My one man Litter-Pick earlier this week along the A605 & Ralph Butcher Causeway…
Report something I’ve never found before….who the hell throws this out of their car window….!!!!!
I wonder if it was +ve or -ve !!!
With so many concerns over the amount of advertising hoardings on the Dog-In-a-Doublet
Bridge, I/we ascertained that it comes under Peterborough Unitary Authority, I contacted them, however No Resources or Costings….I then contacted the PUA Local Councillor and within a week the hoarding had been taken down.
I dare say it won’t be long until some more arrive…
Somewhat disappointed that –
I being one of the sponsors of the Whittlesey Fire Brigade Open Day,
that they too had left their banner in place here and other places…..disappointed !!!!
A very cleaned up Bridge – For How Long !!!!!
My thanks Mr Smith for contacting me back and say – Thank you Roy…..
Concerned residents contacted WTC and myself over worries of cutting down 2 trees on the Bower side of the field.
I reported a fallen branch last week, thinking the trees may have been ‘stressed’ due to the weather….however when inspected…
Following an inspection as it was found to have a significant amount of fungal decay at its base. This can be seen in the photograph you provided.
As the tree was multi-stemmed, there was a substantial risk of structural failure. Due to the level of risk this posed within the public open space, the decision was made to fell the tree in the interests of public safety. This work has been carried out by one of registered tree contractors earlier this week. Sorry this was all completed quite quickly as one limb had already fallen so we wanted to prevent any further issues.
Today – All gone, I will ask whether they will be replaced.
CDC Building Control attended the building this afternoon as one of the windows had become unsafe. CNC provides the building control functions for the Local Authority areas of South Norfolk, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Fenland, Norwich City and Broadland.
I spoke with the supervisor and asked who would be paying for this work…
(3 workmen + 1 Telehandler – the Telehandler had been driven from Kings Lynn !!!!! and had to return –
The answer was…the owner of the building – to which he replied – Good Luck…..!!!!!

Earlier prior to my challenging journey (mobility truck) along Beales Drove, I had returned from Peterborough tor witness the Ralph Butcher Causeway Bridge being swept (by hand) and air blowers cleaning any debris from the road and foot path –
Later whilst returning from Beales Drove/DFDS/A605 I Litter-picked along the road,
5 hours after the bridge was spotless cleaned, guess what I found 8 bits of discarded plastic cans and bottles +++ One Pregnancy Testing Kit (Empty Box)
Whilst the Ralph Butcher Causeway was closed we (councillors) were getting many reports and complaints that Beales Drove (look it up on Google Maps™) that HGV’s and others were using as a ‘rat run’ – Cllr Fisher was in regular contact with CCC Highways to no avail and disappointment – it being Highways and NOT fit for purpose….?
So yesterday I spent 2½ transversing from Ramsey Road – Blackbush Drove onto Beales Drove and coming out onto A605 by DFDS.
In that 2½ hours I witnessed only 1 HGV and that was making a legitimate delivery to KDS Steel and 1 other SUV/Car ….. so I’m not saying that there was not an issue or problem, but I certainly did not witness any issue….
I attach here many photo’s….. If residents have issues like this – TAKE PHOTO’s….
we then have evidence…..
I have been sent the below incident….
The Whittlesey Lattersey By-election has seen support among candidates for one another, with no bad feelings or words.
It is very disappointing then that an incident involving a campaign leafleter today had to be reported to the police. The leafleter was verbally abused as the leafleter turned back to make their way back past a house that they had leafleted on the Taylor Wimpey estate.
The female leafleter remained polite and calm. Yet the male aggressor later followed the leafleter in his vehicle and continued to shout verbal abuse in a threatening manner.
The man’s name, address, vehicle and photo/video evidence has been submitted to the police.
Political parties are lawfully allowed to leaflet, canvass and campaign during election periods and should not be subject to abuse.
