Neighbourhood Police More Patrols…..
Evening patrols to combat ASB in Whittlesey.
When we attended the Community Safety Partnership event at Whittlesey Library a few weeks ago, one of the points raised by those who attended was wanting a more visible police presence in the town, especially in areas that were reported as having high levels of anti-social behaviour (ASB).
One of these areas was St Mary’s Church grounds, where we have spent some time during our late shifts talking to those we saw about any issues and the work we are doing in the area.
We will continue to be out on the streets when we can, even if you don’t see us, it doesn’t mean we aren’t there. If you do spot us, feel free to stop and say hi as we’d love to chat to you!
In order to continue tackling ASB in the area, we need your reports to help us identify key areas and those causing the issues. You can report to us online here.

Blistering Music Event
Last one for this year. My thanks and I am sure many, for Ex Cllr Ray Whitwell, who is retiring from the organising committee along with a couple of other volunteers.
Hopefully a ‘new’ group of volunteers will step up to organise Music on the Square events for next year –
I hope to be part of it.
I think a near record attendance of around 500, which is very close to the capacity we are allowed to have.

Someone Said To Me…….?
Oh I forgot to mention, the very recent £10,000+ Fishing Platform Project for young people and disabled children at the Manor – organised by Friends of The Manor and Whittlesey Sports Association – Funded without any Council monies.
“What a Dump Whittlesey was.”
I’m sorry I completely disagree – a few dozen of wonderful volunteers, put on FREE events every year.
I am extremely proud to have been part of Street Pride for over 15 years, and its Chairman for 6 of those years removing ‘TONS’ of litter and rubbish.
Built and maintained 5 Gateway Projects, the tidy up of a grot spot at Church Street which we know as The Rose Garden.
The evolving QEII Jubilee Wood, and I could go on.
Our In Bloom Group with lovely Planters around the Town, they all need watering and looking after.
Not everything is by any means perfect, but the ‘few’ who are making the difference is what I am proud to be part of.
And let us not forget – How our Council(s) and Voluteers supported the community during COVID – Some have very short memories.
Below – just a snap shot of the few examples……
The Rose Garden @ Church Street was a piece of derelict land – StreetPride got permission to clear it up. There are 38 Rose Tree’s and it is maintained by just 2 people at present.
Ramsey Road Gateway Project – Another StreetPride Project.
A really good morning at Stonald Road / Crossway Hand. We had 18 members collecting 23 bags plus some dubious metal work associated with home cultivation and a suitcase with the appropriate keys attached.
The next litter pick will be on Saturday 24th August – 10am – Manor Field – meet in the car park Pool end. Thanks PD.
