Two residents visited Cllr Eamonn Dorling and myself.
First resident had a multitude of issues…..
1/ The main one being that he had visited twice before and had no feedback what so ever.
2/ Ongoing concerns of HGV’s turning right out of The Saxon Works coming into Whittlesey.
3/ The state of roads in Whittlesey including the junction at Church Street/A605.
4/ Flooding and Sluice Gate issues (Stanground) should be better monitored.
5/LED Lighting very poor, and that at a previous meeting had been advised by the Councillor in attendance, that they would get 6 new Street Lights for this resident.
6/ Ivy Leaf – the Council should do something about it.
We spent 45 minutes deealing with and giving answers as best as we could to this resident.
Second resident – Only general question.
The report has been forward onto Ward Councillors.
This Saturday – @ WTC Offices, Council Chamber – Gates open to the left of the office.
No appointment needed – just turn up, wait your turn….please.
Cllr Eamonn Dorling Councillor Roy Gerstner.

Have you got our number? We don’t mean 999, or even 101.
We’re talking about our confidential drink and drug drive hotline. In the first three months of the year we’ve made more than 170 drink or drug driving related arrests.
Some of these arrests came as a result of carrying out roadside breath tests after a collision, or proactive regular patrols.
However, others came from concerned members of the public – worried a driver was putting lives at risk.
Our 24/7 hotline – 0800 032 0845 – allows you to anonymously report anyone you suspect of drink or drug driving. One call could save a life. If someone is in immediate danger, call 999.
For more info about drink or drug driving, including the legal limits, potential penalties and dangers it can cause, visit our dedicated web page
