Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

The first results from Census 2021 in England and Wales will be released on 28 June. The population and household estimates from the decennial survey will guide the planning of local and national services we all rely on. But they are just the first brushstrokes of the detailed picture of the nation we will paint over coming months and years, a picture which will get richer and more detailed as we go. Here Jen Woolford explains what you can expect from the first results and how we have reached this stage.

Whether it be the latest damage to Tree’s within our Green areas or the latest damage to our nice picnic benches we installed (at great expense) the area’s are a distance apart which would suggest more than one individual or group involved which is even more disturbing – I wonder if the parents of these responsible are aware of what is happening – I doubt it….

Advertised for Thursday the first Ukrainian Community Hub was a success according to Hub Co-ordinator Cara-anne McDowell, I spent around 1½ hours at the Whittlesey Queen Street Church finding out about the new arriving families here in Whittlesey.
They are being housed and looked after by ‘Volunteer Hosts’ (Nationwide) and the two families I met had arrived this week, one via Stansted and one driving via Poland.
The hosts will be helping the families settle in.
The Hub will begin English lessons and arrange for health checks.
The Hub will meet every two weeks begining 26th May (no meeting 02nd June).
If you are intrested in supporting or helping in anyway please contact.

Being an Ex Coates boy – I have fond memories as a boy of the Village Green(s).

Fun, Frolics & Entertainment for all…..Well the weather just right and the rain stayed away. No doubt bigger and getting better, remember only in its 2nd year.
Most people turned up after 1pm and by 2pm pretty busy, after 4pm most starting to drift away.
Congratulations to the organisers for a wonderful ‘Village Fete’

Below last years frolics….
