The Policing PledgeTHE POLICE SERVICE IN ENGLAND AND WALES WILL SUPPORT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ANDPURSUE CRIMINALS RELENTLESSLY TO KEEP YOU AND YOUR
NEIGHBOURHOODS SAFE FROM HARM. WE WILL:
1. Always treat you fairly with dignity and respect ensuring you have fair access to our services at a time that is reasonable and suitable for you.
2. Provide you with information so you know who your dedicated Neighbourhood Policing Team is, where they are based, how to contact them and how to work with them.
3. Ensure your Neighbourhood Policing Team and other police patrols are visible and on your patch at times when they will be most effective and when you tell us you most need them. We will ensure your team are not taken away from neighbourhood business more than is absolutely necessary. They will spend at least 80% of their time visibly working in your neighbourhood, tackling your priorities. Staff turnover will be minimised.
4. Respond to every message directed to your Neighbourhood Policing Team within 24 hours and, where necessary, provide a more detailed response as soon as we can.
5. Aim to answer 999 calls within 10 seconds, deploying to emergencies immediately giving an estimated time of arrival, getting to you safely, and as quickly as possible. In urban areas, we will aim to get to you within 15 minutes and in rural areas within [20] minutes.
6. Answer all non-emergency calls promptly. If attendance is needed, send a patrol giving you an estimated time of arrival, and:• If you are vulnerable or upset aim to be with you within 60 minutes.• If you are calling about an issue that we have agreed with your community will be a
neighbourhood priority (listed below) and attendance is required, we will aim to be with you within 60 minutes.
• Alternatively, if appropriate, we will make an appointment to see you at a time that fits in with your life and within 48 hours.
• If agreed that attendance is not necessary we will give you advice, answer your questions and / or put you in touch with someone who can help.
7. Arrange regular public meetings to agree your priorities, at least once a month, giving you a chance to meet your local team with other members of your community. These will include opportunities such as surgeries, street briefings and mobile police station visits which will be arranged to meet local needs and requirements. Your local arrangements can be found below.
8. Provide monthly updates on progress, and on local crime and policing issues. This will include the provision of crime maps, information on specific crimes and what happened to those brought to justice, details of what action we and our partners are taking to make your neighbourhood safer and information on how your force is performing.
9. If you have been a victim of crime agree with you how often you would like to be kept informed of progress in your case and for how long. You have the right to be kept informed at least every month if you wish and for as long as is reasonable.
10. Acknowledge any dissatisfaction with the service you have received within 24 hours of reporting it to us. To help us fully resolve the matter, discuss with you how it will be handled, give you an opportunity to talk in person to someone about your concerns and agree with you what will be done about them and how quickly.
We want to do our best for you but if we fail to meet our Pledge we will always explain why it has not been possible on that occasion to deliver the high standards
to which we aspire and you deserve.

Burghley Horse Trials 2008 Published Date: 05 September 2008
NOT only is it one of the biggest sporting events the region has to offer, but it can also claim to be one of its social hotspots.
The Burghley Horse Trial three-day event is
well known for being a test of all-round horsemanship, and involves almost every activity of which the horse is capable.
The house is widely acknowledged to be the finest Elizabethan stately home in the country and provides the most spectacular backdrop for any horse trials in the world.
More than 145,000 people are expected to attend the show, which runs until Sunday.
Bretton Festival
Published Date: 21 July 2008
The Bretton Festival was bigger and better this year as hundreds of visitors flocked to enjoy its many attractions.
Revellers were spoilt for choice, and the
weather did not know what to do either, alternating between flash downpours and blazing sunshine.
The festival, which was held at Bretton Park was started at 1pm on Saturday (July 19), by Mayor of Peterborough Pat Nash.
Villagers get speed guns
Published Date: 04 September 2008 VILLAGERS will soon be bringing peace and
tranquility back to their rural retreats – with the help of hi-tech speed guns.
Speeding motorists ignoring the signs asking them to slow down as they approach havens such as Glinton and Barnack will soon have more to contend with when volunteers armed with the trapping devices take to the streets.
As revealed in The Evening Telegraph, the police-backed scheme Speedwatch is being launched in the city west area, as discussed at the Rural Open Police Panel Meeting at Sutton Village Church last night.
Cops on trail of mini-moto yobs
Published Date: 26 June 2008 POLICE in Peterborough have been using
specially-built trail bikes to catch nuisance riders on mini-motos and motorbikes.
Twenty minimotos and motorbikes that were being ridden illegally have been seized and crushed and their riders arrested in the last three months.
The new trail bikes make it easier for police to pursue bikes being illegally used on dirt tracks, small paths and underpasses, particularly in Bretton and Paston.
