Before Whittlesey Town Council was formed, we had Whittlesey Urban District Council, our own employed Road Sweeper, our own Refuge Depot, Our Own Planning Department, to name a few. Offices were based in Queens Street (The building in front of the car park) and prior to that in Delph Street.
Miss Judith Foard was an assistant clerk at the council, she still lives in Whittlesey.
So much for promises from Governments about ‘Localism’ – we had and lost it swallowed up by what is now Fenland District Council.
