Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

The Office will be open to the public from 09:30 Tuesday 29th October.

This afternoon, many of us attended the presentation of The Freedom of the Town’
to Kay Mayor.

Many friends and family were at the presentation made by Mayor of the Council- Cllr Alex Miscandlon.

Some 34 years of public service – both as a Town and District Councillor, also involved in many volunteer community groups and organsiations.

Unfortunately Ken was unable to attend todays event.

The first of 3 events being held was at WTC Offices yesterday, a number of Councillors were present including myself for part of the time.
The organiser informed me that there were just over 100 people attending throughout the period.

It is hoped to launch the ‘Whittlesey’ version of a Repair Cafe – based at The Whittlesey Athletic Football Ground – off Drybread Road.
Ititially supported by the Peterborough Repair Cafe….

On hearing the sad news of Geoff Capes passing away, brought back a few memories.
Around 1975 I had a local policewoman Susan V as a ‘friend’ but never materialised into anything serious, after my return to sea, she then started a brief relationship with Geoff.
(no competition then?)

However in 1997 when a ‘new’ stroke/rehabilitation unit was commissioned at Peterborough Hospital and my wife Connie was the Ward Sister.
The official opening was with Geoff Capes and she was somewhat  surprised at the event.
She was the  Ward Manager/Sister of the Stroke unit for some 23 years.
(1987 – 2010)
