Most will have noticed the reintroduction of Traffic Signals on The Ottermans Corner with Market Street/Broad Street.
I understand that they will be there for weeks rather than days, whilst work is carried out on the building.
During a recent meeting at New Queen Street Surgery, the practice was asked whether they would be taking part in the forthcoming booster vacination program.
It was stated they would not be taking part, as they are concentrating on getting both NQS and Stanground back running to some normality.
With the rollout of the Booster Jab program – those who are eligible.
I have no information as whether The Jenner Health Centre is taking part.
It looks like I will be the only ‘platform’ to counter the very damaging false/fake post on a Whittlesey Facebook site by a Mrs Smith on behalf of her daughter.
I am not going into all the specific details, but serious allegations were made in respect of New Queen Street Surgery’s handling of the case/incident.
Mrs Smith has made false and misleading allegations, when I and others became aware on Wednesday evening of the post, we were also concerned that ‘if’ true’ then there were potential failing at NQS.
The incident was looked into by the Practice Manager, who has access to all voice recordings of telephone conversations.
Without breaking any patient confidentiality he has stated that the comments made by Mrs Smith are not true.
This has caused severe ‘Trolling’ by people who I would have hoped would know better – but it hasn’t and this and similar false statements about NQS does not instill confidence in the practice or its staff.
If Mrs Smith allegations were true there is a very rubust system in place to make complaints – and not on allegations posted on Facebook.
I hope that I have gone someway to clear up this mess…..
If anyone has any questions I am more than happy to be contacted.

Today I had the great pleasure of meeting Ex 3rd Engineer Jack Bell, who came to visit me here in Whittlesey.
Jack was the 3rd Engineer on the London Valour when it floundered off Genoa in 1970.
We spent agood 5 hours (some in Wetherspoons) catching up with many names and memories of the 1970’s.
Jack – now well into his 70’s he well and lives in St Ives (Huntingdonshire).

At last evenings Community Focus Group meeting….Youth Club
Whittlesey are ‘asking’ for a Youth Club for somewhere to go…!!!!
I attended the very last meeting, (some years ago) when Youth Services and Councillors
(2 of us) tried to keep the Whittlesey Youth Club open, some 60 or so parents were invited – None that’s Zero – turned up. The Youth Club closed down.
There is a new Community Based Group, The Whittlesey Community Focus Group, which I am a member of and includes other Councillors, Cambs CC and Health Services amongst some.
They have carried out a recent survey (limited numbers) this is being looked into, of course it will need funding and a shed full of ‘Risk Assessments’ and others concerns – so it is someway off I would imagine.
