Police Switchover to 101 Number |

 From Sunday (April 1), Cambridgeshire police can only be contacted on 101 for all non-emergency calls.
The old 0345 number will be switched off and a recorded message will tell people to call 101.
The old number has remained in use alongside 101 for the past year to allow people time to get used to the new number.
For the first time, everyone calling the police for non-emergency matters will know exactly how much it will cost them and it will be the same no matter what time of day or the duration of the call.
The number change is part of a national scheme to make 101 the single non-emergency number in England and Wales.
The change has been introduced so residents will have one, easy-to-remember way to contact local police, wherever they are.
The system has been designed to recognise where the caller is dialling from and connect them with the local police service.
If a caller does not want to speak to their local force they will be given the option to be connected to different one.
The number change does not affect the way that calls are handled and non-emergency calls will continue 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
People should continue to call 999 when an immediate response is needed, for example if a crime is happening, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, or someone is in danger.

Bus Subsidies - What you may like to know |

 From Cambridgshire County Council
Around 80 per cent of public transport in Cambridgeshire is run commercially with the remaining 20 per cent being subsidised by the County Council, at a cost of around £2.7 million per year. Work is already underway with operators to see if changes to routes and timetables could make some marginal subsidised journeys commercially viable and therefore reduce this financial commitment.
The Council has also reviewed the way subsidies are currently paid and has started a phased three year change programme. Over the next three years the Council will be transforming how these subsidised services are delivered, resulting in an annual investment of £1.5 million.
Before any subsidy is removed it is planned to carry out consultation to find out people's public transport needs. Everyone will be invited to contribute and work together to find the best and most cost effective way of meeting that need.
The results will vary across the County and one size will not fit all. Solutions may include local operators, smaller vehicles, links to commercial hubs, such as the Busway or Park and Ride as well as direct routes to certain destinations and flexible dial a ride type services. If there is enough demand it could lead to more travel opportunities, not less. If the best solution to deliver an essential service is to retain the current form of subsidy, then that will still be an option.
The new initiatives will be rolled out under the banner of Cambridgeshire Future Transport starting from April 2012. Subsidised services have been grouped into 13 geographical areas which have transport links within them and these areas will be reviewed in three tranches over the next three years. This is so that the services can be looked at as a whole and alternatives explored.
More information will be released and public engagement will be carried out as each phase of reducing the subsidy starts.
For more information contact Cambridgeshire County Council Passenger Transport Service. Dan Clarke on 01223 729079 or Paul Nelson on 01223 715608.

Local Burglaries - Report Suspicious Activity On-line |
|

For the first time you can report suspicious activity online.
The facility is part of Operation Twist, the crackdown on rural burglaries in Huntingdonshire and South Cambs.
People can report suspicious activity in the two districts through the force website or via email.
Offenders will often visit an area in the days leading up to a burglary to scope out potential targets. It's at this point that people are most likely to notice something unusual but may not think it is worth reporting. We want descriptions of these people and any vehicle details that may be linked to them.
We appreciate that not everyone may want to phone through with this type of information and hope the online facility will provide an effective way of doing this.
However if people suspect there is a burglary in process then they should always dial 999.
To report suspicious activity or information about burglary visit the 'Operation Twist' page of the force website - www.cambs.police.uk.
Or email -

Patrols continue to be increased in rural villages, as well as investigative and forensic work to target those responsible.
Anyone with information should use the online facility or call police on 101. Or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Kind regards
DI Ian Simmons
