Some Good Events to Look Forward To….

‘If’ the Governments restrictions ‘ease’ after the 19th July, many local groups/volunteers and Whittlesey Town Council are hoping to put on events in/around our area.

There will be ‘Music – on – the – Square’ – Sunday 08th August
There will be ‘The Coates Village Fete’  – Saturday 11th September
There will be WSA – The BIG BASH’ – Sunday 12th September
There will be ‘The Christmas Extravaganza’ – Saturday 11th December

All the above events are being supported or sponsored in some way by WTC.
I believe there will be many more smaller events – if you let me know I will advertise it.

What Matters To You When It Comes To Local Policing?

What matters to you when it comes to local policing?

As your Police and Crime Commissioner, one of my first roles is to produce a Police and Crime Plan which sets policing and crime priorities in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for the next 3 years.

It is important to me that the final plan reflects the concerns, views and lived experiences of local people from across our county.

Please take the time to have your say in my short survey.
www.cambridgeshire-pcc.gov.uk

Your views will help inform the final content of the Plan which will be available in the Autumn.

Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

Full Planning Application – Johnson Aggregates – Saxon Pit

Please take note :- This application has nothing what-so-ever to do with The East Midlands Waste ‘Issues & Concerns’ that have been extensively covered here previously.

This ‘full planning application’ is at Cambridgeshire County Council they are the responsible authority in respect to Minerals & Waste.

https://planning.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/online-applications/

Previously – well advertised and promoted on this web-blog was the statutory consultation
where some 170 individuals sent responses to CCC.

Please read the below document carefully, in essence, all previously comments/objections are still in place and will be considered if valid on Planning Grounds.

What is being asked for now is comments and/or objections on ‘Regulation 25’ (Environmental Impact Assessment).

One other important change to this ‘full application’ is that the applicant is looking to process 250,000 tonnes of incinerator bottom end ash’ – this was previously 500,000

I would encourage anyone with concerns to make their views known by writing to CCC/email or web portal or to contact their own Councillor to lobby on your behalf.
This planning application will be on the agenda of a Whittlesey Town Council Planning Committee. WTC are consultee’s only on planning matters.

You are welcome to contact me, however I am inundated with correspondence concerning Saxon Pit and it may take some considerable time for me to respond to you.
