The Portland Stone Wall facing Station Road @ 1 Portland Place has now been completed.
Some 4+ weeks of TLC and a vast cost.
The Holm Oak Tree is the issue, but has a ‘TPO’ – Tree Preservation Order on it – casued the wall to fall down, this has occured before.
The ‘Tree Officer’ at Fenland District Council, insisted that an engineering solution be found.

It has taken some time….doesn’t it always! – but at long last, the Table Tennis Tables at The Manor, have been re-seated on concrete bases and are almost ‘level’ –
Anyone for a game of Ping-Pong…..

They don’t call it a Congestion Charge and use several other names!
4 Hour debate – who watched !,
Has any notice been taken of the number of objections !
All very well for Cambridge, but as with the recent ‘Bus Levy’ put on our rates – we in Whittlesey will see little or no benefit other than having to help pay for it!

• 58% of respondents opposed the proposed Sustainable Travel Zone (STZ) as the means for delivering the transport vision. Opposition increased with age from 35 to 64 with 55–64-year-olds the most likely to oppose.Those who lived outside of Cambridge were also more likely to oppose.

   

  34% of people support the STZ as proposed – So this ‘Quasi’ Group don’t like the result – they will carry on with the project until they get the result they are looking for – sounds familiar ! 

Whittlesey will soon go on the map as having a ‘Supermarket’ – yes we have some what are termed convieient stores… but very soon German Supermarket will have their ‘ALDI’ here on Eastrea Road Whittlesey.
Many on this web-blog are ex Whittlesey residents who live elsewhere including New Zealand and Australia who like to hear what’s happening here…..
Maybe late June…..we will wait just a bit longer.

Some said too Hot….never satisfied, last week too Cold….
Well done again to the organisers of this years Coates Fete On The Green.
Plenty enough people and Pubs doing a roaring trade, I settled more for Tea and Cake in the Church (and it was cooler).
Perhaps not quite as many this year as last, but hey I saw everyone having a good time.

When it comes to contacting us, there are now many different options. Web chat, online reports, social media, 999, 101! 

But how much do you really know about contacting us? Do we recommend that you visit a police station to report a crime? Will you get a response if you direct message us on Facebook or Twitter? Should you call on 101 if you don’t have a crime, you just need advice?
All good questions, but do you know the correct answers? 🤔
