Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Please be aware of the change of venue for this meeting.

RICHARD YOUNG SUITE, BOATHOUSE
BUSINESS CENTRE, WISBECH, PE13 3BH

Given the recent decision by FDC to designate The Three Horseshoes pub as an Asset of
Community Value (ACV), and further to our telephone conversation just now, it appears
pertinent to delay determination of the above application to allow the ACV process to continue.
As such, I would recommend that we delay this application until the next appropriate Planning Committee meeting on 26 June 2024. With an EOT until 3 July 2024 to allow for any decision to be finalised post meeting

Now celebrating well over 4,000,000 Hits on this Web-blog – I am the only Councillor who posts regularly, Council / Community events, agenda’s, concerns, reports and issues.

On a cold afternoon, some 11 like-minded volunteers spent nearly 2 hours clearing and tidying around trees and perimeter area of the Whittlesey Town Council QEII Platinum Jubilee Wood.
Mainly hand tools and a small electric mower. We have left 90% of the wild groath to self seed.
There will be a larger area cleared for a bio-diversity program later on.
We will be installing a Bee Hive, this will be hiden away.
There will be a community herb garden – public will be able to help them-selves.

If you would like to help on an ad-hoc basis – no committment – contact me…..

Our ‘anti-social behaviour’ is no different to any other area, however if issues are reported to the Police of Local Authority (Fenland District Council) resources will be given to tackle these issues.

Yesterday afternoon, we were alerted by CCTV operators of a motorbike riding round West End Park in March.
We headed over to the location and were able to locate the bike and the rider. The bike has been seized and the driver reported after checks found that it was being driven without a licence or insurance.

Anti-social vehicle use is an issue that our neighbourhood teams are continually tackling, but it isn’t possible without your help!

Today I and several other Councillors (Mayor, Cllr Mrs Mayor, Cllr Elisabeth Sennitt Clough, Cllr Eamonn Dorling) joined organisers and sponsors Cllr Barry Wainwright and Cllr Bob Wicks for the comemoration of  the 80th anniverary of a Avro Lancaster Bomber which crashed in a field near Eastrea.

About 30 others – many from the village joined the service.

Photo, Mr Brian Browm who as a young boy didn’t actually see the aircraft crash but saw the fireball and was close by shortly afterwards.
