Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

At 11 o’clock I reported ‘Fly-tipped’ material on Church Street with incriminating evidence of where and who the boxes were originated and delivered to….
By 2 o’clock the evidence was taken away….

At 12 o’clock I stopped by Broad Street and asked permission to report the incident to the Police.

At 3 o’clock I duly went through the arduous process of reporting Anti-Social Behaviour to Cambs Police.

Thank you for completing the form, your reference is: DP-30549-26-3535-04.

At 2 o’clock I went and had a look at an issue nearby Priors Road, which another Councillor has not responded too.

Pictures taken and will be reported at logged.

All this whilst collecting a whole bag of Rubbish and Litter around our town

Then when I went out in the evening, what did I see…. Blue Flashing Lights along West End, – Police car stopped and a ‘very young’ officer looking somewhat confused…..

I asked him if I could be of any assistance….to which he asked where a certain property was…..as not showing on his Police issued phone…..I directed him to the house nearby.

Then Connie, myself and some Friends Of Platinum Wood spend an hour watering our very thirsty trees…..
And when I got home an elderly lady on Church Street wrote a long e-mail about he parking problems…. and I was first to acknowledge and reply…

Not always as busy as this but most days…..
However we do like a holiday – don’t we all…..I take all my toys/electro’s with me.

So today, I have appointments and will taking it easier – send me a problem or issue you will always get a reply.

Enjoy the weekend weather – BBQ’s

Local Government reform is about to take place…!
After a couple of years in the process and various consultations (for what they are worth)
Bets I hear are that Fenland will be offered ‘Option D’ which in reality is probably the best we’re going to get….

The Older Driver Workshops, delivered by the fire service, are free sessions designed to help us all keep driving safely for longer. 
They discuss how driving can become more challenging as we get older, and what simple checks we can do at home to keep ourselves fit to drive.

This interactive, two-hour session covers the following topics:

• Age-related changes when driving
• Eyesight and driving

Another bit of unwanted ‘Vandalism’ – passing along Broad Street this morning (11:00am)
CAITS Cosmetics had all their windows smashed along with the main door.

Workmen there making good.
(Insurance I am informed).

Asked if reported to police – answer what’s the point.
So….Yes arduous and somewhat time consuming reporting on Cambs Police Report Website – but I have done it……

If it is NOT reported – It is NOT Recorded – and NO Audit trail.

I don’t know why !!!!! – I am always the one to report crime and issues…
Here this morning, a dumped/discarded load of cardboard boxes fly-tipped.
Fortunately, there is evidence on the boxes of the source and delivery address.
Reports asap….Hope they get the ‘works’

Church Street Whittlesey – today

Myself, Cllr Eamonn Dorling, with fantastic help from Alan Hobbs and Peter Davies, had several hours cutting and strimming grass.
Alas our sit-on mower – decided to pack up with a bearing issue, so back to manual push mowers….

Remember Saturday 18th July is Platinum Wood Open Day.
