Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Ahead of Halloween this week, we ask that you consider the advice below to help you, your friends and family stay safe whilst trick or treating.

Don’t knock on the doors of strangers and look for signs that trick or treaters are welcome such as Halloween decorations.

• Never go trick or treating alone, always take someone with you
• Keep to the paths and remember road safety rules after dark
• Wear something bright and colourful so that drivers can see you
• Remember damage to a property or hurting someone is a crime, so keep your tricks to yourself!
• Finally, enjoy goblin all the treats!

Whilst it’s an exciting night for some, please bear in mind that there are members of the public who do not wish to take part.
We ask that you respect people’s wishes and try not to disturb those who chose not to celebrate.

I am pleased to have secured my position back onto Fenland District Council’s Planning Committee as a substansive member.

Some contentious applications coming before todays FDC Planning Committee.
Nothing in Whittlesey, but some in March.

Planning is a very time consuming and at most times intense position.

ALL Councillors should look at applications on their merits and are guided by the Governments National Planning Policy Framework, and not limited too, the Local Fenland Plan and Local Town and Parish Plans.

We are also guided by Planning Officers.

I am very open to being lobbied, however we must not be pre-determined on applications unless we have our own views, in which case we would have to declare ourselves.

Queen St Movie Eve – Sat. 2^nd Nov.  Doors 6.30pm for 7pm  start

“Half Broken Things” – cert 12

(Drama  / Mystery / Thriller)
Starring Penelope Wilton and Daniel Mays

 An excellent, crazy drama.

What happens when three lonely people, all of whom are looking for something, be it love, support or comfort, encounter one another, and begin living a lie, a sumptuous, comfortable, glorious lie?
What a wonderful ninety minute drama this is, it’s so incredibly weird and wonderful, but engaging, funny, intriguing, and has a real shock moment.

It starts off In a somewhat serious tone, then becomes an almost whimsical drama of wonder and disbelief, until the traumatic act that totally transforms the story.
Stef had come from an awful home life, Jason truly was a monster, Michael started off as a petty thief, was Jean perhaps the most deluded and crazed of them all?

Did she perhaps cause the events?

 Refreshments served during interval. No admission charge, donations welcomed.

 Although we scheduled some movies to be shown on Sunday afternoons at the request of some attendees, there was a disappointingly low turn out for last Sunday afternoon’s screening. It is very likely therefore that all movies will be shown on Saturday evenings from now on – please check dates for other screenings.
