Our fraud and cyber prevention officers are always working hard to help safeguard people against romance scams like the one below.
They’ve been dealing with an influx of celebrity-based romance scams recently and have some important advice to share…
Imagine caring for your ailing husband in his final days after 50 years of marriage.
He’s your rock, your world, your everything. After his death you’re suddenly all alone. Your days were once filled with love, laughter and latterly a duty of care, but now you’re left with time on your hands. Struggling through a heavy, grief-filled fog, you seek solace online and connection with friends over social media.
You join fan pages of some of your favourite celebrities – it brings you joy to read about their latest work and helps to fill the dark, relentless void left by your recent loss. Then, one day, while scrolling through social media, you receive a message out of the blue, it’s from American Actor and film producer, Jason Momoa. You’ve been following his fan page and he’s reached out to say hello. You can hardly believe your eyes, but you strike up a conversation – you’re not going to pass up this opportunity.
You exchange messages for days on end and suddenly you start to feel less alone. Over weeks of contact, romance blossoms between you and he sends you a picture of a house in Hawaii he’s building for you both to live together. Due to his high-flying lifestyle he has an unusual financial situation and his cash is tied up in his many film projects. He needs you to send him money to help finish the house ready for your arrival. Things escalate and you hand over more than £500,000 in total, including money from the sale of your home – you’re not going to need it, you’ll be living in Hawaii with the incredibly successful Jason.
But you’re not going to Hawaii, are you? Because the whole thing is a scam.
This might sound ridiculously far-fetched, but it’s a true story and it happened to a vulnerable woman from Cambridgeshire recently, leaving her without a home.
You might not fall for something like this, but do you know someone who could?
Fraudsters deliberately research their victims and target the most vulnerable in society or those going through tough times.
Fraud and cyber prevention officer, Dave York, said: “Romance scams cause devastation for victims and their families. Scammers target the most vulnerable people and those at their lowest ebb, looking to fill a gap in their lives. “They brainwash victims for weeks, even months at a time, until they’re completely convinced by the web of lies and hand over their money.
“We work tirelessly to help tackle romance scams, but due to perpetrators often operating remotely from other countries, it can be so hard to track them down and bring them to justice.
“The best thing we can do is safeguard victims and prevent people being drawn in by such scams, and that’s where friends and family members can help too.”

Police are urging residents to be vigilant following a series of distraction burglaries reported in and around Cambridge. The incidents reported have involved two women claiming to offer massages to help back, knee and leg pain, specifically to the elderly, disabled and vulnerable individuals. Here are some simple steps you can take to help protect yourself. Please share with any vulnerable neighbours or relatives. · Check who’s at the door using a viewer or spyhole. · If you do open the door, keep the security chain on. · Always ask for ID and confirm it with the company before letting anyone in. · Use a trusted phone number from a directory or official website – don’t rely on the number shown on their ID card, as it could be fake.
For utility companies, contact their customer service team. Close the door while you make the call.
If you’re unsure, arrange for the visitor to return when someone else can be with you.
You can read more about the incidents on our website.

Proposal
Submission of details required by conditions 3 (Surface and Foul Water Drainage), 4 (Flood Resilient), 5 (External Material) and 12 (Boundary Treatment) of planning permission 24/02229/S73.
The 2025 Willingham Community Plan identified “Traffic Volume, Congestion and Speed” as a main concern of residents. Although the Parish Council has requested a weight limit on the B1050 on numerous occasions, we have been repeatedly told that this cannot be done because, as one of the few crossings of the Great Ouse, the route is of strategic importance.
To try to reduce traffic speed, the Parish Council successfully applied for 40 mph buffer zones north and south of the village centre. We also installed Speed Indicating Devices (SIDs) in partnership with the Roadwatch group and supported the village SpeedWatch scheme.
The SIDs show drivers how fast they are travelling but also log traffic. The latest report from devices within the 30 mph zone on Earith Road recorded outbound (2 weeks): 600 over 50 mph with a maximum speed of 87 mph and inbound (3 weeks): 1776 over 50 mph with a maximum speed of 79 mph. Historically, the highest speeds recorded have been over 100 mph. This is a clear demonstration that something must be done to curb these excessive speeds and the last resort is a physical barrier.
As a condition of the planning permission for Northstowe, developers had to contribute Section 106 funds to mitigate the effects of increased traffic in surrounding villages. Section 106 funds are paid by developers to create facilities (e.g. additional school places, recreational land) or correct problems which may be caused by new developments. The money has been allocated to Cambridgeshire County Council Highways Department and can only be used for this specific purpose. It cannot be used for general maintenance. If it is not spent within the time limit, then the money must be returned.
