Residents are being urged to use a web chat service for all non-emergency contact with Cambridgeshire Constabulary to help reduce pressure on call handlers.
In a recent poll, 35 per cent of people said they didn’t know about the force’s web chat function, which is available 24/7 and allows the public to quickly and easily report crimes and intelligence.

Mr Darnes said Cllr Balsevics must have seen people not adhering to Covid rules and that he committed “many breaches himself, such as not washing hands and not wearing a face covering”.
