Community Police Meeting


The current priorities for our March neighbourhood teams are:

1️⃣Tackling vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in March, Whittlesey, and Chatteris town centres

2️⃣Proactive targeting of known drug dealing and drug use hotspots within March, Whittlesey, and Chatteris town centres, with a focus on disrupting criminal networks and safeguarding young people at risk of exploitation

3️⃣Provide a visible policing presence in town centres and other public spaces to offer community reassurance and address safety concerns.

Do you have something you would like to raise in relation to these priorities?
Or perhaps hear about the work we are doing in your area?

Then come and meet your local neighbourhood officers at our upcoming community meetings:

👮March Library, from 11am until 12pm, on Friday, 13 March

👮Chatteris Library, from 1pm until 2pm, on Friday, 13 March

👮Whittlesey Library, from 3pm until 4pm, on Friday, 13 March

If you are unable to make it, we will be holding more throughout the year, so keep an eye out on here, ‘Policing Fenland’ on Facebook, or our website for upcoming meetings.

The Final Push – Johnsons Planning Application @ Saxon Works.

Unfortunatly I am unable to attend todays meeting, however I am pleased to have ‘sponsored’ the Free Bus taking some 30 or so residents and a Councillor or maybe two
for the meeting today.
With CCC ‘Planning Officers’ recommending to approve the application, stating there will be conditions to protect the residents and environment…..
Sorry CCC – this has only worked so far with some very limited and recent contacts and updates – good news in some respect.

Please take 2 minutes and read the latest below.

The Cost Of Play Equipment…..Eye Watering

FDC was granted £1.5m for projects and FDC has decided to spilt the money to be spent mostly on play parks and open spaces to each of the 4 towns (£250k each) and villages (£500k combined) it is for decision at Cabinet on Monday 23rd March as to where and how this money will be spent. The report for Fenland as a whole has to be published no later than Friday 13th March. Therefore the proposals need to be completed by next Tuesday, Officers (and the Portfolio Holder) need the prioritisation responses from Members by this Thursday at the latest.

Where the money is spent is not a WTC decision we only offer proposals. It is for cabinet to recommend the proposals to full district council.

Whittlesey Councillors are being asked to submit requests (very tight time), so far
There has been requests
1/ Play Area @ Church Street/St Andrews
2/ Tennis Court Re-surfacing @ The Manor.
3/ Storage and Hub Unit for Platinum Wood/Yarwells.
There may be others that I am at this point unaware of….

To give an idea of how much play equipment costs, see below, however I am told FDC use multiple suppliers, I dare say the prices are similar.
