When some of our Councillors were still in ‘shorts’ – and probably not progressed a great deal since.
My friends and I (and they are still my friends) were organising and holding public community meetings every 3 months, paid for by the local police team.
The last meeting we held had over 60 people attend.
It was decided I was NOT an Elected Councillor, and that Whittlesey Town Council would take over the meetings, it lasted just one more before folding.
One of the reasons I decided to stand as an Independent Councillor…..
It has taken well over 30 years for the out of town Supermarket to happen..
