News from E-Cops (24/4/2012) Full article on “E-Cops Page”
This morning saw one of the constabulary’s largest ever drugs operations, codenamed Operation Vanguard. Eighteen dawn raids at properties in areas including Sutton, Waterbeach, St Ives, Burwell, Needingworth, Cottenham, Fulbourn, Huntingdon, Milton and Cambridge resulted in 18 arrests. This was the culmination of a long-term investigation into the large scale supply of class A drugs in Cambridgeshire, mainly high purity cocaine.

New threat to Rampton – Ely Bus Service (posted 28 Feb)
An e-mail has been received from David Jenkins, County Councillor, in which he says that the 106 bus from Rampton to Ely is under threat. There is an epetition to sign, and so please do send this to as many people as you know in the village with email, so that we can support this and attempt to keep the bus service.
- the papers are out regarding the scrapping of bus subsidies ( http://bit.ly/A2UQzW); this will be addressed at cabinet next week (Tuesday at 1000 in Wisbech; ironically it’ll be difficult to get thereby bus). We have 2 buses underthreat: the 110 Freedom Bus, which is now showing as needing a very modest subsidy of below ?2000/year, and the regular 106 service from Rampton to Ely. There is an ePetition at http://bit.ly/yosYj8 and it would be very useful if as many people as
possible could support it.
