Presentation at the Whittlesey Allotments (New Road) today by Mayor Cllr David Mason and Judged by Mrs Gill Lawrence.
Most peo
ple in a rural/land base area are not interested or aware of the significance of ‘Merchant Navy Day’ –
There were a ‘few’ Whittlesey men and boys who served in both World Wars and other conflicts, however they are not listed on War Memorials.
I was very honoured to visit the National Arboretum last year where the majority of seafarers are listed.
My thanks as usual to The Whittlesey Branch of the Royal British Legion’ who every year fly my ‘Red Duster’ in commenoration of those who lives were lost at sea.
RIP
Almost on a weekly basis – more fly-tipping at The Bathing Bridge off West Delph.
More reported to me today – there is now so much, that Fenland District Council, will have to hire in a lorry with a ‘grabber’ on it in order to remove all fly-tippping- Please if you see anything – report it wither to FDC or the Police on 101 or webchat.
As no one has registered to the Town Clerk as of 14:30 this afternoon, there will be no one attending the Council Offices tomorrow.
It is for security, health and safety reasons that residents have to register with the Town Clerk.
I am on the case….
All removed today – got an issue let me know I will do my best?
As I have posted before most things YOU can deal with yourself – by visiting FDC Web Portal. – https://www.fenland.gov.uk/report
This evenings ad-hoc event was to stimulate some interest in getting some community volunteers to commit towards next years event September 2023.
More about this and other events will follow….
I was there and will be offering my support in some capacity…
