Have your say on our Draft Business Plan and Budget
We have developed our draft Business Plan and Budget for 2023/24. These documents explain the services we will deliver over the next year and how we plan to manage our finances.
We would be grateful if you could complete this short survey about these documents. Your feedback will help us to make sure we are focusing the right amount of resources in the most important areas.
Before you start, please take a moment to read through the draft Business Plan (PDF) [2MB] and draft Budget (PDF) [3MB] documents.
Take the Draft Business Plan and Budget survey.
The survey closes on 3 February 2023 and we will publish the results on our website. Our Councillors will use public feedback when considering the final version of the Business Plan and Budget in February 2023.

Today marks the beginning of Neighbourhood Policing Week – a national campaign which aims to shine a light on the important work of neighbourhood policing teams across the UK.
For you, this means showcasing what an average week looks like for your Fenland Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
We’ll be sharing updates throughout the week on our Policing Fenland Facebook page if you would like to follow live time the work we are doing.
Don’t worry if you are not on social media as we’ll update you at the end of the week with a summary of what we’ve been working on to make Fenland a safer place.
We’ve got a dedicated neighbourhood page on our website too where you can find out a bit more about your team and raise any concerns you may have.
Further to Council discussion and comments including myself on the proposed new bus shelter on Eastrea road – all has been sorted as can been seen from correspondence from Cll Dee Laws……(Thats of course if there are any buses still operating?)
Reference: New Bus Shelter, Eastrea Road, Whittlesey – supplied by Barratt/David Wilson Homes.
Following my conversation with Adam Tracy, Barratt Group/DWH Project Engineer.
Hopefully, the following has covered all comments and concerns raised at Whittlesey Town Council meeting held on Thursday 19th January 2023.
The location/installation for the new bus shelter West/East and return of the existing bus shelter East to West
The Location for both Bus Shelters – has already been considered, agreed and signed off by Cambridgeshire County Council Road Safety Engineers/Officers.
Confirmation both Bus Shelters will be a 3 x unit structure including panels located at both ends – offering as much weather protection as possible for waiting passengers.
Confirmation both Bus Shelters will be installed in Cambridgeshire County Council land (grass verge) back from the footpath and not intruding on the pedestrian footpath. This will ensure the same width of pedestrian pathway without any obstacles to negotiate for walkers, users of mobility scooters and Mothers/Carers with prams & pushchairs.
The new Bus Shelter West to East will be located as near as possible and within the legal distance of a Toucan Crossing.
The existing Bus Shelter will be returned between the two entrances of ALDI Store and Barratt/DWH Housing Estate.
Hope I have covered everything members raised last week.
Councillor Mrs Dee Laws
Update @ 230124-06:00Z
There was problems with the program in that some with mobile/tablet devices could not register, (I have about 4 such reported back to me).
The results after 24 hours are not convincing either way – that said there doesn’t seem to be a BIG majority in favour of the Relief Road – I remain with an open minded on it either way.
The feedback I am getting after Robin Suttons article (previous posting), is that around 60% feel is it too costly, wait up to 30 years and since the Kings Dyke Bridge, less hold ups.
The 40% say that too many HGV’s passing through our town, the Industrial Estate needs to be accessed in a different way, less pollution.
£200 Million and probably 30+ Years to wait so maybe double the cost.
There are (2) reports here:-
1/ The report on Town Council meeting 19th January 2023
2/ Collated Information : Whittlesey Relief Road Proposal – Robin Sutton.
This is the original version and has not been modified or altered in any way.
It has been converted from a ‘word’ document to a ‘pdf’ file for clarity.
