What more can be said, a BIG thanks to Robert Windle and his ‘team’ of volunteers (including myself in a small way), made today an excellent day out for all.
No pictures as far too much going on.
The Golden Age Fair went well and our ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ team had some intrest in several initiatives we have including the Good Dog Walkers Scheme.
Who knows, with the success of yesterdays Coates Village Fete and todays event, maybe they will become annual events…..
Today @ 11:55 Whittlesey War Memorial – The celebration service to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of The Royal British Legion.
MP Steve Barclay, Mrs Caroline Bewes DL High Sheriff in attendance.
9/11/2011 the day the world changed. Terrorist attacks using 4 aircraft to destroy buildings in the US. I was on a ship entering the Naval Dry-Docks in Baltimore (MA), within minutes the whole of the vast naval yards were under lock-down. It was less than 200 miles to New York and only about 40 miles to Washington where the Pentagon was under attack.
Our – Drydocking went ahead with some delays, but there were very strick protocols getting off the ship and in/out of the facilities. I only went ashore twice in the two weeks we were there.
A good time had by all, except for the idiot thowing a ‘wellington’ around, could have hit a child easily. Everyone else was there for a good social get-together. Congratulations to the organisers of this years ‘Coates Village Fete’ which brought back happy memories of years past. The weather stayed warm and dry.
Coates Village Fete 2021It is such a great shame that we have lost so many tree’s and here in Fenland there is very little enthusiasm for any small/medium re-planting – plenty of ‘talking’ – Whittlesey Town Council has recently been given 5 Japanese Cherry Tree’s from MP Stephen Barclay and will be planted hopefully soon.
Connie & I will be planting 6 more tree’s through our donations to The Woodland Trust.

| We’re warning people to be vigilant after cold callers targeted an elderly and vulnerable woman who then paid more than £1000 for unnecessary work.
The woman was called by a ‘home savings’ company offering boiler services, citing better energy efficiency and a £500 saving. She was then quoted a price of £1,200 for a boiler flush, and was visited at her home in Peterborough by men who hit her radiators with hammers and showed her bottles supposedly containing dirty remnants/water from the radiators. The woman was then presented with a card machine and paid the money. As the colder part of the year approaches, please remain wary of similar calls and remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you aren’t expecting to hear from a salesperson or business, be cautious of your dealings with them. Do not feel pressured into handing over money or bank account details to pay for a product or service that you weren’t planning to buy before they called or arrived at your door. For more advice and information on fraud and cold callers, visit the force’s dedicated web pages by clicking here. Thank you, |
I’m Emma Rourke and I lead the Health Analysis and Pandemic Insight team here at the Office for National Statistics.
| Together, in collaboration with the University of Oxford and Professor Sarah Walker, Chief Investigator for the survey, and the Department of Health and Social Care, we are responsible for the COVID-19 Infection Survey.
I would like to begin with a huge thank you for your continued participation in the CIS. Without the critical information you provide from your swab and blood tests, the Government would not have had the evidence to make key decisions over the past year. And it is the data you provide to us which will continue to help us navigate infections into the winter and ahead to next year. With restrictions having eased and social lives returning, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the CIS is winding down, or the data from the survey is of less use than at the height of the pandemic a few months ago. In fact, the survey is more vital than ever. Every single person taking part in this study – and there are over 400,000 of you – is critically important to our picture of the nation. As more of the UK population get vaccinated, tracking the impact of the vaccines, and the protection they give against catching the virus, reducing the severity of infection and onward transmission is a key priority. We need to continue to learn as much as possible about COVID-19 infection and antibody levels in the community population. By continuing to participate you are providing essential information about how long antibodies remain in our bodies after vaccination. This will contribute to government decisions about whether or not ‘booster’ shots are needed. We don’t underestimate the effort you continue to make, which is why I would like to personally thank you for your support. |
