The question for educators and academics is ‘why’ Fenland is 14th from the bottom of GCSE 2026 results, naturally individual schools scored differently, this is the national table.
Fenland @ 10.7% vis Cambridge 53.5%
I have not noticed any great drop in water pressure.
Thanks for your patience – we’re happy to say that your water supply should now be returning to normal.
In the next few hours, you might see us out and about doing some final checks. As part of those checks we might knock on your door and ask to take a water sample from your kitchen tap.
If you had no water from your taps for more than 12 hours in a row, we’ll be in touch within the next 20 working days. Read more here about your right to compensation under our Guaranteed Service Standards.
Cloudy water?
Cloudy water is something that can happen after an interruption to your supply, but it’s just air in the water. It’s completely safe to drink and will soon clear.
Discoloured water can also occur following a burst water main, caused by iron sediments which are stirred up. Rest assured, the small amount of iron in the water isn’t harmful, and the discolouration will clear after you run your tap.
Without prejudice.
As an Independent Whittlesey District Councillor, I am part of Fenlands Planning Committee. I took no part in the decision made by Fenland District Council in respect of this planning decision.
The decision to refuse the application was made by ‘Delegated Powers’ by FDCs Planning Officers.
The applicant is appealing ‘against’ the decision to refuse 200 houses on March Road Coates.
The Planning Inspectorate will be holding sessions over 8 days.
Yesterdays was held on ‘Teams’ platform and broadcast on YouTube©

As the country recovers from its fifth heatwave so far this year, Anglian Water is asking its customers in Fenland to protect water supplies and precious local rivers by only using water for essential purposes.
The water company has warned that without cutting individual consumption as much as possible, there is a risk that customers’ supplies will be affected after a spring and summer of successive heatwaves and exceptionally dry conditions.
The flows in the Rivers Nar and Wissey, which Anglian Water relies on to keep taps flowing across Fenland as well as King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, are at an exceptionally low level – some of the lowest seen at this time of year since records began.

My one man Litter-Pick earlier this week along the A605 & Ralph Butcher Causeway…
Report something I’ve never found before….who the hell throws this out of their car window….!!!!!
I wonder if it was +ve or -ve !!!
With so many concerns over the amount of advertising hoardings on the Dog-In-a-Doublet
Bridge, I/we ascertained that it comes under Peterborough Unitary Authority, I contacted them, however No Resources or Costings….I then contacted the PUA Local Councillor and within a week the hoarding had been taken down.
I dare say it won’t be long until some more arrive…
Somewhat disappointed that –
I being one of the sponsors of the Whittlesey Fire Brigade Open Day,
that they too had left their banner in place here and other places…..disappointed !!!!
A very cleaned up Bridge – For How Long !!!!!
My thanks Mr Smith for contacting me back and say – Thank you Roy…..
Concerned residents contacted WTC and myself over worries of cutting down 2 trees on the Bower side of the field.
I reported a fallen branch last week, thinking the trees may have been ‘stressed’ due to the weather….however when inspected…
Following an inspection as it was found to have a significant amount of fungal decay at its base. This can be seen in the photograph you provided.
As the tree was multi-stemmed, there was a substantial risk of structural failure. Due to the level of risk this posed within the public open space, the decision was made to fell the tree in the interests of public safety. This work has been carried out by one of registered tree contractors earlier this week. Sorry this was all completed quite quickly as one limb had already fallen so we wanted to prevent any further issues.
Today – All gone, I will ask whether they will be replaced.
CDC Building Control attended the building this afternoon as one of the windows had become unsafe. CNC provides the building control functions for the Local Authority areas of South Norfolk, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Fenland, Norwich City and Broadland.
I spoke with the supervisor and asked who would be paying for this work…
(3 workmen + 1 Telehandler – the Telehandler had been driven from Kings Lynn !!!!! and had to return –
The answer was…the owner of the building – to which he replied – Good Luck…..!!!!!

Officers have also been carrying out speed checks at locations where speeding has been reported, including Ramsey Road in Whittlesey, Coates Road in Coates and Station Road in Manea.
Parking issues and speeding remain among the concerns you most frequently report to us. We will continue to carry out enforcement and engagement activity where possible to help address these issues.
