I attended the Cabinet meeting (as an observer) and the full meeting of the council today.
The agenda’s for both were published earlier on this web-blog.
The Cabinet meeting was strait forward and sailed through the agenda’d items – good news being Fenlands has a fairly healthy financial position. (35 Minutes)
Full meeting (55 Minutes)

FDC Agenda frontsheet 15072024 1400 CabinetNot really sure who/how this consultation effects us in Fenland, as our CPE is advanced but stalled for various reasons (see below)
1/ CCC have not been helpful I understand.
2/ Costs have been escalating the longer the process takes (some years).

llegal on street parking across the four Fenland towns could remain a nightmare for years to come after Fenland Council announced a £500,000 funding gap has forced it to ‘pause’ the introduction of civil parking enforcement (CPE).

Today being the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, I thought I’d update with the latest news of ‘Tennis @ The Manor’.
Some 2 years – yes you read it correctly since myself and Ex Cllr David Mason lobbied and secured £70+K for enhancements to the Netball/Tennis Courts.
The Fencing was completed (not to everyones satisfaction) earlier this year, the surface was repaired and repainted (not to everyones satisfaction) and the new LED Lighting is to be installed (awaiting comments) imminently.
This has been a somewhat arduous project for not only myself.
Light is at the end of the tunnel – hopefully, I am informed that a ‘lease’ to the Whittlesey
Tennis Club is almost to be signed (Septemeber) – once this is in place – they will be the organisation to make booking/tuition etc.
I joined a little later in the morning but understand some 15 or so ‘Volunteer Groups’ had attended and had some very good networking.
It has been a number of years since I was down the Whittlesey Athletics Football Club, and was blown away in how the site has developed over the years.
Some very good plans for the future.
Just 11 of us attending the ‘older drivers awareness’ meeting this afternoon, run by Cambs Fires Service in partnership with Cambs Police.
Feedback – found it very educating and useful…..
