Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Another ‘free’ event to our community.

Report an issue that is affecting you

So, what I am told is a record – 3 weeks to get the ‘illegal/non  compliant/nil permit/unsafe scaffolding taken down by the ‘iffy’ builders, is almost a record – all ended with good communications from the enforcement officer @ Cambs CC.

Next issue – was the very elderly gentleman and his disabled daughter a victim of rogue trading, after some more long winded investigations this appears not so.
Now there is a new roofing company (I have their details – as I happened to meet them) who are applying for the correct permits and will replace the slate tiles on the front of the building.

Within the conservation area – picture taken Friday 29th May.

I hope that this brings a good resolution to all concerned.

Today, saw only the 2 regulars and myself with PSCO Dan.



Dear Roy,
Your local neighbourhood team have been busy working towards their current priorities:

• Tackling vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in March, Whittlesey, and Chatteris town centres
• Proactive targeting of known drug dealing and drug use hotspots, within March, Whittlesey and Chatteris town centres, with a focus on disrupting criminal networks and safeguarding young people at risk of exploitation
• Provide a visible policing presence in town centres and other public spaces to offer community reassurance and address safety concerns. This priority follows engagement with young people.

If you would like to discuss any of these issues with your local officers, or if there is something else you would like to raise, then come along to one of our community meetings this month.

Full details of these meetings can be found below:

• March Library, from 6pm until 7pm, on Thursday, 4 June
• March Library, from 12pm until 1pm, on Friday, 12 June
• Whittlesey Library, from 2pm until 3pm, on Friday, 12 June
• March Library, from 5pm until 6pm, on Thursday, 25 June
• Whittlesey Library, from 10am until 11am, on Tuesday, 30 June

As we come to the end of these current priorities and look to set new ones, your input is more important now than ever, and we would love to hear from you.
