Boy in critical condition following A1M collision

A teenage boy is in a critical condition following a collision on the A1M yesterday afternoon (Saturday).

The 16-year-old boy was the front-seat passenger of a black Peugeot 107 when it was involved in a collision with a white Ford Transit 350 Leader minibus at about 4.30pm.

The collision happened near junction 14 of the A1M southbound at Alconbury Hill, resulting in the road being closed for several hours.

The driver of the Peugeot, a 49-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries while the teenage boy was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

Seven occupants of the minibus were treated for minor injuries.

Sergeant Mark Atkins, from the Beds, Cambs and Herts Road Policing Unit, said: “I would like to appeal for anyone who has dashcam footage of the collision, or either vehicle in the moments leading up to it, to contact us.

“Many people stopped to help but have not yet provided statements, therefore I would also like to appeal for them to get in touch with us.”

The driver of the minibus, a 26-year-old man from South Yorkshire, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving. He has been released on bail until November.

Anyone with information should contact us online via our webchat service or reporting forms and quote incident 359 of 24 August. Those without internet access should call 101.

Traffic Management Centre Incident Map and 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/

We have attached a quick user guide to show you how to view the report and map but if you have any questions or feedback on the system, please don’t hesitate to send us an email. 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 88 incidents on the road network throughout Cambridgeshire in July covering 23 weekdays. This is a decrease to June’s figure and that of what we were seeing in July 2023.

Please see the table below which illustrates the number of incidents over the last 6 months, compared to the same period last year;

Our @Cambs_Traffic X account is our quickest engagement tool with the public and the interaction gives a good indication of how effective the messages are getting out to people.

Throughout July we gained 40 new followers however we lost a few making the increase 34 which is greater than that of June’s figure.

Since X took over Twitter there have been a number of inconsistencies in the analytics causing confusion over actual figures. Unfortunately the option for posts sent has now been taken away meaning that we cannot easily report on this. It would seem also that profile visits had previously been amalgamated with video views which has now been separated meaning that there is a big decrease in the figures below. We are looking for ways to continue to give you the data below.

The table below illustrates the analytics over the last 6 months.

You may have noticed that we are sending out more educational posts designed to give you a little bit more of an understanding around different types of works. We try to make these as informative as possible and will continue to role these posts out as we feel they are super useful to our followers and the engagement has been positive.

Cambridgeshire County Council – Cambridgeshire Matters newsletter

Having trouble viewing this newsletter? Open it in a web page Cambridgeshire Matters
Welcome to Cambridgeshire Matters – July 2024 Cambridgeshire Matters is our monthly newsletter which aims to share good news, highlights and updates from across Cambridgeshire to help our network of district, city and community members stay informed.   Find out about the great work that is taking place to support everyone in the county. Share this newsletter with your communities and feel welcome to use any of the features in your own newsletter or on social media.
 
Cambridgeshire welcomes new and returning Members of Parliament (MPs)
 
As a result of the General Election, Cambridgeshire now has five new MPs representing constituencies across Cambridgeshire. There are also two returning MPs.   MPs can help with issues that are the responsibility of the UK Parliament. But often the right person to contact will be a local councillor (either county, district, town or parish), Citizens Advice, or an Ombudsman.    Information and guidance on who you should contact with your issue is available on the UK Parliament website.   
 

 
County’s kerbside war on weeds now underway
 
The county’s chemical weed treatment programme is in full swing as more than 440km of kerbside weeds have been treated already in just a few weeks – the equivalent distance of just under 5,000 football pitches – and will cover 243 parish areas in total.   The programme began in June and is expected to finish in August. A second treatment will take place in October. Chemical weed treatment underway
 
Chemical weed treatment is applied directly to weeds in the kerb line of our roads and footways. It will typically take about three to five weeks for the treatment to take effect – after this, road sweepers will come along to remove dead weeds.    For more information on our weed treatment programme, visit our website  
 
 

 
 
Families can ‘Get Activated’ this summer
 
Families across Cambridgeshire are in for a treat this summer with the launch of Get Activated, the countywide summer activity campaign.   There are hundreds of free and low-cost activities for families with children under the age of 13, run by the county and district councils and their partners, including many options for play, cycling, walking, sports and activities to keep families busy, entertained and having fun. Happy children playing with kites
 
These include: the Cambridgeshire Libraries Summer Reading Challenge, the Cambridgeshire Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, and a range of activities hosted at the council’s Child and Family Centres, with sessions focusing on the ‘50 Things to Do Before You’re Five‘ app. As part of the campaign, this year will also feature ‘Get Activated on Tour’, where the council will spotlight activities in each district – so be sure to follow our social media to keep up to date.   By championing affordable outdoor family activities that encourage active travel, physical activity and wellbeing in various local settings and communities, the campaign significantly contributes to Cambridgeshire County Council’s vision of creating a greener, fairer and more caring county for our children and young people.     
 
 

 
 
Have your say on active travel in Cambridgeshire
 
We look after a highways network comprising of 4,500km of roads, 2,936km of footways, more than 550km of designated cycleways, and more than 3,000km of public rights of way.   One of Cambridgeshire County Council’s key ambitions is making “travel across the county safer and more environmentally sustainable”. As part of this, we’re committed to supporting and encouraging more active travel. 
 
