Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Please see investigations into the ‘odour and smell’ issues emanating from the Saxon Pit area. I have been contacted by around 20 people over the last few days.

1/ On contacting the Area Manager for the EA, he informed me that upon being made aware of the odours from the Saxon Pit area, he visited the site on Friday afternoon.

He identified, that the odours were not emanating from the remedial work being carried out at the Saxon pit site.

However he did identify that the smells could be  coming from a company called A W Jenkinson, who process wood and other products within the Saxon Site.
Unfortunately the type of materials AWJ are processing do not come under the remit of the EA.

2/ The EA Manager passed all the information onto the Environmental Services at Fenland District Council.
I have spoken with the Senior Environmental Officer and she has one of her team on site today

Naturally when there are smells or issues coming from the area, the EA is normally the first port of call, however,
I would also encourage you and anyone else to report it to Fenland District Council.

Scroll down to 4^th from the bottom and fill in the details.

The whole of the Saxon Pit site has a ‘Waste Minerals’ licence.
There are several companies operating under different licences.

Keep reporting please.

With regards,

My thanks to the Whittlesey Rotary Club, who donated some 800 Crocus Bulbs to me.
They have been planted in communal areas within Whittlesey.
Some 200 went to ‘In Bloom’ and they will plant them in their projects in Whittlesey.

Only my 2nd Quiz this year and with some different friends – this week we came 3rd out of 10 teams so looks like we’re slowly getting better – Last night in aid of St Andrews Church.

24th October The Walk To Remember on behalf of the ‘Sue Ryder Hospice’ took place.
