A very important update by Portfolio Holder for Leisure @ FDC – Cllr Alex Miscandlon with progress on the future of the Manor Centre/Field – This evening was atttended by 22 ‘Friends & Partners’ – the importance of some £13 Million being allocated for improvements saw 4 Whittlesey Independent Councillors attend the meeting.
Some plans are still in the early stages, but hopefully the All Weather Walk/Running track will be delivered by October this year.
Another community group, I am pleased to have been one of the original member to form the group from the onset.
Already extremely well supported/The Manor & SwimmingPool.
Further to the post below, we have received today notice that the ‘monitor’ is due to be returned 11th April, sometime after FDC will arrange for it to be re-installed.

I may go along and find out who/what/where/how the Reform candidates are going to benifit me….?
I had good hour’s catch up with our Neighbourhood PCSO’s Dan & Katrina.
Also interesting talk with Dave Spencer, Housing First Team Leader, Fenland, Hunts,
East Cambs.
Amonst Dave’s remit is homelessness and vagrancy.
He and the Police are well aware of the ‘latest’ female living rough in Whittlesey and have made contact.
Only two other members of the public came along, well aware that some are at work.
Another fact emerged that the PCSO’s had ‘issued over 200 parking tickets‘ last year 2024.
They are busy presently/priority of shop lifting in March..
