Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

The forever ‘battle’ with these vandals is becoming tiresome to say the least.
I’ve been to see what they’ve done this time.
The Picknick Bench project was a WTC project to replace the very old and vandalised benches. I/we raised nearly £10,000 to replace all with environmentally sustainable benches including 2 for disabled people.

We regularly get a group from March (6 autistic adults) who buy food from local take-aways and have an enjoyable afternoon here in Whittlesey.
There are two other groups that come from Peterborough to enjoy our facilities.

I would realy like to catch these ‘Vandals’ but I doubt if anyone is prepared to name and shame them?

We shall see if this damage can be repaired.

Not only missing slats, another go at burning the table-top.

I am writing to formally advise you that the Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan was made (i.e. adopted) at a meeting of the Full Council of Fenland District Council on the 22^nd May 2023.
As a result the neighbourhood plan now forms part of the Development Plan for Fenland District and should be used for determining planning applications within the Whittlesey Neighbourhood Area.

Details of the Whittlesey Neighbourhood Plan can be found at this link:
