Our patrols of Fenland, East Cambridgeshire and South Cambridgeshire have continued this week, engaging with residents and farmers about any rural crime concerns they may have. It was lovely to talk to those we saw, thank you for stopping to say hi! You can report a rural crime to us by calling 101 or online. If you believe a crime is in progress, or someone is in immediate danger, always dial 999.

The Traffic Management Centre (TMC) monitors the county’s road network and reports any variations to the traffic flow, we refer to these as ‘incidents’. We use the term ‘incident’ to describe something that has happened on the County’s road network which has an impact (of varying degrees) on usual traffic flows. This could include, for example, a Road Traffic Collision, a burst water main or temporary traffic lights for road works.
We are using a new web-based system to log and display these incidents in both map and report formats.
The system is still a work in progress and we have been using it live since August 2022, so anything pre-August has been ported over from our old log which is why there might not be as much detail in the information.
The TMC responded to 117 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in February covering 20 weekdays. This figure is slightly lower to that of what we reported in February 2024 and a decrease to that of Januarys.
Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

Following on from the latest update of the City Science system where we record our incidents, please be aware that when first opening the application it will now default to only showing you the last 28 days of incidents. We found performance of the controller page was struggling when showing the full history. If you want to revert to the old view, you can use the Timespan dropdown at the top of the sidebar and clear the “From” date (the actual clearing procedure is browser dependent, but it should be along the lines of clicking the date input, clicking “Clear” and then “Apply”).
