Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

I and another Whittlesey resident attended the WisWIN (Wisbech without Incineration) meeting last night, I’ll try and be ‘kind’ – the meeting was attended by the management team of Medworth (Incinerator  Builder/Operator) with Mr Paul Carey taking and answering questions.
Around 50 attendees, Mr Carey read out 5 e-mail questions (Most had been answered at previous meetings) – Then open question time.

1/ A complete unorganised group, threw (again) previously asked and answered questions, to which Mr. Carey did his best to address.
2/ There was no structure to some questions, only some making long statements about their objections to the Incinerator being built.
3/ The meeting was starting to become chaotic with several people talking and speaking at the same time.

My co-attendee walked out after an hour, I remained for another hour, by which time I was getting tied and fed up.
One question raised was there any councillors attending, to which I raised my hand – ensuring that I was a Whittlesey/Fenland Councillor.
No other hands raised.

I have attended several of the Medworth Incinerator meetings, because there is some potential in many years to come for ‘Waste’ from the site will have to be exported from Wisbech – Where No one knows yet – but remember Whittlesey already has a site that Recycles Incinerator Bottom End Ash.

Disappointed that the WISwin Group could not have organised a much better structured campaign to get their message over.
Medworth have ALL the permissions and planning in place – the best way is to ensure that ALL the conditions are complied with.

I support many others in that I believe the Wisbech Incinerator is in the wrong place.

Our neighbourhood officers carried out warrants today in Sycamore Road and Snowley Park, both in Whittlesey, as well as Peterhouse Crescent in March, in relation to drug dealing.

While nothing was found and no arrests were made on this occasion, we will continue to act on your information and concerns.
