"The New Year has started as the old one finished, with snow covered fields, transport infrastructure severely tested and the novelty of a White Christmas wearing thin. However, it was extremely pleasing to see instances of Community spirit as we all dealt with the inclement weather, whether it be getting essential shopping for those members of our community less fortunate or able, or, in the case of Cottered, opening the village hall as a refuge for those travellers stranded in the snow overnight on the 17th December. My sincere thanks to those of you who contributed and minimised the additional workload for the staff at Buntingford. 

2009 saw the team maintain its momentum in reducing crime. Indeed, Buntingford and its surrounding areas are currently showing the largest percentage drop in recorded crime in the county, currently standing at 22.4% from 1st April to date. That equates to 98 fewer victims of criminality."