The Highways Department has proposed spending some of these funds on speed restriction measures in Willingham. They have suggested a give way restriction with priority to outbound traffic. This was surprising; when the Parish Council requested such restrictions in the past, we were told that they would not work because of the “tidal flow” of the traffic through Willingham. This opinion has changed, apparently because the traffic lights are now thought to give sufficient breaks in traffic.
The Parish Council have previously suggested that road narrowing, with or without a central island, might be a solution. Ironically, Highways considered the road too narrow already and widening it would be too expensive given the ditches at the roadside.
Before effort is spent on detailed design and costs of any works, it is important to hear public opinion. If the project does progress then we will, of course, share exact details and consult particularly those residents who may be most affected.
Comments can be emailed to: clerk@willinghamparishcouncil.gov.uk or popped through the letter box of the office, located at the Ploughman Hall, West Fen Road. Please note that due to the anticipated volume, we will not able to reply to each submission individually.
Responses must be received by 25th September 2025.

Operation Galileo Relaunched: United Front Against Hare Coursing
We have joined forces with Essex Police, Hertfordshire Constabulary and NPAS to re-launch Operation Galileo — a joint initiative to tackle hare coursing and rural crime.
This is more than a relaunch. It’s a clear message: we will not tolerate hare coursing or the criminality that comes with it. Borders do not protect offenders, and they do not restrict our ability to work together.
The operation includes: · Coordinated enforcement and intelligence sharing across counties. · NPAS aircraft supporting rural patrols and tracking offenders. · Specialist rural crime officers responding swiftly and building strong cases for prosecution.
We’re standing shoulder to shoulder to protect our rural communities and wildlife.
Leaders call for views on unitary council for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire
The leaders of Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District councils are making the case for a new unitary council for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire and have today launched a survey to ask for local views.
The survey runs until 11:59pm on Sunday 12 October and also asks for suggestions for a name for the new council if it goes ahead. Take the survey on either council’s engagement platform:
The Leader of Cambridge City Council, Cllr Cameron Holloway, said: “We know that many residents see the current two-tier local government arrangements for our area as confusing and inefficient. We now have the chance to simplify matters: all areas with two tiers of local government are being asked to reorganise into ‘unitary’ councils, which combine all local government functions in one authority. Earlier in the year, council leaders set out three options for the geographical configuration of new councils in our area: Options A, B and C. I believe that Option B is the best option for local residents.
“A unitary council combining Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire would work best for our area: it has a coherent identity; the two councils already share several services, such as planning and waste collection; ours are the only two council-house-owning authorities in the county; and a single council for our fast-growing city and its surrounding area would help to streamline governance and enable us to better manage the pressures that come with growth.
“A larger northern council would provide financial resilience and economies of scale, but could offer locally specific services to support the differing needs of communities across the area.”
The Leader of South Cambridgeshire District Council, Cllr Bridget Smith, said: “Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire are already joined together in lots of ways, particularly with the unique geography which sees Cambridge surrounded by South Cambridgeshire’s towns and villages on all sides. We share an award-winning planning service and we’re working on a shared Local Plan which will ensure desperately needed new homes are built in a planned way with the right supporting facilities also being built at the right time.
“Meanwhile, 80% of working residents would both live and work in the new unitary area. For example, many of you living in Cambridge head into South Cambridgeshire when you get a train from Cambridge North, use Trumpington Park and Ride or for weekend walks in the countryside. Many of you living in South Cambridgeshire travel into Cambridge to work, use sports and leisure services, or for a day at the shops. In many ways, a new single council covering Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire just formalises what already happens.”
During a joint survey for all the local authorities during the summer, residents and business gave councils a strong message that they will support reorganisation if it achieves tangible benefits for them.
Regardless of which option you prefer in future there will be:
One council to contact: Today, most residents must work out whether the County Council or their city or district council is responsible for potholes, bins or social care. In future, whatever option is chosen by national Government, you’ll have one council to contact for all local services, making it easier to get help and hold leaders to account.
Money saved, better frontline services: By merging seven councils into two, duplication is cut, and money can be saved. That could mean more funds available for fixing potholes, cleaner streets and better support for families and older residents.
There is no easy way to create two new councils that reflect the diverse rural and urban identities of Cambridgeshire. The leaders of Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District councils believe ‘Option B’ is better than the other options because:
It creates two councils with similar size economies and distinct strengths: a ‘southern council’, for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire, Europe’s leading science and technology hub, and a large and diverse ‘economic powerhouse’ in the north for Peterborough, Huntingdonshire, Fenland and East Cambridgeshire.
