Councillors have raised concerns about issues in the town that they want the police to look into. During Thursday evening’s Whittlesey Town Council meeting, councillors praised the work the police are doing, but are also calling for more action to be taken.
PC Callum Mcgarvie attended the meeting to listen to councillors’ concerns.

He said: “I know there has been a lack of police presence in town. As you know, there has been a lot going on in the country, and there are a lot of protests, especially in Peterborough, which is a destraction to our officers.”
However, the policing team has carried out 11 or 12 drug warrants and a dangerous dog warrant in the last three months in Whittlesey, including one last week, he said.
He acknowledged illegal parking is still an issue.
PC Mcgarvie said: “We have been out regarding the parking, we cannot be everywhere. We have three other market towns and various villages that all have the same problems.
“It is on our agenda, it is part of our priority with anti-social behaviour and anti-social behaviour parking.”
Cllr Roy Gerstner praised the work of the policing team.
He said: “Thank you for the drug issues that you have been addressing. You have had quite a lot of success, and I think you need to be congratulated on that.”

Saxongate have written to regulators asking them to strengthen the proposed monitoring for the Medworth plant, the large energy-from-waste incinerator currently under construction in Wisbech.
Our new report Beyond the Models – Medworth Monitoring (copy attached) shows that while the remote air monitors will count particles, they do not currently include testing of what those particles contain or whether they build up in soil, crops, milk or meat. The project’s own assessment noted that food-chain uptake may be the more significant pathway, yet no long-term testing is planned.
We are calling for simple checks: set a baseline before the plant starts, test composition not just counts, and keep monitoring for the life of the plant, not just four years.
There is no indication that ash from Medworth will come to Whittlesey, but we believe robust monitoring of incineration risks can only strengthen our case and protecting crops from contamination is a matter for all of Fenland.
We welcome feedback on the report and hope it starts a constructive discussion on how monitoring can be improved if and when the plant operates.

Not even Steve Barclay can ‘influence’ the somewhat snail-pace of the Environment Agency’ – that said, ‘we’ have a good communication system in place with lead group ‘Saxongate Residents Group’ and a very ‘few’ of us Councillors, with all the main stakeholders. At long last meetings with all and updates as to any progress.
We live in hope….

One of the priorities for our March neighbourhood team over the past few months has been anti-social behaviour in Whittlesey town centre – including drug dealing.
Thanks to your information and reports, the team have been busy acting on these, whether that be through numerous warrants or patrols in the area.
Please continue to report any concerns to us online, as this helps us to identify hotspot areas and inform the work we do. You can report here.
