Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

24th October The Walk To Remember on behalf of the ‘Sue Ryder Hospice’ took place.
So far, Walk to Remember Peterborough has raised over £28,000 🎉

This will help us continue to be there for families when it matters – providing end of life care and bereavement support in our hospices and out in the community.
We can’t thank you enough 💙

Thank you Perkins Engines Company Limited

The biggest thank you to our Walk to Remember – Peterborough sponsor, Perkins Engines Company Limited for their wonderful support of this year’s event.

For this weekend’s closure of East Delph/B1040

More coming tomorrow….

I estimate some 60+ U3A Members attended at Police Education meeting this afternoon.
Touching briefly on various subjects including Cyber-Crime and People Trafficing.
One member asked what about a Police Station for Whittlesey –

What looked like Fly-Tip may have been a clearout, was removed by 16:00 this afternoon.

I am told that there is a lot of comment on social media, I have brought this and other concerns re buildings in/around town to tonights Full Town Council meeting (Agenda) – I am informed that Cllr Dee Laws will bring us all up to date  and will naturally when I make my normal report on the Council meeting.

Nearly a year in planning – This year’s Whittlesey Extravaganza is very well advanced.

Saturday 11th December – In and around The Market Place.

Thanks to all the committee who have worked very hard to get this years event organised.

This morning – Contractors installing three way temporary traffic lights – Hallcroft Road, Plough Road & A605 – close proximity to West End Stores.
Work hadn’t started but traffic queued back to Sir Harry Smith’s entrance, Cemetery Road & Kellyvision roundabouts grid locked.
Drivers couldn’t see if there is an emergency ie water flooding the road or any gas signs but only the contractors standing around watching the chaos and didn’t appear to have any urgency to start work .. this just added fuel to the fire !
Usual permit for street works – hours of work between 9.30am – 3.00pm/4.00pm, especially along A605.

No one at Whittlesey Town Council had been informed of these works, I can only presume they were of an emergency of some type.
This afternoon around 16:00 the traffic at Kellyvision was normal but I could see ‘Orange Flashing Lights at West End. The issues would be at peak periods.

There has been comments about the ‘new’ Inter-active’ Signage being ‘Blank’ no information – as is usual it is only as good as the people controlling the Inter-Active Signs.
