My apologies -quality of conversion and editing didn’t go well this month.
Why is nothing ever simple – especially here in Whittlesey, having sent over 15 e-mails, to various people/departments and managers at both FDC and CCC, 5 phone calls – It took an e-mail to the Chief Executive at Cambs CCC from Whittlesey Town Council before I received any meaningful response.
Thursday, I by chance happened to see meet with a Mr. George Hay (Enforcement Officer – Highways CCC) who informed me he had been on the case for a couple of weeks !!!!!
After an hour of exchange of the issues and extremely poor communications from Cambs CC, he informed me, that ‘It was complicated’ (Health & Safety – No Permit – No Permission – No Licence !!!!) – Why – because the builders – roofers are from the ‘Travelling Community (Ramsey) and as such have to be dealt with slightly differently…….
I’ve told it as it is…..no more, no less…...
Today on passing I saw what appeared to be someone at the site – I couldn’t stop because of traffic…… Again I am on the case…..hours and hours…..
Thank you to several who came in to say ‘hello’ how are you Roy……
Brenda, Averil and special guest COTY Mark Cross, Nick, Bill and Sandra,
So quite an eventful morning without I might add too many complaints…and a few compliaments….a nice change thank you.
All morning until 1pm I’ll be ‘manning’ the Town Council Ofice….
At last nights full town council meeting, Cllr Dee Laws announced that the :
Citizen of the year goes to : Mark Cross.
Young Citizen of the year was : Finlay Watson.
The Mayor for the coming year was elected Cllr Alex Miscandlon with no other nominations.
Cllr Dianna Dickinson was nominated along with Cllr Barry Wainwright.
Cllr Dickinson 5 votes, Cllr Wainwright 4 votes.
2nd up, after Cllr Barry Wainwrights broadcast last week – Only (3) Councillors so far accepted the invitation.
After many months of trying to help residents of Aliwal Road/Bank Close.
(no other councillor has offered or been involved).
Police (no action), Street Scene @ Fenland District been very active and very helpful.
The ‘problem/issue’ with the car/camper ‘appears’ to have gone away….
But where I wonder…. as in many cases, the problem just moves somewhere else…..
Having contacted (again) the head of environment services and cleansing took time but he has investigated and stated the the ‘moneybox and locking system’ was faulty and they were awaiting an engineer to attend.

It is very unfortunate that our (and other towns) public toilets are subjected to mindless vandalism. I have lost count how many time this has happened here in Whittlesey, at I might add a lot (I mean a lot) of expense to you and I the rate-payer.
I am as you would expect – on the case…..
(picture taken today)
Pleased that the ‘usual attendee’s’ were present, we covered a vast aray of events and engagements coming to Whittlesey in the next few months.
Naturally all will be advertised as the events/programs nearer the time.
Another very welcome addition to our town, for the installation of a ‘Bleed Kit & De-Fib Unit’ @ The Nationwide (subject to permission being granted by FDC).
