Yesterday I saw our resident Bower Swans with six cygnets.
Maybe not quite on our doorstep but what may have been thought a turn around for the conservatives fell a bit short ….

Further to my posts Wednesday and yesterday.
I have made further enquiries and this is the latest….
“Unplanned switch of construction partner – this has added time to the
RIBA Stage 4 pre-construction work. It means we will be at Cabinet on 14th September.
New builder construction estimate due in the next couple of weeks, with a contractual cost in August to plug into the Cabinet report”
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:

We always say that no two days are ever the same in the world of policing, and that is certainly true for our response officers.
Here is what they got up to in Fenland over a 24-hour period…
The day started off with one of their first calls being reports of a break in at a landfill site in March after staff had been alerted to someone on the property through CCTV. Officers attended and did a search of the area, but there was no one hiding and no offences identified.
They were also called to a collision between two cars and a van on the A47 between Wisbech and Guyhirn. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and there were delays in the area whilst the vehicles were recovered.
Later, they were called to Norfolk Street in Wisbech due to reports of a woman assaulting members of the public who were passing by. The 44-year-old woman ended up being arrested as she was showing as wanted on our systems!
Other calls they responded to included:
The final call of the day for our officers was reports of violence in North End, Wisbech. They attended and spoke to both individuals involved before taking the female home.

After yesterdays fantastic news that full planning permission was granted for the project.
The next stage will be – it will go before FDC’s Cabinet, who will have more details of what the final costings will be, it will for them to decide a recommendation whether to proceed or to call a halt to the project.
‘If’ the Cabinet decide to proceed – it then goes before the full FDC Council (those who attend in person) for them to either accept or decline the Cabinets recommendation.

A few ‘stakeholders’ attended last evenings ‘Teams’ meeting, updates from our Library,
The Whittlesey Festival and Phoenix Youth Provision in their quest for new premises possibly at The Scaldgate Centre…..
After many many months of ‘planning, consultations, and amendments’ – today was the crucial decision making at Fenland District Council to ‘Approve’ the plans put in front of the Planning Committee.
Cllr & Mayor of Whittlesey Alex Miscandlon, gave an excellent short talk on behalf of Whittlesey Town Council of the positive benefits the project will bring to the area around Whittlesey.
I too in the debate highlighted the ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity for this project to move forward.
I proposed the application, and it was a unanimous decision by the Planning Committee to ‘Approve’ the application.
You can watch the planning process being debated on FDC’s YouTube Channel from 51 minutes into the meeting.
Full planning application for the upgrading/refurbishment of the Manor Leisure Centre will be taking place at FDC from 1pm.
This will be live streamed on FDC’s YouTube channel and will be available to watch later after the meeting.
The PPG is open to anyone who is a patient of The new Queen Street Surgery.
