I attended both meetings as a member of the public….
At the Finance & Policy meeting, the committee discussed the councils finances and position for the year and forward into this years accounts.

Whittlesey Town Council have a budget and normally keep to it unless something exceptional occurs, they are in a healthy financial position in that they have well over £100,000 in reserves.

At last nights WTC Planning Committe, a short presentation was given by Allison Homes in respect of their application for 175 dwellings along Drybread Road.

Questions were asked about the positioning and type of play equipement being installed and when it would occur in the time frame.
The application is recommended for approval by WTC.

Ref Former Saxon Brickworks – application to increase throughput, – during the public forum ‘Brenda ?’ spoke out about Whittlesey becoming a ‘Toxic Town’.
A relatively short debate took place and WTC decided to recoomend refusal on grounds of
more noise, more, dust, more pollution and more traffic.

The next WTC Panning meeting is on Monday 02nd June.

Out go Cllrs Benny, Miscandlon and Murphy.
Incoming Cllrs Christy, Count and Imafidon.

I signed this sometime ago, which I believe may be more effective and none political.

Dear Roy Gerstner,

You recently signed the petition “Ban new waste incinerators and revoke permits where building has not begun”:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/710486

On 3 April, MPs debated waste incinerators in Parliament.

This was a Westminster Hall debate led by Baggy Shanker MP. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Mary Creagh MP responded on behalf of the Government.

Explainer

Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

They are a way to:

• raise awareness of an issue
• seek to influence government policy
• put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.

See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
