Today Editor of the Cambs News© John Elworthy has highlighted these concerns.

Apologies, the formatting has been somewhat a challenge to make the orginal message work on the web…..

Dear Roy,

We have been in contact with the company carrying out repairs to the walk in pool steps, and the works needed to return the steps to a safe and acceptable standard are more complicated than originally anticipated.

We are due to receive the steps back on site in the middle of January, taking into account courier schedules with regards to Christmas and New Year closures and reduced operating hours.

We do apologise that this has taken so long to get sorted and thank all of our customers for their patience in this matter.

At last nights meeting of The Whittlesey Community Focus Group (Teams) –
Ollie Foster informed us that last Sunday 96 residents used the ‘Community Pantry’

The group has been working hard this year to secure and refurbish a central Whittlesey venue, submit grant applications, and put all the policies, training and requirements in place to open a community pantry and fridge which is accessible to all.

It is based on the grounds of the Falcon Pub in Whittlesey and is initially open

Thursday’s 11am-12 noon and Sundays 5.30-6.30pm.

Helping Whittlesey has received support from several groups including environment and sustainability organisations PPS Independent Consultants and Peterborough Environment City Trust (PECT), Fenland District Council, The Peoples Postcode Lottery and Jenner Healthcare. This joined up approach offers a valuable co-ordinated resource to the community.

All the food is free, and a voluntary donation can be given to help with running costs.
This is not a ‘Food Bank’ or ‘Food Aid’ – it is surplus food that is not sold and would normally be thrown away.

96 last Sunday – the word is out  Facebook
