Reporting concerns to the Police

A message from Cambridgeshire Police: "In order to identify trends and patterns of behaviour we require information to be passed to us via one of the three forms

Telephone call 101

Online at www.cambs.police.uk/report

Textphone 18001 101

We know that a large number of concerns within some villages are deeply entrenched in the community and there are understandably issues around your confidence in reporting matters to us. We would like to address this by ensuring you know how to report anonymously. For anonymous reporting please contact crime stoppers:

Telephone 0800 555 111

Online at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information

Whilst anonymous reporting often provides difficulties for us when it comes to evidencing matters for court, we would rather have information anonymously than not have access to that information at all. We really would like to know what is happening in our villages so any information that you can provide to us through the above reporting channels is appreciated." (15/07/19)

Your chance to suggest improvements at Waterbeach Rail Station.

Waterbeach Railway Station is in line to get up 80,000 pounds from a Passenger Benefit Fund set up by Govia Thameslink, the station operator/owners. What improvements would you like to see? Submit your ideas to them by completing the survey at this link . THE CLOSING DATE IS 31 JULY 2019.

There is more information about the Passenger Benefit Fund at this link .

Bear in mind that platform lengthening at the station to accommodate 8 cars trains is a matter for Network Rail and not the station operator, so your suggestions should instead focus on matters that the operator can deliver within the budget that has been set. (15/07/19)
