Cllr Boden Gave a Message To CCC

Not only the leader of Fenland District Council, a Whittlesey Town Councillor and Cambs County Councillor, he has other positions elsewhere and numberous committee appointments – experienced and knowledgable –

He should have well known how his presentation about getting more money allocated for highways was going to go – that is nowhere….the £Million or so he was hoping to secure, would have made very little difference to our roads.

The problem is not now or recent, it stems from Governments for the past 50 years, 
milking the motorist and not putting enough back….
Then of course yet another vain project HS2 – Billions and Billions of wasted money – ruin many woodlands on the way…. and remember this it was Labour & Gordon Brown and his cabinet came to approve HS2 in the first place in 2010 thats already 16 years ago.

So give Boden his due, he put a ‘political’ case knowing that the ‘broken’ highways within not only our area but throughout the country was a dead duck…. (no disrespect to ‘ducks’)
HS2 Failure

Ghosting – Bad Highways Again & Again

A Step Forward In Saving Our Local Heritage

I was a member and treasurer of the Whittlesey Mud Walls Group, until the numbers dwindled to just 5 of us, we handed the project back to The Whittlesey Society.

Pothole(s) – Some Attempt To Fix 1 or 2….


Sorry to say looks a pretty poor job to me……


Thanks to RB @ Eastrea.

I and many other Councillors agree that Cambs Highways has been unfit for purpose for many years and runs a dysfunctional department.
It is our County Councillors who engage primarily with CCC Highways.

I can well understand the publics anger at what looks like to be sub standard repairs.
Stop blaming the weather, the ice, the snow….get out of your Glass Palace(s) and see what is going on in the real world.

The Romans had potholes, the US had massive potholes during the Stagecoach era,
and many suffered permanant bone and skeletal issues.

Flood Warning No Longer In Force

More rain coming so don’t expect it will last for long….

North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice. 
The situation is improving and no further flooding is expected in this area.  
Flood warnings and alerts may still be in force for surrounding areas. 
The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.

So How Come Cambridge Gets Bollards and We Don’t

For more years than I can count (at least 12), ‘we’ have been trying to make safe and secure
High Causeway in Whittlesey, after (at least 12 years) we put our final case to Cambs CC Highways for a LHI (local highways improvement) on ‘Safety Concerns’ – As good as rejected, even though there was and is a strong case….so how come Cambridge gets….
I don’t know…

Parking bays could be removed and bollards restricting through-traffic installed on Sidgwick Avenue in Cambridge to help improve safety.
The move would provide more space for pedestrians and wheelchair users and make the road safer for cyclists.
Currently more than 70 per cent of people using Sidgwick Avenue walk or wheel but around 250 pedestrians or wheelchair users are being forced off the path and out into the road on average each day.
