Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

A good attendance and a short meeting for a change! – One piece of feedback from the Practice Manager was about the ‘new’ telephone appointment system, it has increased the capacity for doctors to see more patients, many of the attendee’s at this evenings meeting gave very positive feedback from the experiences they had received.
Fortunately I have not had to see the Doctors for some time now so can not comment first hand.
The New Queens Street Surgery Flu Clinics have still not been finalised, however the dates of 20th & 27th October maybe pencilled in and once confirmed I will update.

Again may I thank the Royal British Legion, for ‘Flying The Red Ensign’ – to us ex Merchant Navy Seafarers known as ‘The Red Duster’
Not a lot of wind today but here in Whittlesey a great number of local men went and served in 2 World Wars and several conflicts afterwards, never to return.
Today is a day to remember them.

Tonight @ Whittlesey New Queen Street Surgery @ 7pm – All are welcome

A large agenda….as no meeting in August…

Sorry about the quality of pictures, it was a rush job.!!!

The old TSB Building on Queens Street has signage in the window/door stating it is planning to open at the end of September, the company is known as ‘Granite Transformations’ and do kitchens and other home improvements, they were as far as I am aware, based in Peterborough.
The signage is not very professional and a bit Spartan on information.
There is at this time no change of use in planning for this building, not sure if it is actually required.
