Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

You may not be aware –  the organisers WTC are having concerns that we are struggling to get ‘volunteers‘ to steward the events, should this situation carry on, there is a risk that the events can not carry on.

I and 5 others will be there to help make sure everyone enjoys themselves safely.

I was not there with them today, however I’ve been out x 3 during the week on my own.

Photography by Peter Davies – yes I also attended.

Rather a hot day to go litter picking but ten members attended and collected 15 bags of assorted rubbish plus a good bag full of cans for Eamonn to crush. Thanks also goes to Chris, who is not in the photograph but collected 5 bags by himself.

(Thanks to PD)

The next litter pick will be at Eastrea Community Hall at 10am. on the 28th June.
We will meet in the front car park. I hope to see you there.

Last night saw 12 of us carry out some tidying up and maintenance work at
The ‘Platinum Wood’ @ Yarwell Headlands.

A WTC initiative in memory of our late Queen, an idea that was mine to leave a legacy for the future.

Would you like to help?
Have a look, peace and quiet, walk your dog, take your children.

Pictures taken yesterday, I’ll have a look later today to see if anything more has taken place…..Some lick and slick paintwork on bollards and benches…

I attended the Golden Age Partners Event yesterday in my role of being the Chairman of Whittlesey & District Neighbourhood Watch Group for the passed 15 years, along with around 40 other stakeholders.

Supported and sponsored by FDC, normally 4 events a year.
Lots of free advice and sometimes other ‘freebies’ come along to the Whittlesey event next Friday from 10am at the Manor Leisure Centre.

What should have been a re-opening by end of July, I now understand it maybe a couple weeks later, reasons I don’t know. Once I get a date I’ll post it up.
