Today we were both honoured and humbled to be present at the memorial service of Cllr Alan Bristow who passed away last year. His son Paul lead the many tributes to Alan.

For Alan, his son becoming the MP for Peterborough was a very proud moment.

Other notable attendee’s were Wayne Fitzgerald leader of Peterborough City Council, Stuart Jackson ex MP for Peterborough, John Peach ex leader of PCC, Chris Boden leader of FDC and our own Mayor Cllr Davis Mason.

Another wonderful family gathering – put on by ‘Volunteers’ from The Whittlesey Extravaganza Group’ – Saturday 11th December – more infornation nearer the date.

In the meantime if you/your group would like to have a ‘Stall’ at the event then please contact me and I will pass your details on.
My details are on the contacts tab at the top….

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.

The public toilets behind ‘The George’ have been out of service for some considerable time.
Councillors have been and are still very much on the case.
As on previous occasions when damage and/or vandalism was carried out – it took a very long (and unacceptable) time to get the repairs done.
‘We’ have been promised that work to repair the toilets will start next week.
(The Disabled Toilet has been in full operation)

The picture below shows damage to one of the toilets and was probably caused by water ingress. The other two toilets suffered the same effect but not to the same extent of damage.
