This week there have been two crimes reported. Damage to locks at a business premises, Stirling Way in Papworth and the theft of a number-plate from a vehicle outside an address in Middleton Way in Fen Drayton.
I have been out and about this week on foot and in the car. Yesterday I visited the Children’s Play Centre at Papworth which was great fun!
I am really trying to promote both Speed Watch and Neighbourhood Watch at the moment - so if anyone is interested please do let me know.
GOOD NEWS - After months of working together to put this in place I have been told by Papworth Hospital that the double yellow lines covering the junction entrances will be put in place by the first week in September. This is great to hear and will hopefully put a stop to the obstructive parking by the junctions in this area.
I have issued further tickets along the stretch of road outside Papworth Hospital and have issued warning notices to two cars parked too close to the junction down Elm Way - please do bear in mind where you park - I am keeping a log of those parked too close to this junction and will issue tickets to persistent offenders.
We have conducted a further speed check on Cootes Lane, Fen Drayton and three fixed penalty tickets for excess speed were issued. I am off out again today to carry out more speed-checks so please do watch your speed! I will let you know how I get on.
I am still working on the Park Watch scheme for Fen Drayton Nature Reserve and I have even had people reply to my e-cops to say they would like to be involved which is great news! We are looking to hold an open day to launch the scheme so I will keep you updated!
I have had another report of quad bikes, mini-moto and mopeds being used around the South Park Drive area of Papworth. In order for people to ride like this if on a public road they need to be displaying a number plate, be fully insured, taxed and wearing a helmet. If they are driving on fields, they need permission of the land owner, insurance and to be wearing a helmet. I am taking action to tackle this however please do let me know if you are affected by this and have witnessed any offences.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0345 456 456 4 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

We wanted to let you know about an incident involving the police helicopter last Wednesday night in case you wondered what was going on.
Police made arrests after the force helicopter spotted men behaving suspiciously beside the A14.
The helicopter reported two men hiding in a hedgerow near a lay-by on the eastbound cariageway at Swavesey at just before 0100 on 12 August.
The men got into a car and drove off at speed towards Godmanchester but stopped near Huntingdon.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of theft a short while later.
A few minutes later the helicopter spotted two more men hiding underneath a van back at the same lay-by at Swavesey.
Officers on the ground attended the scene and two men were arrested.
All the men were arrested on suspicion of theft of diesel and were taken to Parkside Police Station.
