Congratulations to Poppy and her team. Officially opened by The Mayor of Whittlesey,
Cllr Kay Mayor.
The Air Quality Senor Monitor placed in Whittlesey (Hallcroft Road) which was removed for its annual cailibration, will be returned sometime next week.
You can still view the historical information on a range of gas and pollutants.
The Bower Towpath is becoming difficult to navigate once more, the ownership is very complicated, so we (Councillors) ask FDC if their contractor will do it, which when asked normally come along and keep most of it clear.
I understand from a conversation I had today, that it will addressed very shortly.
There was an issue with an overhanging tree branch which was becoming dangerous, this was reported and within a week had also been addressed.
Besides the ‘offical’ opening of Poppys Coffee Bar/Shop, if you have a spare hour and in need of some fresh air, do something with and for your community, why not come along to either a Street Pride Litter Pick (Meet at the top end of Funthams Lane/Mccains at 10:00)
………..or……….
Meet with The Friends of The QEII Jubilee Wood at the bottom end of Yarwells Headlands for a general clear and clean up also at 10:00 Parents and Children especially welcome, no committment…..
I understand the missing dog has been found with the help of a ‘drone pilot’
Probably the most sucessful groups in the area, with some 230 members.
Lots of different groups to join and take part.
Meets 3rd Thursday each month 2pm at Childers
Fenland residents have been invited to share their views on plans to upgrade Whittlesea Station at an event next month.
Current plans for the station include lengthening platforms, creating a new footbridge and a new car park.
Passenger shelters and a second ticket machine have already been added since the plans were first drawn up in 2013.
Later this month Fenland District Council is due to approve an agreement with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority to obtain £3m of funding set aside for the project.

The latest phase of work on the project follows a decision in 2022 to upgrade the existing station rather than establish a new one.
A project board considered the possibility but ultimately concluded that the cost would be prohibitive.
A feedback event for residents will be hosted by Hereward Community Rail Partnership at Whittlesey Town Council offices on Queen Street on 28 June.
It will be part of a series of events aimed at gathering input about the station’s redevelopment.
