Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

I’ve said on many occasions, that my ‘Litterpicking’ whether it be on my own or with the organised ‘Street Pride’ Group, – very therapeutic and calming, that is until someone had a go at me (again), which I am also used too.
Not a problem if the issue(s) are my fault or making I’ll take full responsibility, but it is not fair to have a go – when the issue(s) are outside my control.

I’ve published on many occasions, that ‘if’ something on this web-blog is not correct, I am more than happy to either correct it or to remove it….

Todays findings, not mine – All Street Pride.

Earlier I published the Conservative and Green Party Candidates election leaflets.
I am now in receipt of Mr Peter Bibb leaflet standing as ‘Independent’

AB sent me his attempt…not bad – and claims his ‘Head’ is bigger?

Over the last couple of years, my friends (yes I have a few) have been growing ‘Sunflowers’ and there is a bit of competition as to who has the tallest/largest….
I think this year – Connie has got the tallest….unless you know different.

Topping at just over 3 metres – fed on a special diet of Tortoise You-Know-What?

A great deal of controversy and ‘heat’ being generated about there being No Polling Cards being issued for the forthcoming By-Election for Whittlesey Northwest.

He may be the returning officer, but not even Paul Medd can force Whittlesey town council to issue polling cards for a by election – a decision which has angered Fenland Green Party.
“The Fenland Green Party has raised concerns regarding Whittlesey Town Council’s recent decision to not issue polling cards for the upcoming by-election scheduled for the 28th of September,” said a spokesperson.

Let me make things ‘clear’ – it was NOT as being reported a Whittlesey Town Council decision NOT to issue Polling Cards, I and several other Whittlesey Town Councillors, were NOT consulted in any form what-so-ever, so to say it was a WTC decision is a bit wide of the mark. The decision was made by ‘the executive councillor(s) of WTC/FDC.

I am in receipt of both The Green and Conservative Candidates inital publicity, and note that although both are going to ‘fix’ Whittlesey’s envirnomental issues, neither have been involved as far as I am aware of any groups such as The Saxongate Residents Group, or attended ANY Council meetings so far – I am very enthusiastic that they all have the ‘guts’ to put up for election, however, the ‘Spin’ on their leaflets leaves a little to be desired.
Please keep to the facts and figures…..

To date I have not received any material from Independent Candidate Peter Bibb.

Fenland District Council have over the past few years, made loans to Freedom Leisure (The group who run and manage the 4 Leisure/Swimming Polls in Fenland), and have decided to continue this support, there are significant benifits to do so, and I fully support this initiative.
