How nice to see my friend Paul B – who I have known for more than his 40+ years.
What a breath of fresh air talking with him.
He always remembers me and always asked about Connie.
I asked Paul how old he was now – he said he couldn’t remember – Bless him.
Why is it that ‘ordinary people’ can not understand how and why Police and Justice system get things wrong or forever ramming home their political correctness.
Today long time Youth Offender ‘ Albie Burrell’ gets an ASBO – big deal – the exclusion zone that he is ‘banned from’ excludes most of Station Road and the Manor Field.
‘Sergeant Lugg’ said “Burrell’s behaviour has had a significant impact on the community over a long period of time’ I don’t know of Sgt Lugg or whether he has ever been to Whittlesey.
Today whilst transiting The Bower – Litter Picking I saw what appeared to be two innocent looking teenagers, on engaging in conversation – I learnt that ‘MacKenzie was in Whittlesey due to his ASBO in Newmarket and was here staying with his Grandmother, the 17 year old pregnant girlfriend had travelled from Gravesend to meet up with him for the day. They were both smoking some smelly tobacco which I presumed was some sort of Hash – I have a covert picture of Mr Mackenzie (I probably have broken the law and will be arrested) and asked him to behave himself whilst in Whittlesey and take his anti-social behaviour back with him to Newmarket.
We have enough of our own Riff-Raff with out importing more from far afield.
Of course some of our councillors think it wrong to mention that Anti-Social-Behaviour is ‘mainly’ caused by young people – I am not saying ALL ASB is caused by them but a hell of a lot is.
By the way I collected a full bag of rubbish/cans/bottles from around the Skate Park – it didn’t get there by itself – and I had been there 2 days ago?

Still there were ‘some’ better things happening in the Manor/Bower.
An excellent blood donor session was well attended and one of our resident swans came for a look – I haven’t seen its mate for a long time.
Around 16:40 today I saw this man – Whitmoor Street – Windmill Street. I spoke to him and he just about responded – he ‘seemed’ either very drunk or suffering from substance abuse.
I have reported to the Police.

I have been invited and attended these ‘Round-Table’ – Networking Workshops on many occasions in the past 7 years. Today we met the new interim CEO Julie Farrow, amongst other attendees were Terry Jordon Clerk to Wisbech Town council and Rebecca Robinette FDC’s StreetPride Co-Ordinator.
I was as usual the only attendee from Whittlesey!
There is a lot of support and ‘Money’ – channels which the CCVS can access and point community groups, with help in making anything from small applications to large ones from the Lottery Fund.

As far as Whittlesey is concerned – there are (2) County Wards being contested – there have been some boundary changes.

The contents are very ambitious and far reaching, including replacing ALL Diesel Locos.
I have attended on many occasions meetings with what was Anglia Abillio – Cllr King is very confident after last weeks meeting that these ambitious plans will be delivered.

Last nights meeting of the New Queens Street Surgery – Patient Participation Group was very well attended by some 15 members. Various updates were given and we found out that ‘The Tesco planning application’ (outline) which is directly behind the surgery has been passed! – There are some reserved matters yet to be decided and a full application to be submitted.
I raised the issue of getting appointments, over the last 3 weeks, there have been no online appointments available – (All gone) and that’s looking 2 or 3 times a day, telephoning is again somewhat stressful and the only guaranteed way is to queue up at around 7:45 in the morning which I and many other do regularly. It a sign of our ever increasing population.
There will be a PPG awareness week 19th – 24th June.
There is a ‘new’ Health App – which can be downloaded and tells you of the nearest medical/dental/chemist services etc. It is available in several languages.

Apple App Store

Next NQS PPG is on 15th May 2017 @ 7pm – New Queen Street Surgury,
Peterborough has been a big lengths to promote itself as ‘The Environmental Capitol of Europe’ – really – Burnt out vehicles – 8 cars at day broken into – The forever increasing Fly-tipping near Fengate – I see today that the Low Life carrying out this act have started to dump their waste behind the Gas Pumping Station along Storeys Bar Road.
It is all very well PCC issuing notices to the poor land-owner on which the Fly-Tippers are doing their business – but what are ‘They’ doing to help the Landowner.
Again the ‘In-a-hurry driver’ who I estimate was overtaking me at 50+mph and still accelerating along North Bank (Speed limit 40mph for safety reasons)
