Not quite as exciting as what is happening nationally – but here is our local news….
At last nights (Wednesday) WTC Community Projects meeting, one of the main topics discussed was next years events – Music on the Square, a proposal is that one of the events would join/complement The BIG BASH scheduled to take place 18th June 2023
Also debated was the posibility of holding other Music events at Coates and/or Feldale.
The possibility of a Continental Market is still being looked into.
One of the main planning applications last night was that of ‘The Monastery’ – Market Street, planned to now be converted into flats/accommodation.
The building is within Whittlesey conservation area and has within it some ‘paintings’ on the walls which has been documented previously.
I read (part) of the updated Heritage Statement for the record of the minutes.
The wall paintings to the first floor of 9C are to have an updated condition survey. Following this survey maintenance plan will be formed to govern how the paintings will be conserved during the works on going. This will include any necessary cleaning and conservation, as well as proposals for covering the paintings, to be undertaken at the time of the works, and how the paintings should be accessed following occupation of the dwellings. All proposals to be agreed with Conservation Officer before commencement of works.
