If You Had Been Down The Wood Today…!

Whittlesey Town Council’s project ‘Platinum Wood’ – located at the bottom end of Yarwell Headlands, (disabled access), is developing nicely.
The 4 acre area is visited by dozens of people every day.

Another bench has very generously being purchased (The fourth) and will be installed towards the end of May.
A fantastic ‘Free’ – help yourself Herb Garden.

Todays ‘bed’ of Dandelions
(Taraxacum officinale) are hardy, edible, perennial weeds found worldwide, known for their bright yellow flowers, jagged leaves, and white-fleshed taproots. They act as crucial early-spring food for pollinators, supporting over 50 insect species. Every part is edible; leaves are high in nutrients, and roots are used for tea or coffee substitutes.

Neighbourhood Police Meet This Morning…..

PCSO Dan, Robin Sutton and myslef attended this mornings meet up at Whittlesey Library.

Only 2 members of the public came with their concerns which some have already been addressed and actioned.

Issues again around ‘parking’, but this as usual is not a ‘priority’ for the Sergeant in Charge.

That said, sometime afte PCSO Dan had left, I departed and found he had ‘ticketed’ a vehicle parked in a Disabled Bay with NO valid Disabled Parking Badge.


I came back some 3 hours later on my way home, the same car was still parked in the same spot – inconsiderate is not strong enough.


Parked not only inconsiderately but ‘illegally’ as well – please have a ‘ticket’.

Invitation From More Muzic Radio – Councillors

Only 3 Councillors are ‘prepared’ to put their head above the parapet, some are affraid maybe,
but have plenty to say on social media.

Cllr. Barry Wainwright.   Cllr. Chris Boden.   Cllr. Roy Gerstner.

An Open Invitation to Local Councillors.
We’d like to extend an open invitation to all local councillors to join us at our community radio station for a live, monthly on-air conversation with Wittlesey residents.

The programme will be broadcast once a month on a Sunday at 3pm, providing a regular opportunity to engage directly with the people you represent, answer questions about our town, and discuss the issues that matter most — from local services and development to community concerns and future plans. No topic is off the table.
Questions will come from a mix of listener emails and live calls during the programme, giving a broad and authentic voice to our community.

Our aim is to create an open, respectful space where listeners can hear directly from their elected representatives and feel more connected to local decision-making.
If you’re a councillor interested in taking part, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch via direct message or email to arrange a suitable date.

Let’s open up the conversation.
Respectfully yours.
Matt Page.
