Fenland Fuel Thefts

11:08 Wednesday 12th January 2011 BBC Radio Cambridgeshire

ANDY HARPER: Now on our Cambridge Breakfast Programme this morning you will have heard once again stories about the theft of central heating fuel. It was rife before Christmas, when it was rocketing in price, and also of course very difficult to get hold of. I have to say that suddenly it has become very available. Our syndicate put in last Thursday for some, and by Monday it had been delivered. Sio not much of a shortage there, I think it’s fair to say, but the price, well, that’s another matter. Well as we say, there are quite a few incidents of the theft of this stuff from people’s properties, and our reporter Johnnie Dee has been out looking for somebody who maybe has suffered. And I think you’ve found an unfortunate person in Tick Fen John. Good morning once again. Continue reading “Fenland Fuel Thefts”

CAROL CARMAN: A new scheme has been started up in Cambridgeshire. Now this is recycling paint, but that’s nothing new. Across the country paint has been recycled The new element to this is that the cans whether plastic or tin can then go on and be recycled, which is saving an awful lot of paint cans from going into landfill.
