The Toilet Debate
For as long as I can remember our toilets in Whittlesey have been vandalised.
At one stage during the early 70’s we had 6 or 7 public toilets in town.
As they became more vandalised, Fenland District Council shut them down.
There is no legal obligation for Councils to provide toilet facilities.
Eventually all 4 market towns within Fenland had just one refurbished toilet facility each.
Recently Wisbech Town Council have earmarked £30,000+ per year to run and maintain the toilet facilities at Horsefair Shopping Centre – with very limited hours of manned opening.
If the continued vandalism carries on – it is only a matter of time that toilets become uneconomical to run and maintain.
Yes many go the The George – but they may well clamp down on non customers using their facilities.

Saturday a Sad Day For Whittlesey
Freemans Butchers located centre/left Looking east on the March Road in Coates in 1937 Not sure if the shop was there in 1937 with a horse drawn delivery taking place at The Vine public house on the distant right.

Family business that goes back 3 generations – I did meet ‘Wilf Freeman’ when I was at primary school in Coates – besides his butcher business he sold a few items out of his freezer… an ‘Ice Lolly’ @ 1d (old money) – he slaughtered and butchered most of his own meat.
Son David delivered meat on his ‘Butchers Bike’ and some years later delivered all over the area from his mobile butchers van.
David and the girls opened up their shop in High Causeway at the end of the 1980’s
This leaves only J. Jones (which is no longer in family hands) as traditional local butchers.
