Watercourse Guidance

Posted on December 12, 2022 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Our team has prepared guidance documents for county residents to inform them about their rights and responsibilities in maintaining watercourses. The objectives are to provide detailed information on rights and responsibilities for maintenance, guidance on watercourses, and how to reinstate a piped or culverted watercourse. I have added the link to the press release below for more information. Please share it with your networks and anyone else you think may be interested:
Watercourse guidance will inform Cambridgeshire residents of rights and responsibilities – Cambridgeshire County Council

The Watercourse Guidance covers everything that can affect watercourse maintenance, from birds and bats to hedges, highways, and ancient monuments. There are eight documents available on our website:

Have Your Say – New Reservoir Near Chatteris

Posted on December 11, 2022 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Anglian Water and Cambridge Water announced in October 2022 that
they are proposing to build a large new reservoir (a little smaller than
Grafham Water) in an area north of Chatteris and east of the A141.
• The reservoir is needed to enable sufficient water supplies for future
growth in the region in the face of a changing climate and to avoid
damage to the natural environment.
• A non-statutory public consultation is currently underway to seek views on
the proposed reservoir which closes on 21st December 2022. A link to the
consultation can be found here: https://www.fensreservoir.co.uk/

Other Countries Can Do It – Why Can’t We… Recycle

Posted on December 11, 2022 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Our UK (Enland & Wales) government always appear to be so-so slow in introducing better recycling facilities, I have been campaigning for over 20 years about cans, bottles plastics and polystyrene – bent MP Barclays ears on a number of occasions (mainly deaf ears that is) – the latest I’ve found in most shopping centres in Malaysia as shown in this photo.
Now to be fair, I didn’t see a line of people waiting to deposit their recycles for goodies, but it is a good start, most of Europe is ahead of us.
Yes – I appreciate there are more inportant happening in the world – but this is such a small project which could make a big difference. Vouchers which can be spent on ‘food’

Another BIG Thank You – Volunteers @ Extravaganza 2022

Posted on December 11, 2022 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Volunteers again – I am very proud to be part of them – another very successful afternoon/evening of family entertainment for a very modest nominal charge.
Lots of enjoyment for children and families again this year – 10+ months to organise the event. Sponsors and Whittlesey Town Council all helped.

Fenland Police – Christmas Toy Appeal

Posted on December 10, 2022 by Roy Gerstner Admin

As this year’s Christmas toy appeal comes to a close, I would like to pass on my heartfelt thanks to the wonderfully generous Fenland community for your kind donations.

I would estimate we have received over 2000 gifts this year!

I appreciate just how financially difficult it is at the moment, so to receive the number of gifts we have is overwhelming.
All these gifts will give hundreds of disadvantaged children a present this year that they may not have ordinarily received.

From scooters to games consoles, and board games to clothing, I know these gifts will put a smile on a young person’s face this Christmas.
The attached pictures are just a small sample of what we have received.
Special thanks go to Kelly Riddell the March Tesco community champion for choosing this appeal as her choice of campaign this Christmas, and to Sally and Vikki from Childrens social care for their organisation and distribution of the presents.

Thank you once again and I wish you all a healthy and safe Christmas.
Inspector Morris
Fenland Neighbourhoods.
