Clothing Recycling Container Update…..

From Mark Mathews, Head of Environmental Services, Fenland District Council.

You will be aware that following changes in the market values of textiles, the Salvation Army have decided to reduce the number of locations where it offers textile recycling banks significantly, withdrawing their banks from many local sites.

We have therefore been working with other suppliers to see if we can cover these locations on a short-term basis.

As a result, you might notice that textile recycling banks in your parish move from being supplied by the Salvation Army to being either Pink Elephant or the Fire Fighters Charity. Both new companies have agreed to supply banks, collect the materials on a suitable frequency to reduce accumulations and recycle the textiles.

The banks will display contact details for the public should there be any issues.

Latest Update Planning @ Saxon Works #1

As previously mentioned – a vast amount of material and reading, only some I’ve posted up here…..

From Stephen Barclay MP
Dear Mr Gerstner,
I am emailing regarding a planning application for the processing of more waste material in Whittlesey, given that you have previously raised your concerns with me on this and related issues.

On Wednesday next week, the Lib-Dem run Cambridgeshire County Council will consider a planning application from Johnson Aggregates Recycling Ltd to double their waste operations at Saxon Pit in Whittlesey. I am deeply concerned about this application, given the long-standing problems at this site and the significant impact it has already had on local residents.
A number of other organisations and representatives have also voiced their concern, including usually the Director of Public Health for Cambridgeshire, the Middle Level Commissioners, and Peterborough City Council’s Highways Authority. I am also grateful to Whittlesey County Councillor Cllr Chris Boden, and to the Saxongate Residents Group, who have done so much to highlight the flaws in this planning application

Despite these serious concerns, I understand that the county council may still be preparing to approve the application. If that were to happen, it would be a betrayal of the people of Whittlesey who have lived with the consequences of this site for far too long. As such, I wanted to ensure you were aware of this planning hearing before any final decision is taken, rather than reading about it after the event.
I have attached here a link to my full objection letter to the planning committee: link to Letter 

Thank you for taking the time to read this update. You can get more regular updates on what I have been up to by following my Facebook Page, or subscribing to my YouTube channel, all of which are updated regularly.

Taking A Break – Been A Somewhat ‘Busy’ Week

The pure ‘volume’ of material involved with the planning application at Saxon Works
is extremely challenging, I will give credit to Alan Bessant who is doing a fantastic amount of work getting as much information out as possible.
Time for a few hours off…..

Not Just Whittlesey-All of Fenland & Most of The Country

We are forever being told that there is more money being spent on road maintenance – pot holes in particular…..
Apparently ‘A Pothole’ in Fenland peat costs around 4X the normal Polhole….thats if it is done properly!

During Monday evening’s Wisbech Town Council meeting, Cllr Steve Tierney called for pressure to be put on Cambridgeshire County Council’s highway department over the poor conditions of our roads.

Councillors believe local highways are in a worse state than any of them can remember.
Cllr Tierney said: “The potholes are everywhere; the roads are in ruinous conditions, and safety has become a key issue because of this. Residents’ vehicles are being damaged, and individuals are being put at risk.”

Clothing Recycling Bin To Return

Cllr Dee Laws informs us :– 

Pink Elephant clothing  recycling units are being installed in Whittlesey.
These will replace the Salvation Army units removed from Grosvenor Road Car Park and possibly viewing other locations.
Hopefully, this should resolve the problem of black plastic bin liners & bags containing clothing being left and piling up in the area.

Pink Elephant Group specialises in recycled clothing and currently operates textile bank collections and recycling schemes across the country. These textile banks are bright pink in colour, to match the company name and brand. “We chose such a name and such a colour to attract more attention to our work and to the recycling and reuse of textiles,” explained Oleksii Kotyk, Director. “We understand that it takes less energy to reuse and recycle material than it does to produce the same material from scratch. Therefore, our emphasis on what we accept and don’t accept are written on our textile banks to promote the reuse of clothing. 90% of what goes in our textile banks is reusable, but 10% of the material still goes to landfill.”
