Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Our detectives have charged a man in connection with a series of keyless car thefts across Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties.

The 27-year-old, who is from Spalding, Lincolnshire, was arrested in Haslingfield, near Cambridge, in the early hours of Wednesday morning (19 June) by our road policing officers.

On Friday (21 June), he was charged with conspiracy to steal motor vehicles estimated to exceed £600,000 within Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire between August 2023 and June 2024, handling stolen goods and going equipped for theft – namely being in possession of two vehicle frequency relay devices and an antenna booster.

He appeared at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday where he was granted bail by magistrates to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on 19 July and has been made subject of strict bail conditions to surrender his passport to police, wear an electronic tag and must adhere to a curfew between 9pm and 6am.

Advice on how to best protect you vehicle against theft can be found on our dedicated vehicle security information webpages.

The sun will make an appearance today.
Come and enjoy a wonderful day out.

Last night a small group –
The Friends of Jubilee Wood met up and carried out a couple of hours maintenance and tidying around the trees.

In the near future a ‘Bee Hive’ will be installed, this has been delayed because one person complained….

We have obatined permission from Fenland District Council, a full risk assessment, and management plan in place. The Hive will be managed by Beekeeper.

There is signage and if left alone they will not normally interfere with anyone.

This is Mr Clayton Payne ‘Headline’ on his election leaflet.

Mr Payne is full of rhetoric in his accusations of other candidates standing in the St Andrews Bi-Election.

Mr Clayton Payne, ‘just’ lives within 200 metres of the Boundary to make him eligible to stand as a candidate – he has never stood in Whittlesey before and lives in Black Drove, Murrow – What does Mr Clayton Payne know about Whittlesey, the community or the Council – he could have come to last nights Town Council meeting but didn’t turn out.

As for accusing ex councillor(s) of being Conservatives and now standing as Independent,
Maybe Mr Clayton Payne’s memory is somewhat short…having stood previously not on one party platform but several……!!!!

While I’m at it, I’ve collected a number of discarded election leaflets bearing Mr Clayton Paynes literature.

So please take Mr Clayton Paynes advice –
Don’t Be Fooled by Him on
July 4th.

ps…. He even forgot to put stamps on a number of his envelopes – costing those who wanted the delivery £5 – I understand he has paid some back.

I make no excuses, – Vote for Independent at the Whittlesey By-Elections 4th July.

Due to unforseen circumstances, the Whittlesey Town Council Office will not be open to the public today.

(Q) Why is the A605 being resurfaced when other areas ie Coates to Cemetery Road are in worse condition.
(A) It is my understanding that this section (Cemetery Road – Kellyvision Roundabout) failed a ‘skid -test’ and therefor was given priority.

The Highways Engineer had been out with CC David Connor some weeks ago on an inspection of the A605 Coates to Cemetery Road and had the repair work costed at some £440,000. He was then told there was only £20,000 in the budget.

I now understand there is an update on this but not been told officially.
