need residents to be reminded to not answer their door without chains on and or not answer door at all if they are not expecting anybody. If somebody knocks on the door ask for identification, don’t phone the number on the identification use a number from one of your bills.
IF THEY ARE NOT SURE DON’T OPEN THE DOOR.

Anaerobic Waste Plant Hearing – Save The Date – Tuesday 4th July
The planning application for an anaerobic waste plant at Horsey Toll Farm is scheduled to be heard by committee on Tuesday 4th July at the Town Hall at 1:30pm.
Peterborough South Cllr Chris Harper is fronting the campaign to get this application refused. His website Click Here
One thing I really like on Cllr Harpers site is his attendance record…. What a pity our own Councillors don’t do the same – yes there will be an attendance record kept by the Clerk of the Council and these should be published annually, but looking at Cllr Harpers record – he is a Very busy man indeed for his electorate – well done to him.
Another excellent day out for all – and brings in many visitors to our town – hopefully all the ‘facilities’ are in good working order….

Seeing as Ransomware has dominated the news in the last week I have attached a separate advisory which I would ask you to circulate among your networks. For those who are unsure what ransomware, viruses, worms and Trojans are the Get Safe Online website has some basic definitions and for those who want further advice on how to protect yourselves these can be found on the websites for the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Eastern Region Serious and Organised Crime Unit (ERSOU) or Microsoft. An Action Fraud alert was sent earlier this week on ecops.
Both documents can be circulated within your communities.
