Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

There have been a number of complaints about what appears to be a ‘new’ alarm at the Blackbush Railway crossing. The complaints not only from residents along Ramsey Road, but as far afield at the Town Centre?
I’ve also heard it well in Ashline Grove.
Today I have been with a sound meter and took measurements…. although my instrument is not calibrated it gives a good indication of the ‘levels’.
It read a peak of 83dB which is well within the safety levels. The ‘siren’ is pointing slight towards the residents areas. I will monitor the levels to see if they change at all.
(I am more than qualified to take readings and interpolate the results)

There is a Planning meeting at Fenland District Council (March) on the 09th January.
At 14:30  I understand that on the only item on the agenda is ‘where’ the ongoing Supermarket Planning applications are to be held – when it will be heard at present indicates Wednesday January 23rd…
Updates will come as I find out…..

A Happy New Year – We Hope !

The Flood plain is doing its job! – some poster on the Cambs News website said ‘We are only mildly affected by the closure of the B1040’ – then of course we have the odd problem with the Kings Dyke level crossing, this leaves only Ramsey Road as our exit/entry (unless you want a 20+ miles detour) Ramsey Road is like the dodgems at the best of times (I know I live off it). What happens if we had an incident on this road?
Of course we are told that the circumstance are a very rare occasion?
Still things could be worse – a lot worse…. lets live with it. There are lots of places in England which have suffered many times during 2012 with the terrible weather and water that we’ve had.

Best wishes for 2013
