Installation of jetty for The Chisholm Trail

Installation of the Chisholm Trail jetty is now scheduled to take place from 13th to 26th August 2020.

The jetty, which connects the footpath between Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows, will be installed from 13th August. It is expected to reopen this autumn to enable people to walk and cycle across the common. It marks an important step in the Chisholm Trail – a joint project between the Greater Cambridge Partnership and Cambridgeshire County Council to deliver a new first-class walking and cycling route across the city.

Tarmac will be undertaking the construction on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council and the Greater Cambridge Partnership.

Please note that during this period there will also be some disruption on Fen Road. Most of the work is planned to be carried out during the day, however there will be two occurrences of night working. Further detail is shown in the table below:

On Friday 31st July it is planned that the works at the new Dutch style roundabout at Fendon Road/Queen Edith’s Way, Cambridge will be completed.

This is the first of its kind in the UK and the design is such that it has priority crossings for cyclists and pedestrians at each arm of the roundabout.

The video link above demonstrates the principles behind the junction from the perspective of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Are You Shopping Online?

Dear Subscriber, Have you bought anything online recently?… Almost 34% of all retail sales during May 2020 were carried out online, and new research suggests that only 16% of UK consumers intend to return to their old shopping habits post-lockdown. Online shopping fraud during lockdown Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cyber crime, received over 16,000 reports relating to online shopping and auction fraud during the lockdown, with losses totalling over £16m. Members of the public have reported buying mobile phones (19%), vehicles (22%), electronics (10%) such as games consoles, AirPods and MacBooks , and footwear (4%) on sites such as eBay (18%), Facebook (18%), Gumtree (10%) and Depop (6%), only to have the items never arrive.  Top tips for shopping online securely: Choosing where to shop: If you’re making a purchase from a company or seller you don’t know and trust, carry out some research first. For example, by checking to see if others have used the site and what their experience was. Email accounts: Use a strong, separate password for your email account. Criminals can use  your email to access other online accounts, such as those you use for online shopping. Scam messages: Some of the emails or texts you receive about amazing offers may contain links to fake websites. Not all links are bad, but if you’re unsure don’t use the link, go separately to the website. And remember, if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.  Payment method: If you decide to go ahead with the purchase, use a credit card if you have one as other payment providers may not provide the same protection. What to do if you’ve fallen victim to online shopping fraud We all make mistakes and these days the scams can be incredibly convincing. If you think you’ve visited, or made a purchase on, a bogus website, you should first, take a note of the website’s address, then close down your internet browser. You should then report the details to Action Fraud and contact your bank to seek advice. Whether you’ve been a victim of fraud will depend on how much information you’ve provided to the website, so keep an eye on your bank transactions, if you can. Contact your bank immediately about anything that you don’t recognise, even small amounts.

CRIME AND ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR – HAVE YOUR SAY!

Willingham Parish Council have been asked to share this questionnaire by the South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership (CSP).

CSP is made up of representatives from South Cambs District Council,  Cambridgeshire County Council, Police, Fire and Rescue Service and the NHS and Probation Service, who are working together to deal with local crime and anti-social behaviour issues. 

CSP have produced a survey to collate responses from residents of Willingham, and other areas, to help the communities feel safer in the areas in which they live.

This survey is extremely important in the current climate where the Covid-19 pandemic prevents face to face community engagement. The results of this survey will directly affect the way in which community safety in certain geographical locations is prioritised among the statutory bodies within the South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership. 

The survey will close on Sunday 26^th July 2020.
