Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

12+ Years – where has the time gone, I am very proud indeed that today will see my 6,000th post on this Web-blog.
It was always my intention to keep the electorate for the area I was elected – informed on a regular basis of what was happening at all levels of Council and the 11 Community Groups I belong and support.

This at residents request expanded outwards to incude Community and other events.
It has never intended to be a newspaper or magazine but an information platform where people can rely on the information being accurate and truthful.
6,000 posts well I’ll be…..

I know – I can guarantee that someone ? will ask – we only hear from you at election time?

It goes without saying too much, that we have several hard working and dedicated Councillors here in Whittlesey, I would ‘hope’ that I’ve been seen as an ‘asset’ as a Town Councillor.
That said we have an individual who can not help himself for the ‘Gaffs’ he keeps making.
I’ve said he could be a potential embarressement – I now say he is….
Having stood at a by-election and won the seat. A year later he didn’t know where the Libary or Buttercross were situated. Forever late at turning up at meetings.
I have a few more incidents which I am saving for later…..

The latest has just been passed to me…

At our meeting someone suggested contacting our councillors about Saxon My old next door neighbour who lives down Stonald Road now retorted” you are having a laugh I asked my councillor what WTC were doing to stop people parking on the double yellows around the roundabout at the co op “  apparently his councillor asked which co op and eventually decided “ oh the co op in Stanground”. Wonder which councillor that was 😂 needless to say everyone thought it was funny except ??? who had raised the issue

I hope that the 30% or so that bother to vote really know something about the candidate that they may let loose on society?

Some people do not like me refering to our misspent youths as ‘feral’ – it is not easy for me to make a statement like this – but why should we have to put up week after week with some form of vandalism in our town.
I and many other community spirited people put a great deal of time, effort and money into making enhancements to our town.
So the ‘hardened youths’ (sorry I must not point a finger) have nothing better to do than have a go at our lovely Christmas Tree – Get a Life….
I do have the answers to misspent youths but our ‘Wokey Society’ doesn’t allow it.

Below are the planned dates (2023) for Whittlesey Town Council – meetings – these dates maybe subject to change.

With some corrections/additions highlighted….

Part #1 hopefully coming over the weekend….technical issues?
