TMC Incident Report
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.
This system can be viewed by visiting; https://cadence247-ccc.controller.cityscience.com/
The TMC responded to 109 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in June covering 22 weekdays. This is an increase to May and that of June 2022. Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

We have now completed uploading all the historic data from 2018 -2023 onto google maps which you can find via the links below. Not all of March’s has been uploaded yet, at the time of sending these we may not have entirely completed the previous months but please bear with us, they will be rolled out in the month following together with this email.

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”).

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a priority
This week is Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week. Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is an issue that is a focus for our Neighbourhood Policing Teams, as reported by concerns from our communities across the county. What is Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)? Defined in the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003, it is ‘behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person.’ There are three main types of ASB: · Personal ASB is when someone targets a specific individual or group · Nuisance ASB is when someone causes trouble, annoyance or suffering to a community · Environmental ASB is when someone’s actions affect the wider environment, such as public spaces or buildings There are many things that are categorised as ASB, including: · Rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour · Littering · Drug use and littering of paraphernalia · Dangerous, nuisance or inconsiderate driving/riding Have you heard of an ASB case review? An ASB case review can be launched when a victim of repeat ASB has reported it three times and is unsatisfied with the way the reports are being handled. The result of triggering this is a multi-agency case review where local authorities, the police, local health teams and registered providers of social housing come together to review the case. After the meeting, an action plan will be drafted and shared with the victim. For more information on how to launch an ASB case review, visit your local council’s website via the relevant link below. · Peterborough ASB case reviews · Fenland ASB case reviews · Huntingdonshire ASB case reviews · East Cambs ASB case reviews · South Cambs ASB case reviews · Cambridge City ASB care reviews For more information about ASB, as well as how to report concerns, please visit our website’s dedicated Antisocial behaviour page.

E-cops – Cable Thefts
![]() ![]() |
![]() |
We are urging people to report anything suspicious around cable thefts.![]() Underground cables, which connect homes and businesses to the phone and broadband network, have been targeted by criminals in locations including the A10 Waterbeach, A1198 Cambourne, Linton, Mepal, Soham, Somersham, Wickham and Wooley. The damage caused often leaves hundreds of people without working phone or broadband for long periods of time. With the rising prices of scrap metal including copper and aluminium, cables are becoming a popular target amongst thieves. They will lift up manhole covers by grass verges or carriageways to access the underground cables often masquerading as legitimate contractors. The plastic sheathing on the cables will then be burnt in fields and the metal inside sold on. We’re working with Openreach to target suspects and areas we believe are at increased risk. What you can do: 👀 Look out for open manhole covers and be aware of bogus roadworks or suspicious activity around the covers. 👀Look out for thick acrid black smoke and fires in rural locations, this could be thieves burning the cables. 👀Cables are often pulled from the ground and dragged along farmer’s fields in order to cut them up. Be aware of this type of crop damage. Concerns or information can be reported online, quoting Op Akita. In an emergency always call 999. Openreach also has a dedicated area of their website Report cable theft | Openreach where you can find out more about their work to combat cable theft, along with details about how to contact their security team.

E-Cops Action Fraud – Scam Emails
![]() ![]() |
![]() |
Dear subscriber, Almost 21 million reports have been made to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS), resulting in the removal of over 235,000 malicious websites. SERS was launched by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the City of London Police in April 2020 to enable the public to forward suspicious emails to an automated system that scans them for malicious links. Since its launch, almost 21 million reports have been made to the service. Mobile phone providers also offer a service that allows customers to report suspicious text messages, by forwarding them to the number 7726. The service is free of charge and enables providers to takedown malicious websites and block malicious texts from being sent across their network. As of 31 May 2023, 54,000 text message scams have been removed as a result of suspicious texts forwarded to the 7726 service. Commander Nik Adams, from City of London Police, said: “Every year, thousands of people in the UK are scammed by a fraudulent email or text message. Phishing scams, whether it’s a text message claiming you have missed a delivery and are required to pay a redelivery fee, or an email claiming to be from your bank are a common security challenges that both individuals and businesses across the UK face on a daily basis. “If you receive an email or text message that you think might be a scam, don’t respond to it or click any links in the message or email. Instead, contact the organisation directly using contact information from the company’s official website, and not the links or numbers provided in the message itself. “If you think you have been a victim of fraud, report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. By reporting phishing scams or suspected fraud, you are directly helping us in our work to identify and stop these criminals and helping us protect others from these scams. If you are in Scotland, I ask that you report the fraud directly to Police Scotland by calling 101.” How to protect yourself from scam emails and texts Received an email or text that seems suspicious? Report it. Your reports enable us to remove the emails and websites criminals use to commit fraud and cyber crime. 1: Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk . Send emails to this address that feel suspicious, even if you’re not certain they’re a scam – we can check. 2: Forward suspicious text messages to 7726 (it’s free of charge). Your provider can find out where the text came from and block or ban the sender. 3 – If you’ve lost money or provided personal information as a result of a phishing scam, notify your bank immediately and report it to Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040. In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101. Please note: Sometimes a forwarded email may not reach us because it is already recognised by spam detection services. You can also take a screenshot of the email and send it to report@phishing.gov.uk (If you found this information useful, please forward it to your friends and family) |
