Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

From and still humbled, the engagement I’ve had over the last 15 years, I am the ‘Only‘ Councillor with this record…of keeping the residents I represent (Whittlesey South) informed not only on what I do, but give kudos to all who do good work for their community.
Not without controversy I will challenge and hold account those (and we have a few) that do not engage or pull their weight.

Being an ‘Independent’ is by no means easy…..many vote even locally on ‘politics and party lines’ I have always advocated – this should not be so – at Town/Parish level. RG May 2011 – Bit slimmer ….

So today not only being the last day of the ‘Chinese New Year’ ‘Chap Goh Mei’
It is a wonderful day to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped motivate me on this very special day……for how much longer – who knows….

Who can recall all the articles/Stories/Archives/Reports/Agenda’s there all here…
History – Has Whittlesey changed Yes – is it a better place to live – I hope so……
(Not without issues or problems daily)
Finally as always –
Ask YOU COUNCILLOR What they have done, and are doing for YOU.

A flood warning has been issued by the Environment Agency.

Flood warning in force: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene, east of Peterborough and west of Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice.
Flooding is expected for: North Bank Road alongside the River Nene to the east of Peterborough and the West of the Dog-in-a-Doublet Sluice

High river levels are expected to cause flooding this evening.

Flooding is expected from the evening of 02 March 2026. 

High river levels are expected to cause flooding on 2 March 2026. River levels remain high following recent rainfall. During periods of high tide the River Nene will be unable to discharge into the sea, resulting in tide lock conditions. This is likely to lead to localised flooding of the North Bank Road, between Peterborough and Rings End. Whilst this Flood Warning is in force, the Local Authority will close North Bank Road. Diversionary routes will be put in place and further updates will be available through local media.

Welcome to Whittlesey

From Mark Mathews, Head of Environmental Services, Fenland District Council.

You will be aware that following changes in the market values of textiles, the Salvation Army have decided to reduce the number of locations where it offers textile recycling banks significantly, withdrawing their banks from many local sites.

We have therefore been working with other suppliers to see if we can cover these locations on a short-term basis.

As a result, you might notice that textile recycling banks in your parish move from being supplied by the Salvation Army to being either Pink Elephant or the Fire Fighters Charity. Both new companies have agreed to supply banks, collect the materials on a suitable frequency to reduce accumulations and recycle the textiles.

The banks will display contact details for the public should there be any issues.
