West Street Closed in Comberton

/in Urgent /by Andrew Martin

You may have seen the “Road Ahead Closed” at the junction of A603 and B1046 (Cambridge Road and New Road). This is in relation to Cambridge Water works on West Street in Comberton. These works should be finished 29th/30th October. We have asked that the “Businesses Open As Usual” signs be put up alongside the “Road Ahead Closed” sign as road users may think the sign relates to Greenways work in the village.

Dispersal Order for Potential Car Meet

/in Urgent /by Andrew Martin

We are aware of a potential car meet being organised in Cambridgeshire this weekend.

We are reminding anyone thinking about taking part, that a zero-tolerance approach is taken towards illegal and unauthorised car meets.

Anyone taking part in a car meet without landowner permission, could be prosecuted or have their vehicle seized.

Car cruising can often attract large numbers of people and causes noise for residents and anti-social behaviour issues.

A dispersal order is in place this weekend in a bid to reduce crime and disorder and gives officers powers to move anyone believed to be behaving anti-socially from the area.

Kind Regards,

Inspector Craig Flavell
