What many do not take into account is ‘everything’ takes time…very frustrating most of the time, but as always, I never walk away from an issue…..

The ‘Rubbish’ left outside of BBQ-Land has now gone for the time being, it is my understanding that the owner/operators have not/did not pay the contactors.
Easy – solution don’t use the place – I have to say I like promoting local business, but have never been in this place…..
The ongoing Cat & Mouse with the ‘Abandoned Caravan’ Aliwal Road, does have another ‘enforcement notice’ on it…..

14 Town Councillors elected in Whittlesey.

I just wanted to give you all a little update on our monthly radio programme, Town Talk Live, which continues to go from strength to strength and hass attracted a wonderful number of listeners.

Here are our scheduled shows for the remainder of the year:

• June 7th – Roy Gerstner
• July 12th – Chris Boden
• August 9th – Peter Bibb (proposed – awaiting confirmation)
• September 6th – Dee Laws (proposed – awaiting confirmation)
• October 11th – Diane Davison (proposed – awaiting confirmation)
• November 1st – Available
• December 6th – Available

I notice there are still a few of you who have not yet put your names forward, and we do still have two dates available for this year. Please do consider taking part — there’s really nothing to worry about!
As Barry Wainwright will happily confirm, we are a very friendly bunch and promise not to bite anyone’s head off! 🙂

It would be lovely to hear from you, and I look forward to receiving your replies.

With best wishes,
Matt Page
