Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

About 60 or so of us, attended this mornings fund raising coffee morning, nice cakes and savouries – around 30 draw ticket prices with (3) star prizes – with I am happy to say was one which I donated – a meal for 4 at our local ‘Visuvio’s’ restaurant.
A good morning with live music – well done again.

Our ‘wonderful ‘Whittlesey Festival’ Group, will be having a Coffee morning @ Sadie’s tomorrow Saturday – raising funds for the event itself – I ‘hear’ there are ‘3’ Star prizes in the raffle – maybe a cruise you never know – ?

Do you have a concern you would like to talk to your neighbourhood officers about? Or perhaps you would like to hear about the work we have been doing?
If you answered yes to the above, then come along to our community meeting!

The details are:

📍 Whittlesey Library

⏰ From 2pm until 3pm

🗓️ Friday, 12 June

If you are unable to make it, you can keep an eye out on here or our website for upcoming events.

Boy did it kick off last night, with the signage being spotted at the ‘Ivy Leaf’ about car parking and ANPR….I received several e-mails…and replied to all by 07:00 this morning.
Yes the place is becoming an eyesore.
It mistakenly is not in my council ward, but as always like to know what’s happening.

I am aware of at least 3 local builders who have shown interest in the site but have walked away because of the financial ownership.

Both I and Cllr.  Singh are not your ward councillors if you live on Gracious Street.
Whitmoor Street is in our division.

The Ivy Leaf is located on Orchard Street is this also is not our division either at Whittlesey Town or Fenland District Council.

Your councillors are :-
Cllr Dee Laws
Cllr Alec Branton
Cllr Alex Miscandlon

I have copied them in on this e-mail and am quite sure one of the will respond maybe with more information than I have.

I will go today and take photographs, I regularly litter pick both Gracious Street and Orchard Street and will work with my fellow councillors on these concerns.

A landowner can install whatever they want in respect of parking controls – they may need planning permission or consent.
I could see NO ANPR (automatic number place recognition) in place.

Today (05th June Ivy Leaf)

Make you own mind up with H&S…..

The official opening this morning – ribbon cut by ex mayor/councillor Kay Mayor.
Nice light shop on Queen Street  – well done…….

Many congratulations to Nicola and her team on the official opening of The Newheart Learning Centre – Station Road.
Lot of attendee’s including myself and several other councillors.
Official photo’s and press release will follow.

3 weeks the illegal non compliant scaffolding at Barr Street, no one ran into it or knocked it down?
Today the new scaffolding was put up at around 09:00 and by 09:40 an unfortunate lady, was trying to negotiate the lorry parked on the corner of Barr Street/Market Street, when she encountered another car coming at speed at her.

In order to get out of the way, she collided with said truck and damage 3 panels on the near side…..7 year old car – sorry not worth the repair.
She spoke with the scaffolding guys who were quite civil, but denied any responsibility.

The new fully compliant scaffolding erected today Thursday 04th June.

Yesterday the ‘Caravan’ had been removed after yet another enforcement notice had been placed on it – I understand that last night there was ‘someone’ there, attempting to start the car – I’ll have a look later today –
