What is known as The ‘Emporium’ at present, along with the Dry Cleaners and Quinns, the whole site has now a planning application for its development.

Rather ominous that I happened to publish a picture of the Old Cinema ealier this week in relation to the Heritage Talks coming next week.

There are already ‘several comments/objections’ on the FDC Planning Portal, as I am a member of FDC’s planning committee, I will view the applications that is brought before the committee. Only comments/objections that are ‘planning related’ will be considered.

I am keeping the electorate informed of the application.
You can view the application and the associated paperwork by going to FDC’s Planning Portal – F/YR24/0001/F

Shoplifting & Retial Crime

I will not reveal the amount of shop-lifting that occurs here in Whittlesey, but it is somewhat surprising daily the amount
of goods stolen from our super-markets – the figures are probably even higher than what is recorded
At the end of the day, it is the paying customer who has to cover these loses (Shrinkage).One of the local priorities is tackling retail crime across March, Chatteris, and Whittlesey, particularly shoplifting and anti-social behaviour (ASB).

A way that we have been addressing these concerns is through regular patrols of the shops across the sector, speaking to staff members.

Officers spent the day visiting various shops and distributing leaflets explaining how they can report retail crime to us, and some prevention advice. It was a very insightful and productive day, with shops raising a number of crimes to us.
To help us in tackling this issue, we would like to encourage businesses to report any incidents to us so we can identify offenders and hotspot areas, and inform the future work that we do for this.

The 7 members of Fenland District Council Planning Committee had a very robust debate on several planning applications. Some of the applications are difficult and emotive.
Several speakers promoting or in cases objecting to applications have to be taken into account. All decisions are planning based.
