12:00 today the Bellmans Road junction with A605/Eastrea Road is now back to normal.
Whilst we know shopping has changed dramatically in the past 3 months, local businesses have supported our community in a fantastic way and most survived – but unless ‘we’ help by shopping locally – shops and business will suffer.

The agenda below and a link to the extensive paperwork.
I did drive this road section later this morning and returned late afternoon, all back to ‘norm’ – that being ‘stupid drivers’ breaking their neck trying to overtake trucks and going nowhere as there is plenty of traffic on the road(s).
Most who travel the Ramsey Road towards Ponderbridge know that subsidence on the road, parts have been repaired – but it is FEN soil it dries out and causes the issues.
It would costs ££££Millions to not only sort this road but the 3 parallel roads nearby.
Slow down –
Ambulances – Blue Flashers – 2 vehicles (one on roof) – it was all going too well.
Some are blaming the state of the road – sorry the road condition does not help, but drive to the conditions, not a good road to overtake, – drivers cause most accidents not roads.
My disappointment today that no weight given to many Councillors to have the LHI in Pondersbridge put back a few days – to get the A605 re-opened.
We’ve seen this before – I call it the perfect storm – No practical way to get in/out of Whittlesey – unless you go via March Road/Guyhirn and guess what ‘Road Works’

Several Councillors including myself have had a 2 day exchange of e-mails regarding the bringing forward of this initiative. Under ‘normal’ circumstances everyone would welcome an early start, however with the A605 closed this is not a good idea.
Cambridgeshire Highways have not moved, they plan to start the work on the 10th August (Maybe some prep work before) and it looks like traffic light controls will be in place.
I am waiting to hear back from our County Councillors – but going by this mornings e-mails I don’t hold much hope.
If you have strong views or will be further inconvienienced I suggest you contact Cambs County Council.
Every year, thousands of Students fall victim to theft and scams .. every year they are advised of some issues…..whether they take any notice…

I have written to the Portfolio Holder for Planning @ FDC about various concerns on this meeting. I was also contacted by members of the public who also had comments about the meeting.
