Yet Another Sucessful Clear-Up Event – StreetPriders

A really fantastic morning with bright sunlight, plus a good location for the 17 members who attended to litter pick 14 bags.
Two of our number were away at Ramsey Road & Kings Delph mowing the grass, a special thanks to Alan and Chris.
Michael has found a new labour of love, namely the tags from vapes which people have a habit of sticking on the litter bins.

Our next litter pick will be on Saturday 17th May at 10am . Meeting at Kings Delph in the Truck Stop layby – see you there.

CCC – Whittlesey/Fenland Election Results

First of all, may I congratulate ALL the candidates for putting themselves up for election.
The public have voted and democracy takes it’s course.

I would personally congratulate Mr. Michael Fisher for being elected for the County Council Ward of Whittlesey South (this being my own Roy Gerstner Ward for Whittlesey Town Council and Fenland Distruict Council) and I am sure we can work together for the best in the interest of our community and electorate.

Supporting today at the count our Independent candidate Barry Wainwright came a respectable 3rd in the Whittlesey South Ward, probably enough to have ‘split’ the vote and allowing the Reform Candidate Mr. Fisher a very credible majority over Dr. Haq Nawaz (The pictures tell the story).

All Kudos to Barry for standing up…..


Mr Michael Fisher (R)                                        Dr Haq Nawaz (Con)


In the North Ward, Incumbent FDC Leader and WTC Councillor Chris Boden takes the seat – not without a fight and a very much reduced majority.

Elsewhere the ‘Conserative Heavyweights, Steve Tierney, Sam Hoye, both re-elected in Wisbech.

Two Conservative Heavyweights beaten, Steve Count (ex leader of Cambs CC) and Ann Hay the sitting candidate.

You can view all the results by going to FDC’s Website by – Clicking Here……

To top off the day, my once every 4 years passing/meeting with MP Steve Barclay, who I have to say, always remembers my name and has a smile to greet me…..thank you Steve.

Hot Weather Advice – While It Lasts

An officer conducting house to house enquiries today visited several properties where windows were left open, but nobody was at home.

Many burglars are opportunists, and this provides them with an easy way of getting into your property.

The warmer weather is glorious, but please remember to shut windows if you go out. This is a simple way of protecting your home.

More burglary prevention advice can be found on our website.

Kind regards,
Tim Goddard
Communications officer
