At their meeting (Wednesday) – (Growing Fenland – Whittlesey Committee) to determine the future of £455,000 left from unspent budget for the now no go Heritage Centre.
As you are all aware both Councillor/Leader (WTC) David Mason and myself put forward a request that ALL the money be spend within The Manor Area, to kick-start a regeneration of the area for sports/environmental and youth support.
Thank you to all those who contacted myself and Cllr Mason 95% of whom supported our proposals.
Cllr Mason attended the ‘virtual’ meeting yesterday afternoon acting as the substitute for the sitting WTC Councillor Munns who was unable to attend.
Cllr Mason put forward our case, there was no seconder to the proposal and the Committee put forward their own plan, whereby some of the monies ‘could’ be spent on the Manor, but the rest and on –
- Southern Relief Road
- Exhibiting some of the Must Farm finds at the library.
Levelling the Market Square to provide a safer area for events.
The ‘bulk’ of the money being spent on Consultants to produce the next stage of the Southern Relief Road. (A report) – Their proposal was voted through…..
Whilst I accept the democratic result – it is disappointing – We move onwards and flight for this for our future on another day.
The Growing Fenland (Whittlesey Committee on Thursday) consisted of Cllr Boden, Cllr Laws and member of the public Martin Curtis)
