Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

At tonights WTC meeting, several items may be of interest.
The presentation on development @ 300 Eastrea Road, which may include a new Supermarket (see yesterdays post) and housing….
An update from FDC leader & WTC Cllr Boden on The Saxon Pit issues/concerns.

As I have done for 10 years a basic report on the events will follow in a day or two.
I am the only Councillor who reports back to the consituents/public in this way.

Some may remember this article I wrote in March 2016….Most of which is still relevant today…I did suggest a name for The Bridge and….we shall see if it happenes at next weeks FDC full council meeting….
(read at the end of the article – not bad for March 2016)..

COVID – Message update from Dr Liz Robin Director of Public Health
– Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

At tomorrow night’s meeting of WTC full council (Zoom) there will be a presentation on the development of 300 Eastrea Road Whittlesey.

This address is in front of the Guildenberg Pit/Diving Centre……
The developer ‘David Wilson Homes’ will put the proposed development to those present.

Now..as I hope you are all very aware I do NOT do Rumours/Misinformation/False News…

A lot of business at this meeting…
With 342 pages of associated reports associated with the meeting (Yes I have read most)

Figures obtained from The Office of National Statistics (ONS).
Fenland figures remain relatively high, Whittlesey figures remain the same.
Area’s of Peterborough some up and some down.

On of the main items this evening at WTC Finance & Policy meeting was a short presentation by Cambs Rural Citizen Advice Bureaux. – Whittlesey Town Council has supported the CAB for many years. Although unable to hold physical meeting due to COVID their work supporting our community is just as great as ever.
In the past 9 months they have dealt with 304 individual clients dealing with over 900 different issues. The recommendation from F&P committee is to continue to support the CAB with a financial grant for the next year – this will go to full Council for a vote and ratification.

(I attended this meeting as a member of the public I am not part of this committee)
