Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Whittlesey South – By Election on July 04th.

I’ve only attended the daytime events, everyone happy and engaging, music during the day with many other events. Today saw the finale of a Drumhead Service in St Marys Churchyeard. Public was a bit thin with only around 100 or so.
Well organised and delivered service.
The event can only grow next year.

Some may say that MP Steve Barclay will be ‘elected’ on Thursday, I doubt very much if his 30 thousand majority is in peril here in Fenland, however, a Conservative friend
(I do have a few) asked what has happened to our Whittlesey Conservative Club.

In years ago – it would have been festooned in Barclay Posters and Conservative Colours.


Looks a bit drab – but again, I do remember in the early 1970’s the Con Club having been ‘vandalised’ by local riff-raff plastering Clement Freud posters all over just before an election.

The Armed Forces Weekend continued today with exhibition of military vehicles on the Market Place. Activity/Stalls/ and other exhibitions within St Marys Churchyard and St Marys Church.
Tomorrow Sunday – 14:30 Drumhead Service @ St Marys.

Both Independent Candidates offer the most experience/knowledge and track record.

They say no day in response policing is the same, and this has been the case for our Fenland response teams!

Response is not just about responding to your calls, in the last 24 hours we have:

🚔Attended collisions in Chatteris, Wisbech, and March

🚔Carried out arrest attempts

🚔Searched for a suspected drug driver

🚔Spoken to victims and gathered statements for ongoing investigations

🚔Given a driver words of advice around their speed

🚔Conducted general patrols of the sector, such as Wisbech, Doddington, Chatteris and March

🚔Made sure all paperwork is up-to-date and ready to handover to our colleagues

This is just a snippet of the work that we do day-to-day! If you ever see us out and about, do come and say hi as we’d love to speak to you and we’re always here should you need us.

Earlier today on Church Street – Gates to St Andrews Field.
