Further to my (2) previous postings, here is the official release. The online survey will open up from the 11th. I/we encourage as many to take part – It may well determine the furture for our Town/Villages.
Disclaimer: These observations are not the ‘official’ minutes of the meeting, these are supplied by Whittlesey Town Council, normally (1) month following the meeting and can be viewed on their website.
Cllr Eamonn Dorling gave a brief talk on the benefit of
‘Tree Planting’ some of the positive benefits being better oxygen air quality, reduction of CO2 & particulate matters.
Provide materials for tools & buildings

A robust discussion took place, basically supporting, however it was the conscientious that this initiative should be ‘community led’ as on several previous occasions.
Cllr Dorling is in contact with various organisations.
I am in full support of ‘more’ tree’s and ‘bushes’ and have taken part in several previous projects.
The big concern is ‘where’ to plant, getting permission to ‘plant’ and any future maintenance.
Other Items discussed :- Cllr Mrs Laws gave an update on the for-coming ‘Local Plan’ consultation process and to get as many public to take part – It is important they do so.
The post which I placed on Oct 9th Click Here has a link on which you can place views….
The link will become ‘live’ in a day or two…..
News that ‘The Bower’ maintenance concerns/issues, is being resolved, Cllr Mrs Mayor, arranged a meeting with FDC and other agencies, it would now appear the FDC are responsible for a large part of the ‘Walkway’ – however there are other parts which come under Cambs CC and Mid-Level Commissioners.
A ‘Fly-Tipper’ was caught red-handed – and issues on the spot £400 fine.

(Peterborough City Council) – gave an update on the

It is hoped that a Heritage Centre will be built at the Forterra Car Parking Area (Peterborough Road) –
She explained that this building will be an environmentally friendly facility (Solar, Rainwater & Effluent).
There will be a class room for up to 30 places and an exhibition centre to highlight the history of Whittlesey. Our local museum will be involved.

Can you please spare no more than 10 minutes to complete this short survey? Just 5 main questions that all relate to the delivery of some parts of the strategy. We will be assessing all of the results at a national Board meeting; so please complete this survey as soon as possible. It will close on 20th October 2019. Please note, you do not need to be active in Neighbourhood Watch to complete the survey, we want to know the opinions of everyone the movement can reach. Please be honest. That way we can better meet your needs. and help all of us make more of a positive difference to our neighbourhoods and communities. Thank you. On behalf of David Huse

01733 204077 – reported this morning as ‘spam’ threatening to disconnect Internet Service. Google the number and there is a string of numbers beginning 2040…….
So after a bit more research, it would appear that the (2) Yellow Poles that have been installed along Eastrea Road (Whittlesey) are Gas Riser relief pipes. These are quiet common both in the Gas/Oil & Shipping industries. Why they have now appeared is anyone guess – but they are NOT average speed camera gantries.
It ‘looks’ like Average Speed Camera’s are about to be installed along Eastrea Road.
Speeding near a school is asking for trouble, I dare say ‘those’ at the Road Safety Partnership have decided to fund this initiative. I’ve not heard or seen anything ‘official’
Below the photo’s is some statistical info on 2 of our 4 local Speed Camera’s.
One ‘Yellow Pole’ nearby MT Cars and the other close by the Cemetery Road Round-about.
The Camera on Syers Lane appears to ‘produce’ the results…!!!
