Why St Mary’s Church clock has stopped working…..simple it is broken.

I caught up with Emily our resident priest (until next year) – and she informs me,
that the clock has not been working for while, as yet it has not been looked at by a
Horologist and no indication of costs involved.

She said it would be looked into.

The B1040 Whittlesey to Thorney is now fully open.
MW who has been monitoring the ‘works’ is not very impressed – he said?

Some very sad person(s) have once again vandalised a public toilet here in Whittlesey.

This has happened several times before over many years.

The cost to the rate payer has been expensive not to say the (no pun intended) the inconvienience of toilets being closed.

No update as yet….

2024 – Remembrance @ Whittlesey War Memorial – one of the largest attended events I have witnessed – a very good turn out.
