Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Cllr Doring send the follow pictures, concerning the recently installed speed reductions
at the new entrance to Sir Harry Smiths – (see my earlier posting).
It appears to be another Puddle/Splash issue between the speed bumps…..

Cllr Boden has replied……

Many thanks, Eamonn.

They say a picture paints a thousand words – well, your two photos tell a clear story.  I’ve taken the libertry of forwarding them to the relevant department at Alconbury with a request for remedial action – it looks as if the speed cushions have created the pooling effect which we can now expect to see every time it rains.

I’ll advise you when I receive a response. 
Kind regards,
Chris

The County Council is continuing to maintain the temporary westbound lane closure for road safety reasons, while tests take place to fully understand the carriageway issue, why the cracks have appeared and come up with a way forward.
Clearly this means that road users will continue to experience delay in this location.  

 Due to the nature of the monitoring and testing we are unable, at this point, to provide any programme for when the lane can be reopened but will continue to keep the public updated.

A small group of us now……
Chairman Robert Windle updated us and we discussed options for this coming 2024
Whittlesey Extravaganza Event.
The format will be the tested year on year success.

Funding is always a challenge and the costing this year have all risen by some 10% over 2023 prices.

A small cabin cruiser that was moored behind the retail park on Station Road
(Bowling one), has been vandalised and cut loose. 
Middle Level are aware and will get it tied off.

At yesterdays FDC planning meeting, John Ankers – Old Chapel Farm for Weddings and Entertainment Venue, was proposed by officers to be granted, however due to WTC and neighbours objecting came to the committee for determination.
Cllr Alex Miscandlon speaking on behalf of WTC planning committee, objections mainly on the road, access, noise and speeding. Another neighbour put good arguments on environmental grounds.
However the FDC committee, granted the application with several conditions attached –
Hours of operation and the number of events a year.
