NHW News Update #1

Besides quite a lot of ‘vandalism’ here in Whittlesey – sorry to day….

Record number of knives taken off streets as knife murders plummet

Nearly 60,000 knives have been removed from streets in England and Wales through new knife surrender schemes and police operations. The figures come as knife homicides have fallen by almost 20% and knife crime overall has fallen for the first time in 4 years, dropping by 5%. The latest admissions data for NHS hospitals in England and Wales also show a 10% fall in admissions for knife assaults.

Major Planning for A One Off Building In Whittlesey

Disclaimer : I will register that I am pre-determined on this application.
FDC F/YR/26/0597/F

I am a committee member of FDC’s Planning Committee and will not take part should it come to the committee.

You can read ALL the comments, some for and some against.
One issue I have is that ‘many’ in support of the Children s Day Centre do not live anywhere near Church Street/Ramsey Road/Barr Street.

I briefly met the applicants at last nights WTC Planning Committee meeting, I spoke with them and quote ‘Welcome to Whittlesey, we want you, we need more Children’s Day Centre’s you are a very professional company with years of experience – however you’re in the wrong place – I can work with you to find alternative buildings more suitable –

This afternoon I note that Cambridgeshire Highways have no issues with the proposal.
