Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

A robust question and answer session took place with developer Persimmon Homes today at FDC’s planning committee meeting, this can be viewed on FDC’s YouTube Channel.

After some 3 hours, the application for up to 1,200 new housing in March was approved, subject to access to the site – the building of a round-about to take place before any housing construction.

Reserved matters need to be agreed and this is a 10 year project in various stages.

This year’s appeal is running until Saturday, 7 December. Donations will be accepted at Tesco, in Hostmoor Avenue, March, and Wisbech Police Station, in Nene Parade, where the yellow phone outside can be used to contact staff.

We have continued to see news reports from across England and Wales, sharing accounts of severe weather events and the damage that they have caused in local communities over the past weekend, to homes, businesses, and individuals.

We urge everyone to stay safe during these extreme weather events, and to check on vulnerable neighbours or members of your community when possible. Please listen to updates and weather warnings from your local government services to remain informed of the situation in your local area.

You can check for flood warnings in England using this Government website, and you can check for flood warnings in Wales using this website.

This page from Age UK’s website offers advice on how to support elderly residents during a flood crisis, and this UK Government website offers advice on what to do after you’ve been affected by flooding.

Flood alert for Lower Nene
Over the last 48 hours we have seen heavy rainfall in the River Nene catchment. This means that the Lower River Nene is now rising, and will continue to rise over the next few days, which will lead to flooding of low-lying land and roads close to the river from this evening, Monday 25th November. Flooding to gardens, driveways or outhouses is possible close to the river.
Our forecasts indicate that flooding inside properties is likely, and therefore flood warnings are expected to be issued from tomorrow.
We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the field checking for blockages and clearing weedscreens.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated online and on FloodLine on Tuesday, 26th November, or before if the situation changes.
