Disclaimer – Whittlesey Town Council are consultees only on planning matters.
Actual decisions are made either at Fenland District or Cambs County Councils.

On the agenda is a planning application (Cambs County Council) for a recycling plant at Saxon Pit by Johnsons Aggregates.
I have made it public previously that the Johnsons application is a very well  and professional application and my and residents concerns are on planning matters only.
I have made many postings and updates on this web-blog in the past.

There has been some significant changes to the previous application after residents and my own represetations on the consultation.

If you have any concerns about this application a urge you to contact your own Councillor prior to this meeting – your Councillor can be found on WTC Website :-
