This event is for ‘Contractors/Electrical/Carpenters/Tradesmen to meet the construction Team – It is not meant for the genral public….
A ‘meet the buyer’ event will help provide a clear view of an exciting leisure centre revamp.
Working in partnership with Fenland District Council and Alliance Leisure, Curo Construction is delivering :-
a full redevelopment and expansion of the Manor Leisure Centre in Whittlesey.
This will transform the existing leisure centre into a more accessible, efficient and future-ready environment, built to serve the community from day one.
Curo Construction is hosting a meet the buyer event for local sub-contractors and suppliers. The event will provide information on the project and how to get involved, including:
• An overview of the scope, key packages and programme
• Procurement routes and upcoming opportunities
• Expectations around quality, safety and delivery
“Looking to be part of the project? This is your opportunity to get involved,” a district council spokesperson said.
The event will be held next Wednesday, April 29, from 12,30-2.30pm at the soft play area inside Whittlesey’s Manor Leisure Centre.
Only 4 of us in attendance, (Cllr Laws apologies)
3 Members of the public.
Mr Robert Windle exhibited a ‘promo’ display which was very colourful and effective,
not that expensive.
Main items being debated – the cost of the Hanging Baskets (70 in total) (mainly the watering contract). This years will go ahead, however it was put that with the costs becoming challenging (looking at sponsorship) – that put to full Council that there is a reduction in number of Baskets for 2027.
The High Causeway Local Highways Improvement (LHI) to have rising bollards installed is after many years of trying a No Go….because Cambs CC will not support the program.
There will be no meeting in May.
I attended as a member of the public, as I am a member of Fenland District Councils Planning Committee and take no part in WTC Planning meetings.
10 members of the public attended, including representative from the Saxongate Residents Group.
Mr Stephen Hodson spoke on the Health League Tables putting Fenland quite low down.
Mr Robert Windle, requested that the Public Forum should have taken place after Mr Rices’ presentation on the Saxon Eastern Buttress update.
Mr Stephen Rice gave a short presentation on the challenges of wet weather causing delays in the works at the Eastern Buttress works, he said that the operator hoped that the work would be conpleted within the next 12 month window.
Today I saw and spoke with two Environmental Agency Officers, installing a constant monitoring device (water quality) by the Bower/Briggate Bridge today.
It remains in place monitoring 24/7 – they couldn’t tell me how long it would remain in place.
Mr. Stephen Rice Update on the progress of Eastern buttressing works at Saxon Pit.
The meeting is open to all members of the public to attend.
There is a public forum of 15 minutes in total, however the general public will not be able to ask Mr Rice any questions during his presentation, if you have any question(s), you should contact one of the councillors who are on the WTC Planning Committee……

After several members of the public contacted me and have themselves tried to report the potential safety issues of these works, I have contacted several departments at FDC and CCC that these issues maybe addressed.
This morning I saw our Street-Scene officer taking photo’s and he also has made reports.
I did stop and talk with the contractor doing some minor work on the building,
his remit was to remove all satellite dishes and associated cabling.
He was filling in some small hole and was only there for part of the day.