Jobs and opportunities are closer to home: three quarters of all residents that work would live and work in the council area where they reside. And because each council has distinct but complementary economic strengths, they can each focus on attracting the investment their areas need to ensure residents can find good jobs and affordable homes locally.
Public services are better: a larger council in the north can use its scale to drive efficiencies as well as localise service provision to meet diverse community needs. The smaller southern council area already has many joint services and, uniquely, 1 in 10 homes are council-owned, enabling closer integration with health services and social care.
It’s more financially sustainable and fairer: resources are split most fairly, which is better value for money and minimises the impact on council tax payers. As a result, both new councils are in the best position to meet the different needs of their residents and residents of all parts of Cambridgeshire.
It respects historic identities: the ‘southern council’ aligns closely with the old administrative county of Cambridgeshire, whilst the ‘northern council’ would respect the historic identities of the Isle of Ely and the former county of Huntingdonshire, and would not cut Fen communities in half.
Timeline for Local Government Reorganisation
National Government outlined plans in late 2024 to disband existing district, city and county councils in order to create new ‘unitary’ councils from April 2028. That would mean an end to the seven district, city and county councils across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and replacing them with fewer unitary councils. Each new unitary council would provide all council services in the areas they serve, in contrast to the current model where Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire residents are served by either the city or district council and the County Council.
The Government will ultimately decide what new unitary councils to create. Before Government makes that decision, the seven Cambridgeshire councils have been asked to explore possible options and submit proposals to Government before the end of November 2025.
Cambridgeshire County Council is leading on the proposal for option A; Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council are working with all other councils on Option B; and Huntingdonshire District Council is leading on the proposal for Option C.
A survey was run jointly by all seven councils during summer this year, asking residents for general feedback about local government and their future priorities. This survey is seeking to gather feedback about residents’ preferred geographical option for new unitary councils in our area.
Take the survey
You can now have your say on whether you support a unitary council for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire. The surveys linked below are identical and people only need to respond once on their preferred platform, before the survey closes at 11:59pm on Sunday 12 October.
A public focus group will also be held to further explore Option B – further information is available via each council’s website mentioned above.
At Cambridge City Council’s Full Council meeting on Thursday 24 July, Councillors passed a motion outlining how a unitary authority based on the current boundaries of Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council, alongside viable arrangements for the rest of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, is likely to be the best option for the residents of Cambridge. The most recent report on local government reorganisation discussed by South Cambridgeshire District Councillors was debated at a Full Council meeting on Thursday 17 July 2025. At that meeting, the Leader, Cllr Bridget Smith told District Councillors that her administration would be promoting a new unitary council covering Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire. Meanwhile, this summer the two leaders wrote an open letter on this topic.
Responses to the Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire survey will be used to feed into the proposals being developed by the councils – which will be discussed at Full Council meetings before they must be submitted to Government in November. There will then be further consultation, before Government ultimately makes a final decision. New councils are expected to operate in a shadow capacity from May 2027 before full implementation in April 2028, known as ‘vesting day’.

Neighbourhood officers continue crackdown on e-scooters
Police have seized 13 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters as part of a crackdown on their unlawful use across South Cambridgeshire.
The four-day operation this week (8-11 September) led by neighbourhood officers saw 12 illegal e-scooters and one e-bike seized. These were removed from the streets of Cambourne, Northstowe, Histon and Impington and Orchard Park.
Officers spoke to schools who have a zero-tolerance approach with use of e-scooters and continued their ongoing education to try to prevent illegal use or inform those thinking of buying one. E-scooters are only permitted for use on public roads if they are part of official government rental trials, or when ridden on private property with the landowner’s consent. Using privately owned e-scooters on public roads, pavements, or cycle lanes remains against the law. Neighbourhood Sergeant Rob Taylor said: “We’ve had several reports about e-scooters being used dangerously in various areas. We’ve listened to the community’s concerns and responded by tackling the illegal and unsafe use of these vehicles. Our commitment is to continue taking proactive measures regarding their use.
“We will also continue to deliver education sessions in schools and engage with parents to raise awareness about the legal requirements.” Members of the public are encouraged to report unsafe or illegal e-scooter use via the force website or on the police non-emergency number 101.
More information on the law surrounding e-scooters and e-bikes is available on the website. Kind Regards, Annabelle Mullee
