Sue T will be by The Buttercross this morning – 10:00 – 12:00
Holding a Poppy Appeal stall.
I repeat this mesage as been asked questions, most will have read the article in our local magazines which have just been delivered, for those who do not recieve them here is the message regarding ‘Remembrance Day’
Remembrance - Mayors Message November 2020
With the Town Clerk incapacitated, having a small operation, in order that our Town Council Offices are available to the public – a number of Councillors including myself have covered Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
It has been enlightening in what ‘vistors/public’ have bought to our attention – nothing unexpected and mostly we have been either able to answer – or know where to get the answers. Today was my 4th engagement.
The Town Clerk (Sue) is making good progress in her recovery and it is hoped she will be returning to her normal duties shortly.
Next week (Monday, Wednesday & Friday) will be covered by a Town Councillor.
Yesterday a person from Peterborough was arrested for using someone else’s bank card. This occured in Whittlesey by the Bus Stop on Grosvenor Road.
When searched the person was found to be carrying a knife.
Please be aware of people around you….especially people unknown to you.
Good news on death rate – Not so good on infection rate rising.

Data from the government shows that Longthorpe and Netherton had the highest number of positive tests with 31 in the seven days ending on October 22.
West Town and Woodston had 20, while Fengate and Parnwell had 19
In total in Peterborough there were 259 cases, which is below the national average.
Meanwhile, North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust has confirmed there have been more deaths connected to COVID.
Caroline Walker, Chief Executive, for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said: “I can confirm that sadly, 275 patients being cared for in our Trust have passed away since we began reporting Covid-19-related deaths. There have been 106 at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and 169 at Peterborough City Hospital. All patients were aged 30 to 98 years old and had pre-existing health conditions.
“Our thoughts and condolences remain with the patients’ families and loved ones at this difficult time.”
The highest number of cases recorded in the Peterborough area was Longthorpe and Netherton: 31 cases
Disclaimer : – I do no longer own a Hybrid Vehicle
Looking for an Electric Charge Point for a Hybrid Vehicle in Fenland is like looking for water in a desert….
I understand there was an informal presentation given to FDC’s Cabinet recently the decision was that – the Council currently has no proposals to install EV charge points within our car parks.
When neighbouring Peterborough and Hunts are way ahead – there are many here locally who own Hybrid/EV who would benifit.
The Government is throwing £Millions at subsidising the installation costs.
Whilst I fully understand that EV Charging points are low on the priority of Council business at present – Fenland is again being left behind – a very short sighted vision.
