A near 4 hour meeting which can be viewed on FDC’s YouTube Channel™
The agenda for the Overview & Scrutiny Panel was published on this web-blog earlier.
A couple of items and questions/answers in respect to Whittlesey…
1/ Cllr Dee Laws informed us that the safety enhancements for the ‘Market Place/Buttercross would now be done slightly differently than was orginally planned –
There is a ‘trip concern’ stepping off the Buttercross onto the Market Place and there has been a few incidents.
Funding from the CPCA (Cambs & Peterboro Combined Authority) for the Heritage Centre
(which has been shelved) was re-allocated for other projects – this being one.
However I believe the figure of £10,000 was set aside to level up the ‘Block-Paving’ – this figure has been deemed insufficient and therefor a different approach will now happen.
Highlighting the area will now take place.
2/ I asked FDC Leader Cllr Boden, where were are with the consultation for the Whittlesey Refief Road.
He informed that this report is planned for sometime in 2025.
So we won’t know what/if/costs/feasibility may be contained in the report for some time yet.
There maybe a further update to this article tomorrow……
