Receiving an e-mail informing us of Cambridgeshire County Council’s plans for dealing with the ‘Weed Issues’ (Ha) – The schedual of work did not include – yes you guessed right Whittlesey. So I sent an e-mail asking why we were not included.
~I then got a message back ….
The full list of all the parishes will be on the webpages from July. We have only published the first 2 weeks of locations to be treated, these locations are subject to the weather and the amount of weeds that are present makes a difference to the length of time the contract take to apply the herbicide.
All parishes that have not withdrawn from the programme will receive chemical weed treatment during the months of June and July.

This morning I called Emma Stannard and asked her ‘How’ the Weed excercise was going to be carried out.
After spraying, – 3/4 weeks later the road sweeper will hopefully go around and clear out those ‘now dead weeds’ – I asked about those BIG weeds on pathways – she said the Fenland District Council will be dealing with them?
We shall see…..
