A Step Forward In Saving Our Local Heritage

I was a member and treasurer of the Whittlesey Mud Walls Group, until the numbers dwindled to just 5 of us, we handed the project back to The Whittlesey Society.

We Shut Down Our Clothing Recycling….

More complaints….where have the clothing recycling containers gone…!!!

Gone, gone and gone….sorry to say, – why you may ask….well there is just to much clothing being donated and the price has dropped like a stone, and therefor has become uneconomical…..can only happen here….

Meanwhile, developing countries are more than willing and happy for donations….

Normally we send containers of rubbish, plastics and nasty chemicals to the Far Eastern Countries under doggy manifests…..

Fortunately they have ‘clocked’ this doggy dealings and some have been sent back ….

Pothole(s) – Some Attempt To Fix 1 or 2….


Sorry to say looks a pretty poor job to me……


Thanks to RB @ Eastrea.

I and many other Councillors agree that Cambs Highways has been unfit for purpose for many years and runs a dysfunctional department.
It is our County Councillors who engage primarily with CCC Highways.

I can well understand the publics anger at what looks like to be sub standard repairs.
Stop blaming the weather, the ice, the snow….get out of your Glass Palace(s) and see what is going on in the real world.

The Romans had potholes, the US had massive potholes during the Stagecoach era,
and many suffered permanant bone and skeletal issues.

Flood Warning No Longer In Force

More rain coming so don’t expect it will last for long….

North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice. 
The situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area.  
Flood warnings and alerts may still be in force for surrounding areas. 
The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.

Near Impossible To Fix All Our Roads, Says Leader

Report a highways fault – Click Here to Cambs CC Highways

A council leader has admitted it would be “pretty much impossible” as it stands to get all of a county’s roads into good condition, in the face of an £800m maintenance backlog.

Cambridgeshire County Council’s network includes “soil-affected” roads – built on peat – that have buckled, which the authority has claimed can cost four times as much to repair as standard ones.

The council has proposed spending £58m on planned highways maintenance in 2026-27 – 7.25% of the backlog.
Speaking ahead of the budget being discussed at a full council meeting on Tuesday, the Liberal Democrat leader Lucy Nethsingha acknowledged “it’s not an acceptable position for residents of Cambridgeshire”.

So How Come Cambridge Gets Bollards and We Don’t

For more years than I can count (at least 12), ‘we’ have been trying to make safe and secure
High Causeway in Whittlesey, after (at least 12 years) we put our final case to Cambs CC Highways for a LHI (local highways improvement) on ‘Safety Concerns’ – As good as rejected, even though there was and is a strong case….so how come Cambridge gets….
I don’t know…

Parking bays could be removed and bollards restricting through-traffic installed on Sidgwick Avenue in Cambridge to help improve safety.
The move would provide more space for pedestrians and wheelchair users and make the road safer for cyclists.
Currently more than 70 per cent of people using Sidgwick Avenue walk or wheel but around 250 pedestrians or wheelchair users are being forced off the path and out into the road on average each day.
