The area is being promoted for some of the funding for projects from the £250K
being alocated to Whittlesey, as said previously, the decision on where the funding goes will be FDC Cabinet recommendation to FDC full council.
The play equipment at Station Road was badly vandalised on several occasions, the last being just after many £1000’s was spent…..maybe another go….!!!!!

Press release - Whittlesey Volunteer Fare
GhostRiders@Volunteering.
We would like to remind you of our next set of Voluntary Group Networking Meetings for March, Whittlesey, Wisbech and Chatteris.
We have already had a great response, but just in case you were coming along, and had forgotten to tell us, we thought we would send a gentle reminder. As you know, these meetings are a great way for local organisations to get together and network, (large and small), giving an opportunity to share successes and challenges, to talk about good practise and to share all ideas about those important matters such as funding and volunteering! You are welcome to attend the ones you feel more relevant to you and your organisation, or indeed to attend all.
The Whittlesey meeting will be at the Whittlesey Library on the 5th March, 10am to 12pm Our speaker for this meeting will be a representative (s) from The National Lottery, and there will be an opportunity for questions and more of an insight into their work including how the Lottery are keen to fund projects in our area.

The current priorities for our March neighbourhood teams are:
1️⃣Tackling vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in March, Whittlesey, and Chatteris town centres
2️⃣Proactive targeting of known drug dealing and drug use hotspots within March, Whittlesey, and Chatteris town centres, with a focus on disrupting criminal networks and safeguarding young people at risk of exploitation
3️⃣Provide a visible policing presence in town centres and other public spaces to offer community reassurance and address safety concerns.
Do you have something you would like to raise in relation to these priorities?
Or perhaps hear about the work we are doing in your area?
Then come and meet your local neighbourhood officers at our upcoming community meetings:
👮March Library, from 11am until 12pm, on Friday, 13 March
👮Chatteris Library, from 1pm until 2pm, on Friday, 13 March

Unfortunatly I am unable to attend todays meeting, however I am pleased to have ‘sponsored’ the Free Bus taking some 30 or so residents and a Councillor or maybe two
for the meeting today.
With CCC ‘Planning Officers’ recommending to approve the application, stating there will be conditions to protect the residents and environment…..
Sorry CCC – this has only worked so far with some very limited and recent contacts and updates – good news in some respect.
Please take 2 minutes and read the latest below.
