Sorry To Say It – Whittlesey Is Becoming To Look #Shabby# Updated

A Week Sunday we have another ‘FREE’ event The Whittlesey Festival’ with so much to see, do and entertain….BUT….

With more and more ‘vandalism’ being ‘reported’, more loss of shops/retail and oh dear me for saying such a thing – ‘feral dysfunctional youths‘ who are allegedly bored during holidays have nothing better to do.

When I recently engaged from my mobility truck’ with youths (8) on top of the World War II pillbox on the Bower Towpath, I was greeted with expletives and accused of being a ‘paedophile’  – that’s the last thing I need to be accused of.
Frightening to say the least.
Yesterday I hear that ‘some’ were on top of the Co-Op building throwing off a concrete block….

What’s happening….why is it becoming so…..
Our electioneers for Lattersey Ward elections next week have ALL the answers – really..


Grosvenor Road Car Park yesterday.


Ivy Leaf yesterday.


Grosvenor House           A605 damaged bench.


Shabby Market Street Ex Emporium.

Bower Footbridge – Now closed for safety reasons – having been vandalised.


St Mary’s Parish Hall.

ALL ongoing and probably more….

Some of us Councillors are trying our best but ‘Nigel’s not going to fix it is he?
