Early Days Forthcoming Peterborough Elections

Peterborough is different to Fenland – it is a city with a diverse population, its politics change from election to election, both at national and local levels.

That said, I dare say many Fenland Councillors will be watching with interest, as I will also.
My plans are not yet decided, I would very much like to carry on my ‘Community Work’.

Deliver small but significant projects each election
(Picnic Benches, Fishing Platforms and The Platinum Wood Project) –

However age and health come into play – wait and see….
‘Who upsets me’ may make me change my intentions?

You Just Don’t Know Who Your Neighbour Is – These Days

A gang has been jailed for a total of 12 years for their part in exporting books to Australia with cocaine hidden inside.
Three men have been sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court after consignments of the Class A drug were dispatched from several sites across Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.

Mr. Troy Batchelor was a neighbour of ours and did work for many residents locally – carpentry, double glazing, and general building work – he always did a good job at a resonable price – but you never know !!!!

Troy Batchelor, 49, of Peterborough Road, Whittlesey, and Luke Mills, 46, of Lincoln Road, Peterborough both admitted evading the prohibition on exportation of cocaine.

James Kulesza, 46, of Warwick Road, Peterborough, pleaded guilty to participating in the criminal activities of an organised crime group.

On Friday, Batchelor was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment, while Mills received four years. Kulesza was ordered to serve two years and one month.

Environment Agency – Permit Water Discharge @ Saxon – Pit Part 1

A very long time in coming, and much work done by just a few individuals lobbying for the benifit of all affected nearby residents.
From my reading, there appears now to be a reasonable robust system in place as far as testing, monitoring, and enforcement (if needed). However Saxongate have issued their own questions and views (below).
Warning, the document attached here will take at least 20 minutes to read and absorb.
Part 2 Coming next will be the actual EA Newsletter…also 20 minutes to read.

Web Stats All Very Good – Thank You.

I’ve run this web-blog for nearly 15 years, and it does cost me money/yearly.
But I consider it my duty to keep especially the residents and electorate in my area Whittlesey South informed.

I could of course place adverts and try and recoup some costs, but I will not be doing that.
Thank you for visiting and your support.
RG.

Rural Officers Stop Car In Whittlesey

Rural Officers stop car previously linked to hare coursing.


We stopped this car in Briggate West in Whittlesey over the weekend due to information that it had previously been used in hare coursing.

The seven occupants were left finding alternative transport after the car was seized and the driver was reported for:

🚗No insurance

🚗No licence

🚗Carrying passengers in manner likely to cause injury

Hare coursing remains a priority for us, and we will continue to address the issue by targeting offenders and working with our rural communities.
If you believe hare coursing is taking place, always call 999.

Or you can report your concerns to us here
