Share your views on using Whittlesea Railway Station to help unlock plans for future regeneration

Fenland District Council is inviting residents, businesses, and rail users to share their views on using Whittlesea Railway Station to help develop the business case for future regeneration plans.

Whittlesea is one of three Fenland stations included in a rail regeneration programme being delivered through the Council’s Railway Station Masterplans project.

The programme is supported by funding from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, with £3 million earmarked for improvements at Whittlesea between 2024 and 2027.

A survey has now been launched to gather people’s views and experiences of using the station and an in-person engagement event is also being held on Friday, November 21.
At Whittlesey Market Place/Buttercross 09:00am

Somewhat contentious Tree Preservation Order on 15 Trees on Church Street Whittlesey.
For those who are not aware of the history of this house.
Quite unique in that it was orginally built for a Mr. Lines, who owned one of the brickworks in Whittlesey, later ‘Butcher Brown’ owned is for at least 40 years.
After he died, the property has been sold twice and a building at the rear garden has been built.
The Trees are large, and they and the property sits within the Whittlesey Conservation area.
By placing TPO’s on the trees – protects them to a certain extent.
Concerns about the ‘safety’ of the trees, a number run parallel to the pathway that children and parents use from/to Park Lane school.

The motion was approved to place TPO’s on ALL 15 Trees.

Johnsons Aggregates fined nearly £90,000 for breaking its waste permit.

The Environment Agency (EA) has prosecuted Johnsons Aggregates and Recycling Ltd, the same company operating at Saxon Pit in Whittlesey, after large amounts of ash were found spread over neighbouring land at its Ilkeston site in Derbyshire.

The firm pleaded guilty at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court and was fined £40,000 with £49,886.75 in costs. The court heard that EA officers discovered waste ash covering about five acres outside the permitted boundary, following complaints about dust, odour and noise.

The Agency said the case shows it will not tolerate illegal waste activities and reminded the public to report any suspected waste crime.

For Whittlesey residents, this is a clear reminder of why strong oversight and independent monitoring at Saxon Pit are essential.

The case was confirmed in an EA press release on 11 November 2025. A spokesperson said:
“This case shows that operators in the waste sector should realise we will not tolerate illegal waste activities. We will take enforcement action to protect the environment, people and legitimate businesses.”

The same operator is now seeking to expand its operation here by:

• increasing IBA throughput from 250,000 to 460,000 tonnes per year (an 84% rise)
• doubling daily IBA processing capacity
• more than tripling C&D waste throughput (up 208%)
• expanding total on-site waste storage by 43%
• reducing freeboard (the buffer between the top of the waste piles and the wall) from 1.0 m to 0.5 m
• and introducing outdoor IBA crushing.

Saxongate has submitted detailed objections and expects the planning decision to go before committee in 2026.
