horney to Whittlesey Road to the South of the River NeneFor nearly 10 months our Council workers have carried on regardless, Lilly & his partner keep our town and surrounding area’s as clean as possible, our Binmen have carried on and today it was good to see the Road-Sweeper doing his best…and of course all the support staff at FDC…Thank You.
Heavy rain that has fallen over the River Nene catchment over the last week, means that the Whittlesey Wash flood storage reservoir is being operated to protect nearby communities from flooding. The rising levels in the Wash have resulted in flooding of the B1040 road. Whilst the Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority may close the B1040 for safety reasons. Diversionary routes will be put in place, and further updates will be available through local media. This Flood Warning is expected to stay in force for a few days, until water levels recede. Please follow diversionary routes until the Local Authority re-open the road. We will be closely monitoring the situation, and this message will be updated on Thursday, 28th January, or as the situation changes.To clarify…this impending application is for an additional operation by a different

(RG – When I questioned Mr Medd towards the end of ‘Lock-Down 1’ on how many enforcement fines for some 200 reported breaches of the rules there had been –
Answer 0000000 – Zero)
Firstly please may I assure you the 200 reports of non-compliances were initial reports to the Council that were investigated, they were not confirmed breaches of legislation or guidance. It was really positive these reports were received as it shows the trust customers, staff and businesses have that the council will respond and offer support. I hope I can add some context to those numbers though.
Fenland Neighbourhood Police have issued 5 fines over last weekend for breaches of COVID regulations….
Anne informs me that the Whittlesey Community Car Scheme is still very much helping and supporting our area, the ‘Fantastic Volunteers’ are still taking residents for Hospital appointments – they are operating reduced service.
For those who find it difficult to pay the nominal fee there is help available (contact me and I’ll pass on the details)
