This is the ‘latest’ idea from some Peterborough NHW Co-ordinators.
I am not sure of the ‘legalities’ of such a sign, or whether the ‘issuer’ may be committing a crime themselves by ‘defacing’ some persons property.
Certainly looks a very good idea for those areas like our which is more or less cowboy country as far as inconsiderate parkers go.
If you think you may be ‘brave’ enough to stick these on vehicles I can supply a better quality image.
My correspondent sent me a copy of a letter published last week in the Cambs Times©
I posted an article on 01st October regarding the None payment of Council tax by (2) Fenland Councillors. Now Mr Erbie Murat has sent a letter into the Cambs Times.
Mr Murat is not without (some) controversial issues himself in his past….Recently having a somewhat Big fallout with his (ex) employer Wisbech Town Council.

Unfortunately (or maybe not) I am in sunnier climates and am unable to attend Wednesdays Town Council Meeting, however I repost the letter that the Police & Crime Commissioner sent out in regards to the ‘closure’ of Whittlesey Police Station.
I hope to have ‘eyes and ears’ in attendance.
If you are concerned – why not attend and listen to what the Chief Inspector and PCC have to say – maybe they will have some good news – !!!!
7:30pm @ Whittlesey Town Council Offices.
Grosvenor Road Whittlesey.

There is a full WTC meeting this Wednesday 12th October at 19:30
There is to be a presentation by Chief Inspector Hills and the Police & Crime Commissioner Jason Ablewhite.
Although I am unable to attend – Whittlesey Neighbourhood Watch hope to be in attendance and to make a representation at the Public Forum.
Maybe ‘they’ have something up their sleeves in regards to ‘Policing in Whittlesey’
There are many other items on the agenda see in full…..
Very pleased that 4 friends from Whittlesey joined Connie & I to celebrate my 65th Birthday…. The Riu Palace here in Madeira made a special occasion for us.
This being our 4th year at the hotel (We like it).
We had a good build up to the day (07th) and a fantastic evening for us all.
Glad to have made it to 65….
Thanks to Andrew & Sue Overton,
Stuart & Pat Reynolds.
Propping up the bar on the right is a long term friend from Madeira Mr Daniel
Now all we need to do is sober up – just a bit….
Since the original complainer on ‘anti-social media’ has not had the decency to update their issues… my correspondent informs me that the ‘(2)’ offending abandoned vehicles in the Co-Op Car Park have now been removed by possibly FDC/CCC Contractors.
How this works on a private car park I do not know – however he also reports that since their removal – Another abandoned vehicle has arrived.
It appears that if you don’t want the cost of getting rid of your scrap – dump it in a Car Park and someone will remove it.
It is my understanding there is no cost to the Tax Payer – that said the culprits should still be tracked down and made to pay.
Report received today from PCSO Moll
Attempted Break-In – Jemmying a Front Door.
Please be extra aware and report anything unusual or suspicious.
Friends of Whittlesey Library will be holding their AGM this evening.
Since their formation, we/they have achieved many enhancements and events
at ‘our’ Library/Learning’ Hub – including Lobbying extensively in keeping the Library open – when threatened with closure by Cambs CC (Remember the Recycling Centre – Same Issue).
Meeting is at 7:00pm and anyone can attend – at the Library.
Thank you to Cllr Kay Mayor ‘Quote’
I have made enquiries and have been asked to point out that the whole of one table top was replaced (half had been completely removed by ‘vandals’) and two slats were replaced on another (as shown in your photo) by the company and included in the price that was quoted at the Council meeting (£130).
I trust you will ensure that your readers are made aware.
This clears this up – let us hope that there is no more mindless vandalism of Benches, Flower Bends and other community projects which ‘The Few’ put a lot of time and effort into making our Town and Villages Clean and Presentable.
Since we are promoting Cancer this week, please see poster above, I am pleased to be informed that the Robert Horrell Macmillan Centre (Peterborough) has been re-launched and has extra funding…..
A very good week at 4 events supporting Macmillan and their big Coffee & Cake meet-ups.
Surprising that I met the same group of people at each event – sounds familiar.
As reported in my WTC meeting update, the Picnic Bench at the Manor Field was to cost £130 to repair after being allegedly vandalised. Looking at the repair!!! – seems rather an expensive exercise to replace 2 slats and repair the rest of the table top.
I have started to notice that ‘Our Council’ appear ‘Flush’ with money at present and are what appears to be on a spending spree with Ratepayer Money!
I did also notice at the Manor Field another bench with a complete new (untreated) top, maybe the £130 included this bench as well – I hope so.

Whilst I may fully sympathise for those who fall on hard times for what ever reason – I have been made redundant 3 times in my work life not knowing what the financial future may hold – Councillors are ‘ordinary people’ however sometimes people have to set an example and ‘If’ Council/Councillors expect the public to pay their taxes – it is not unreasonable for those who are elected to govern us – to do the same in timely fashion.
The website is having a holiday – I’ll post up anything relevant or important.e
I note that the ‘odd’ complaint is starting again, re-parking at NQS.
Why not ‘complain’ to the Surgery? – why whinge on social media, a written complaint will require a written answer!.
Maybe some remember that this ‘issue’ has been raised before, and although I sympathise with people using NQS, I too am a patient. I find that if I go at least 15/20 minutes early, it allows sufficient time to find a space.
As an original member of the NQS Patients Participation Group, we have raised this issue on many occasions, I took on to do a survey, and somewhere in these archives, there will be some results. I remember that I identified ‘6’ vehicles which appeared not to belong to the Surgery and suspected that these drivers – parked up and disappeared the rest of the day/week. That survey was sometime ago, and should the PPG ask me again to carry out another survey I am more than willing to do so.
Remember that it is not only patients using the car park legitimately – there is all the staff at the surgery which has increased along with the increase in patients.
There are staff from Boots Chemist, there are workers from specialists that support the surgery and day attendees on training and seminars.
New Queen Street Surgery opened with some 6,000 patients, it now has more than 11,000 patients registered.
If you are experiencing ‘issues’ with parking, please make the Surgery Management aware.
ps I remember when I carried out the ‘survey’ – I was subjected to verbal abuse from ‘members of public’ – not liking ‘someone’ recording registration plates – in a ‘private car park’ at the request of the PPG and Surgery.
Another case of no win situation.
