Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Whittlesey Town Council are consultee’s in planning matters, their recommendations go to Fenland District Council, who are the planning authority.
These notes are NOT the official minutes of the meeting.

Disclaimer : I am a member of FDC’s Planning Committee, I take no part in Whittlesey Town Council Planning Committee, I sometime attend their meetings as a memb of the public.

Peterborough is different to Fenland – it is a city with a diverse population, its politics change from election to election, both at national and local levels.

That said, I dare say many Fenland Councillors will be watching with interest, as I will also.
My plans are not yet decided, I would very much like to carry on my ‘Community Work’.

Deliver small but significant projects each election
(Picnic Benches, Fishing Platforms and The Platinum Wood Project) –

However age and health come into play – wait and see….
‘Who upsets me’ may make me change my intentions?

A very long time in coming, and much work done by just a few individuals lobbying for the benifit of all affected nearby residents.
From my reading, there appears now to be a reasonable robust system in place as far as testing, monitoring, and enforcement (if needed). However Saxongate have issued their own questions and views (below).
Warning, the document attached here will take at least 20 minutes to read and absorb.
Part 2 Coming next will be the actual EA Newsletter…also 20 minutes to read.

恭喜發財 – Ghostings.

I’ve run this web-blog for nearly 15 years, and it does cost me money/yearly.
But I consider it my duty to keep especially the residents and electorate in my area Whittlesey South informed.

I could of course place adverts and try and recoup some costs, but I will not be doing that.
Thank you for visiting and your support.
RG.
