Whittlesey Business Forum Meeting – Last Night

Only 9 attendee’s for last nights WBF meeting on a hot night at the Falcon Hotel, perhaps members were enjoying the nice weather in their gardens!.
The forum has 50 paid up members and one agenda item was that of the success of the ‘Charity Walk’ which raised £631:76 plus another £250:00 from McCains making a grand total of $881:76 for the (2) local charities.
An excellent short talk given by Katie McAndrew (Conservation Officer) from Fenland District Council, who informed the group of the latest Conservation Management Plan.
There are 62 listed buildings in the Whittlesey Conservation area, FDC do not list buildings, this is done via the government.

Watch Out For Those Nasty Ivory Coaster Scammers

Not quite the same as Nigerians (I’ve been to both places in work not in leisure) – with the same old scam, there are thousands of young West Africans ‘promised’ a fortune to sit in Cyber Cafes pumping out the same old stories 12/16 hours a day (They pay for this) on the hope that just ‘one’ gullible person engages with them.
This is not the more clever ‘Amazon’ attack which I follow in a moment.
Just read and you will see a multitude of errors and mistakes – but there will be someone who responds to this message – I hope it is NOT You….

DAERST ONE

My name is Mr. Mohamad Kazeem, the Secretary to the former Government Mr.Laurent Gbagbo.former president of Cote d Ivory in West Africa, I have funds $ 11.4 MILLION USdollars, in my possession which the president handed over to me to pay in before the political crises.I want to move this fund so that the new government will not no about it . and if the new govermet no aboutit the monery will be moved into federal government account because there is no ownership to the fund. All I need fromyou is your interest to be my foreign partner so that things will be done withcordial relationship, equity and rationality. Now the monery is in ATM MASTER CARDS and I will send them to youthrough bank or through online bankingso that the fund will be withdrawn from the card on daily basis until we havethe last cent, otherwise using any other method will involve a lot of processesthat will eventually not come to an end like getting several certificates,payments of insurance fee, then using diplomats and lots more. If you assure meof your partnership I will show you the simple way this can be done and in lessthan five days we will celebrate. Thanks
,Sincerely Mr Mohamad kazeem

Highways Up To Their Usual Tricks….

Confusion is an understatement – Various places around Whittlesey with ‘Diversion’ signage – all leading nowhere….
Looked on the lauded WTC Website and no information there about road closures or diversions…. Am I surprised NO…. If the council are not told they can not tell us the public….
This was a clever sign last Friday on Church Street – blocking the pavement thank you.
Whilst I was trying to negotiate around the sign, 3 young lads came along and moved to sign – where I don’t know and I don’t care – it is NO more there and I didn’t touch it….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beside the conflicting signage one side of the road to the other, here the on the left, the ‘highways or their contractors have blocked the view forward and now have to inch out in order to see around the sign…..
It makes me wonder ‘who’ is doing this work….
Maybe the 3 young lads I met on Friday have the solution…..

Who….!!!!….Would….Believe…It

Not only did our ‘intrepid’ Fenland Police Force Cycle all the way from March, to do some patrol work here in Whittlesey today – Team Leader Sergeant Richard Lugg along with PSCO Shane Green spent a productive few hours in and around our town.
One unfortunate inconsiderate driver received a Parking Ticket whilst I was nearby,
Just as the photo was taken, a shop keeper came to report a bicycle being stolen from outside ‘Rambo’s….Off they went….Sgt Lugg promising some more cycling police when resources are available.