Active travel means making a journey in a physical or active way, such as walking and wheeling – which includes cycling, scootering, roller skating, or using a wheelchair or mobility aid. It could also mean riding a horse.   We’re looking at how our footpaths, highways and public rights of way (PROW) networks could be prioritised for management and maintenance going forward. We have therefore launched an eight-week consultation (closing on Monday 16 September 2024), asking the public how they would prioritise the maintenance of our roads and pathways.    By using the interactive maps, you will be able to give location-specific feedback which we can then analyse and consider for integration into the Active Travel Hierarchy report.  
 
 

 
 
Celebrating 60 years of Mobile Libraries in Cambridgeshire
 
This month, Cambridgeshire’s mobile libraries celebrated 60 years of service, delivering books and much more to both rural and urban communities across the county.    The first ever recorded mobile library stop in Cambridgeshire was Longstanton. The nearest postcode and current stop in Northstowe is now one of the service’s most popular stops and was a fitting place to hold the celebration, which was attended by local residents, councillors, and members of the library service both past and present.  Mobile libraries 60th birthday celebration
 
60 years on, our mobile libraries visit more than 400 locations in the county each month with each library carrying more than 3,000 items of stock – from books and magazines, to stamps, reading glasses, and even hearing aid batteries.   
 
 

 
 
Are you interested in the benefits of community energy?
 
Cambridgeshire County Council is keen to hear your views on community energy and what we need to do to support local people to contribute to our county wide aims for a Net Zero Cambridgeshire by 2045.   Community energy in the UK comprises of 206 MW of solar, 113 MW of wind, 12 MW of hydroelectric and 4.7 MW of heat generation capacity with most projects being rooftop solar technology.    The project build costs can be funded from grants, community share offers, bonds and/or loans. To secure investment, projects need to be able to generate a return, typically around 5%. Projects generate the revenue to cover operating costs and sell electricity to the grid through Power Purchase Agreements. Surplus income is often invested in other projects to benefit the community.    Is this something your local community is interested in? If so, please review our ideas and let us know how we can help you and your ambitions by sharing your feedback as we develop our offer to communities.    The deadline for completing the survey is Monday 16 September 2024.

Urge to parents and guardians to educate children on hoax calling

eCops Logo The Police
Message Type Icon Urge to parents and guardians to educate children on hoax calling
If you are a parent or guardian, we are appealing for your help as we enter of the school summer holidays.   

In recent years, we have seen a trend of increased hoax calls from children and young people during the six-week break.  

Whilst we appreciate that the majority of children enjoy time off school being safe and responsible, some think that prank calling the police on the emergency line is a harmless joke, which is not the case.   

Hoax calls are treated very seriously and those responsible are warned that misuse of the emergency line can cost lives.   

If 999 operators are busy dealing with a hoax caller, they could be prevented from answering a genuine call, which in some instances could be a life-or-death situation. Hoax calls cost lives and are a waste of valuable resources.  

Not only that, but it is an offence to make a malicious or hoax call to the emergency services. Hoax callers could face a maximum penalty of up to six months in prison or a fine of £5,000.   

All calls to the emergency services are recorded and we can always trace the number, even if the call is made from a withheld number.  

We ask that in an effort to ensure your children and / or family members enjoy their summer break out of trouble, you take the time to educate them about the dangers of hoax calling, and the consequences of doing so.   

Superintendent Neil Billany, head of demand, said: “Our 999 phone lines are also often the target of hoax calls from youngsters, messing around with their friends.   

“Not only is this frustrating for our call handlers who work tirelessly to help those in danger, but it’s also a criminal offence, and could cost lives.  

“My plea to parents and carers is to make sure they educate their children on the dangers of hoax calling, and the consequences of it, not only for them, but for other people too.  

“We also ask parents and carers to provide children with ideas on how to spend their time safely and out of trouble, to avoid boredom which can lead to hoax / prank calling.”  

Our colleagues at Norfolk Police released this video which provides a stark reminder as to why not to hoax call.   

Learn more on the No Joke to Hoax campaign page on the force website.  

Kind regards,

Scheme to help people communicate with the police

Pegasus scheme

Our Pegasus scheme is for people who find it hard to communicate with us – we keep your pre-registered information safe on our computer and we can access it quickly if you call us. You don’t need to repeat all your details.

Who can register?

  • Anyone who has a disability or illness that may make it hard to communicate with the police in an emergency or difficult situation. 
  • Anyone who lives in the local area. Please make sure that you contact your local police force

Please note registration is free. 

How it works

We’ll register your personal details, including your phone number, on our police systems so that anytime you call our control room they’ll instantly see a Pegasus marker attached to your name or number.

  • This marker is opened by the call handler who can then see all your communication needs. This means that we can access your details even if you can’t talk to us.
  • Alternatively, you can say ‘Pegasus’, tell us your PIN and we’ll access your details right away.
  • You can also show your card to a police officer, member of police staff or other emergency services staff if you need assistance in person and they’ll know you may need extra help and support.
  • You can change or update your details at any time.
  • If you agree, we’ll share your Pegasus information with other participating emergency services (fire, ambulance) and local authorities.

Pegasus terms and conditions

  • Your information will be stored on a secure database owned by the police.
  • Access to the database is controlled, but we may share your details with our partners, such as other emergency services, so they can help you.
  • If you’re under 18 you must have your parent or guardian’s consent.
  • Once a year we’ll write to you to check the information.

Please note that applications may take up to four weeks to process.

For more information on the scheme, or to register, visit the dedicated section on our website. Alternatively, email pegasus@cambs.police.uk.
