Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

I understand that campaign leaflets have started to be distributed in the Whittlesey NW Ward, asking electors of their concerns.

We’ve been here before, with certain hopefulls (who were elected) promising ‘everyone’ they spoke too, that ‘they’ would sort out their problem/issues – have they !!! No….

If I lived in that ward, my question would be ‘Why 6 of the Councillors listed below have all resigned in the past 5 years’…

With the recent debacle “(a sudden and disastrous failure or collapse, often one that is chaotic or embarrassing)” another conservative councillor from Whittlesey Town/District Council (Elisabeth Sennitt-Clough), who 2 weeks had a scathing article published on the CambsTimes™  resigning her position.

Someone asked  – who were the other councillors that have departed for what is ‘claimed’ similar reasons (not all but most)….

Elisabeth Sennitt Clough.    
Kay Mayor.
Ray Whitwell.                    
Simon Black.                 
David Mason.                     
Julie Windle.                   
Dave Davies.
Luke Mason. (lasted less than 6 months)
Victoria Lang Whiston. (Attended very few meetings)

9 resignations (ALL Conservative Councillors) in the past 6 years – surely this is embarrassing in anyones language.

Asking around, possible would be candidates (all political and independents) 
many local people ‘we’ speak too are actually afraid of even standing for election because of what they have seen, heard or witnessed –
(remember the recent walkout of many of the public at a Whittlesey Town Council meeting).

On a personal note I might add, that I’ve never been subjected to bullying or intimidation from any other Councillor, that said ‘we’ all get ‘abused verbally’ by members of the public on occasion.
Trying to to the best for our electorate is not as easy as many think.

Could you do better – why not put up….

R15+ years I’ve been an active member of Whittlesey Street Pride, another great group of Volunteers supported by Fenland District Council, and I was Chairman for 6 years, overseeing most of the gateway projects which still exsist and are still sponsored by local businesses.

A really good attendance by 20 members who collected in total 37 bags of litter plus a bag of cans for Eamonn.

The largest item being a lorry tyre from the Bower, thanks to Daniel and Alan it was retrieved and brought back .

The next litter pick will be on Saturday 4th October – 10am – The Kings Delph Truck Stop – meet in this layby.

Daniel & Alan with that tyre, but where is the rest of the lorry

(RG Note : As a ‘paperboy’ in 1965 the Bassenhally Farm (Farmer Stephenson Snr) was my last delivery on my way to school) (The Paper-Round is another story).

Bassenhally Farm land in Whittlesey sold to  developer.

The last piece of land belonging to a Whittlesey farm has been sold to a developer, looking to build a care home.

The parcel of land on Eastrea Lane was originally part of the Bassenhally Farm, which was owned by Cambridgeshire County Council.

However, most of the land, which originally spanned 48 acres, has been sold by the council in four phases over the past 11 years – in 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023, for a total of £10million.

A report to the county’s assets and procurement committee meeting on Tuesday explained additionally that a lease was granted to Coates Crusaders for new football pitches, and in 2015, a 125-year lease was issued to a developer to construct 60 extra care apartments.
