Fenland Inspire!
Information on our Fenland Inspire! investment campaign
Fenland’s elected Cabinet members are keen to deliver several investment projects under the Fenland Inspire! programme.
The projects’ aims include enhancing sports, leisure, and heritage facilities, promoting healthy lifestyles and preserving the district’s unique character.
An initial list of schemes was proposed and approved by Cabinet for consideration and outlined in our 2025/26 Business Plan (PDF, 842 KB)
At Cabinet in June 2025, Council Leader Cllr Boden stated that it was not currently financially prudent to pursue all the projects in the original list and outlined projects to focus on initially for further investigation and development.

Whittlesey Town Council Meeting – Thursday 17/07/25 @ 18:30 – Important Information
The councillor attendees for the Johnsons Aggregates Recycling Ltd (JARL) Liaison meeting are on the agenda for the next council meeting.
The public are allowed to attend. Hopefully a strong format / robust solution will be approved, so going forward the public have the opportunity to raise questions ahead of the meetings and see any outcomes / responses published in a timely manner.
We note at the CCC planning meetings for the Southern Buttress restoration works (due to last seven years) and the new metal recycling facility there was also a statement that Liaison groups should be formed. The site agent for that operator noted to planning officials that any such groups could be combined to cover the totality of those operations. Saxongate thinks whoever sits on the JARL liaison meeting should also sit on any such group as the potential issues are very similar.
There were very few applications to consider.
Some of the few ‘Volunteers’ did a 10 hour shift preparing and attending Julys MOTS event today.
I managed 12-18:00 that was enough, the weather was kind and not too hot as it had been yesterday.
Looking forward to the August event…..More later.
Next MOTS Sunday 10th August.
