Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

For quite some considerable time, some work carried out by ‘contractors’ for Cambs County Council, has not been good, in fact some say they are not fit for purpose….
Only this week highlighted on local TV News and the same excuses from the LibDeb portfolio holder for transport.
Below is an poor example along Blackbush Drove and again no excuse it not being a major road.

(Tar sprayed over 2 metres into the grass) (cracks still left for water to enter)

(More Tar damage – Crack again not filled in)

(Tar damaged and Pot Hole left?)

Plenty more photo’s.

I understand that after several complaints by a resident, and escalated by Cllr Laws and myself Highways Engineer has summoned the contractors to meet with him.

I have met some who think that the event(s) are a waste of money and have run their course, but for ‘most’ of the some 500 or so who attend these – ‘free’ events, and my understanding enjoy the day with partners and children, right in the centre of our town.

Below are the ‘provisional dates’ for next year..

Music on The Square.

Sunday 14th June.

Sunday 12th July.

Sunday 09th August.

Coates – Music on North Green.

Sunday 23rd August.

(dates maybe subject to changes)

Having received an e-mail earlier this week –

Good morning,

This is just a meetings reminder to ensure we have a sufficient number of members present to transact business.

Monday 18^th August – Planning Committee @ 6.30pm

Monday 18^th August – Community Projects @ 7.30pm

Reminder members are required in advance to submit apologies to the Chairman (Planning Committee , Cllr Alex Miscandlon & Community Projects Committee, Cllr Barry Wainwright) and copy the Temporary Proper Officer, Councillor Chris Boden.

If a Councillor is unable to attend a meeting, it falls to the committee member to nominate a substitute in advance but they must submitt the name prior to the meeting to the Temporary Proper Officer and copy the Chairman of the committee.

The exception is Councillor Roy Gerstner having nominated Councillor Eamonn Dorling at June’s full council meeting to cover in his absence at Community Project Committee meetings.  Members agreed unanimously.

Thank you,
Kind regards,
Dee
Councillor Mrs Dee Laws

This was reported tonight…..

The Whittlesey branch of the RBL, generously donated ‘a tree’ to commemorate the ‘Platinum Jubilee of the late QEII’ in 2022, the tree is a ‘White Willow’ and as of Friday
is developing very well.
The ‘Platinum Wood’ is a Whittlesey Town Council project at the end of Yarwells Headland. (see map below) – A developing environmental area to walk and sit in peace and quiet.
Like to help in anyway, please to contact Cllr Eamonn Dorling. (details on Councillors contacts – on top toolbar).
