I understand that a family is seeking housing locally, are at present living in a couple of tents in shrubbery along the Green Wheel Cycle route towards Peterborough.
The family I understand have 5 children – the council have been made aware.
Further to my previous article(s) – I have to declare I had a chance encounter with Martin on Saturday afternoon in Morrisons Supermarket. Not a long conversation – but basically Martin is not a very happy man in respect to how either Fenland District Council have historically performed or its future ahead, this along with his personal reasons of discontent with the local conservative group.
Personally I am not writing MC off in local politics – like with Arnie S – He’ll be back.
18 members attending the Whittlesey Society last night @ The Town Hall.
The group was brought up to date about my attendance of the Kings Dyke Crossing – Meeting at the Combined Authority and the outcome of moving forward with financial aspects to the project.
The guest speaker gave a very interesting poignant talk about World War 1 Submarine Warfare.
Some fascinating facts and figures.
Next meeting will be on the 10th December 7:30 – Whittlesey Town Hall – Market Street.
Your Chance To Influence Policing In The County
| We would like to offer you an opportunity to shape the future of policing in the county at a series of events taking place over the coming weeks. The pressures on forces have never been so complex, as we work hard to manage demand and deal with the challenges of modern day policing. In coming years, Cambridgeshire, along with other forces, will strive to be as efficient and effective as possible while facing national, regional and local issues. There will continue to be a strong focus on providing the public with the best service possible and it is really important to us that the public have the opportunity to play an active role in policing in the county. Local officers will also attend the meetings to talk about the challenges of local policing. Following introductions from us both there will be an opportunity for questions from the public. The first meeting will take place on: Throughout the meeting there will be an opportunity to get involved online through @CambsCops Facebook and Twitter. Kind regards |

This Wednesday 14th November
Now in its 22nd year Rotary Whittlesey’s event for raising funding for Life Education Sessions at Local Schools – which includes Whittlesey area schools.
Organiser Stephen Hodson is retiring from his organising role after 22 years and everyone at the event showed their appreciation.
We go for the fun of it, not being ‘premier’ division quizzers we came in our usual place, just below the top half.
Again The Letter B team were the winners.
Well advertised – No one has any issues to report then? – only on Social Media are there problems or issues…..well well – The Police can not act on hearsay or social media chat, crime, issues, ABS (Anti-Social Behaviour), parking or general problems need to be reported through official channels, sometimes ‘we’ know that reporting on ‘101’ can be a bit time consuming and arduous – but stick with it – or report online there is a direct link on Cambs Police Website – https://www.cambs.police.uk/
Another excellent display of WW1 history at our Library.
