Travellers @ Whittlesea Railway Station – Car Park
The swift removal has been achieved by the good communication & relationship between Fenland District Council Travellers Officer, David Bailey and the Railway Police.

I’ve done the survey – I invite you to do the same…..
A short survey (about 2/3 minutes maximum)
Cambridgeshire Road Safety Partnership Survey.
This survey could have a big influence on how ‘Cambridgeshire’ priorities its services,
I was a little confused as a couple of the questions had no relationship with road safety!!!
The Cambridgeshire Road Safety Partnership are undertaking a review of local Road Safety governance, strategy and delivery.
To this end they have commissioned a survey to gain an insight in to the concerns, needs and desires of the people of the county.
The survey is open for a relatively short period of time and they would like as many people as possible to complete it. To help with this, can you please:
* Complete the survey yourself
* Promote the survey as widely and as often as possible within the county
The link to the survey, which closes on 6th February, is

Many thanks for your help in this matter,
The Cambridgeshire Road Safety Partnership.

Back to Zebra One…(Again)
I’ve received a couple of complaints about the ‘Zebra Crossing’ at the junction of High Causeway/Eastgate. In 2018 (before I was re-elected) I highlighted the problem/issue to our CC Cllr David Connor – who to be fair did follow this up on several occasions.
It took 8 months to get ‘some’ paint put on our ‘Zebra’s’ – with all the usual excuses…
Cost/Surveyed/Wet Weather/Too Cold/Wrong Time of the Year…. 8 Months….
18 months later the same issue has returned…..So I/we now start the process off again – remember it is January and ‘Cold’ – Maybe just maybe it will take a ‘little’ less time to fix – Please….
Below the current state of The Zebra and as it was in August 2018

Get Ready for Further Disruption…
Further to my posting of the 15h January – Severe Disruption Is Coming….
https://roygerstner.co.uk/2020/01/15/severe-disruption-is-coming/
The B1095 is to be closed in and around Peterborough for four weeks as works progress on ending a notorious bottleneck.
The road will be closed all day every day from the junction with the A605 Whittlesey Road, beginning on Monday, February 17, with traffic diverted through Farcet.
This is due to a scheme to install a designated lane to turn right on the A605 towards Pondersbridge.
4 weeks from 17th February….be prepared for a lot more traffic along Ramsey Road/Church Street & Peterborough Road.

OUR STORY…
In 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was stabbed in New York outside her apartment. Two weeks after the murder it was rumoured that 38 witnesses saw or heard the attack, but none of them called the police or came to her aid.
This motivated a community response and the very first Neighbourhood Watch scheme was set up in New York, and in 1982 the first UK scheme was set up in Mollington, Cheshire.
From there we grew from strength to strength. Neighbourhood Watch representatives formed local, and wider, structured groups.
In 2007, with the support of the police and the Home Office, the umbrella organisation for the movement, now known as Neighbourhood Watch Network, was established. Our focus was on building local Neighbourhood Watch community groups which liaised with the Police and focused on reducing burglary and other home and personal crimes.
Today we live in un-predictable and ever-changing times. With the transformation on how people use the internet, communities are no longer restricted to geographical locations, and crime has taken on new forms.
To ensure we remain relevant when the pace of change is faster than at any time in our past we have taken steps to ensure Neighbourhood Watch as a charity is in a strong and trusted position to support Neighbourhood Watch groups and individuals who wish to wish to build connected and resilient communities to reduce crime in all its shapes and forms across England and Wales.
Since 2016 we have modernised our logo, changed our name to Neighbourhood Watch Network, introduced inspiration pages for our members, developed partnerships that help our members be at the forefront of preventing crime, and are now in the process of launching a brand-new website to deliver easy to find and engaging toolkits, resources, campaigns and news to our supporters.
We are supporting communities with knowledge and tools to tackle not only traditional crimes but also future crimes.
Whittlesey & District NHW current team have been running for 10+ years.
I am priveledged to have been their Chairman for the past 8+ years with a very good committee support.
If you want to become a better neighbour then why not join with the largest volunteer organisation in England.
Have a look at our excellent Website full of lots of useful information.
