Welcome to another packed month in The Fenlander, with news of how you can input to help shape how the district develops in coming years, updates on major projects and new protections for our heritage.

There’s also career opportunities not to be missed, details of community events and a community grant.

In this month’s The Fenlander:

• Have your say on new Local Plan
• March town centre redevelopment update – and how the demolition of the former Barclay’s Bank marks the final phase of the regeneration
• New protection for historic mud walls in Whittlesey
• Have your say on the draft Doddington Neighbourhood Plan
• Career opportunities with Fenland District Council
• Free event for over 60s
• Small grants fund open for applications

Community safety updates and messages

Have your say on Fenland’s future as new Local Plan gets under way.

Residents, businesses and community groups are invited to help shape the future of Fenland by taking part in a simple survey.

The survey forms an initial step in the development of a new Local Plan.
The plan, known as Fenland 50, will guide how Fenland grows and changes up to 2050, influencing where new homes and jobs go, how towns and villages develop, how flood risk is managed, and the quality of new development.

The survey, or scoping consultation, will run until 9am on Monday, 16 March.

GhostingFinished4Today.

Not only the leader of Fenland District Council, a Whittlesey Town Councillor and Cambs County Councillor, he has other positions elsewhere and numberous committee appointments – experienced and knowledgable –

He should have well known how his presentation about getting more money allocated for highways was going to go – that is nowhere….the £Million or so he was hoping to secure, would have made very little difference to our roads.

The problem is not now or recent, it stems from Governments for the past 50 years, 
milking the motorist and not putting enough back….
Then of course yet another vain project HS2 – Billions and Billions of wasted money – ruin many woodlands on the way…. and remember this it was Labour & Gordon Brown and his cabinet came to approve HS2 in the first place in 2010 thats already 16 years ago.

So give Boden his due, he put a ‘political’ case knowing that the ‘broken’ highways within not only our area but throughout the country was a dead duck…. (no disrespect to ‘ducks’)

More rain coming so don’t expect it will last for long….

North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice. 
The situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area.  
Flood warnings and alerts may still be in force for surrounding areas. 
The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
