Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

I am sorry that Mr Colin Martin has pulled out of the contest for Bi-Election Lattersey Ward Whittlesey on September 10th.
I wish him and his wife well.

Our best wishes.

It has been one month since your local neighbourhood team set their new quarterly priorities:

• Addressing persistent vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and criminality in and around March, Whittlesey, Chatteris town centres
• Disrupting drug activity and safeguarding vulnerable individuals
• Reduce anti-social behaviour within March town centre, specifically associated with homelessness, rough sleeping, drug and alcohol misuse and other low-level offending

If you have something you wish to discuss with your local officers, or if you just want to hear about the work we are doing, then come along to one of our upcoming community meetings:

• Chatteris Library, from 1pm until 2pm, on Friday, 14 August
• March Library, from 10am until 11am, on Saturday, 22 August
• Whittlesey Library, from 12pm until 1pm, on Saturday, 22 August

You can find out more about your local neighbourhood team over on our website

This is just a small part of our work to tackle machinery theft and associated criminal activity.

If you own any machinery, you can help protect it by:

🚜 Securing your property by using trackers, alarms, or an immobiliser

🚜 Removing any keys whilst the machinery is unattended

🚜 Mark your property to make it identifiable if it is ever recovered

More advice can be found here.

Stolen machinery can often be a pre-cursor to criminality such as ATM ram raids.

We urge everyone to stay vigilant, and report any suspicious behaviour to us on 999 or online

Lots of those of Social Media – quick to continually criticise – and have ALL the answers to everything….So now is your opportunity to put things right in our town.
I don’t care what platform you are standing on, as long as it is good for our community.
Can YOU deliver….that’s the question.

My Web-Blog Header – 15+ years ‘Community Activist’ was then, is today and hopefully will be tomorrow.

Applications to register in by 24th August – need help – I can give it to YOU.

We have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with an attempted burglary. 

The attempted break-in took place at a house in King’s Dyke, near Whittlesey, at about 4.20pm on 10 July.

Nothing was stolen. 

Anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV images or has information should use reference 35/52242/26 and report it through the force website:

Anyone without internet access should call 101.

Important: Please complete the Saxon Pit Community Health Impact Assessment (CHIA) Survey

As many residents will know, Cambridgeshire County Council’s Public Health team is carrying out a Community Health Impact Assessment (CHIA) relating to Saxon Pit and the surrounding area.

As part of that work, an independent community survey has been launched and we would encourage everyone who lives within the study area to take part.

Whether your experience has been positive, negative or mixed, please answer the questions honestly and factually. The survey is an opportunity for residents’ experiences to form part of the assessment. Please pass this message on and inform others so we get a strong representative response.

The survey closes on Sunday 23 August.

Residents who are willing to take part in a follow up interview on Wednesday 19 August should register their interest by completing the survey no later than Wednesday 12 August.

The survey can be completed online at  https://tinyurl.com/SaxonPit  or you can request to do it by telephone – on 07542 016586.

The survey takes approximately 12-15 minutes to complete

Saxongate continues to engage with the relevant authorities on a number of issues relating to the site and we will provide further updates as that work progresses. In the meantime, we believe it is important that as many residents as possible take the opportunity to complete the survey.

If you have any questions for Saxongate Residents Group, or would like to join our mailing list to receive future updates on our work, please email us at saxongate2022@gmail.com
