Some Have Waited 10 Years For The Road To Be Fixed

A605 – Potholed and in a poor state of repair. Over 12 months overdue, the road now is being worked on, yes some inconvienience and noise.
Some residents have had to put up with the frontages sploshed when it rains, pedestrians also covered in water due to the way the water lays.
Dr Haq (Superman) is fixing it?

Update – Issues (Some) – Getting COVID Boosters

Since this original post (13th) a couple of people have contacted me with same issues of getting their vacine here in Whittlesey, they have contacted our ‘Health Watch representative – Cllr Bob Wicksbobwicks@whittleseytowncouncil.gov.uk

New Queen Street, as far as I am aware are not doing any, and several at Jenner are having to go to Peterbough to theirs done….again we seem to have been forgotten – Maybe championing campainer Dr Haq is on the case? (No comment)

20,000 Covid-19 vaccines given in first week of spring programme with
walk-ins available in Doddington, March and Wisbech.

In the first week of the spring Covid-19 programme, the local NHS in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough has vaccinated over 20,000 people.

Despite the strong start to this programme, there are still plenty of appointments available on the national booking system, with up to 2,000 still available across the county each day.

Cali Makewell, integrated vaccination service lead at NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough ICB, said: “Whilst we are delighted that so many people have come forward in the first week for this vital vaccination, we still have lots of appointments available, and strongly encourage anyone who is eligible to take up the opportunity to protect themselves.

“It’s understandable that some people might not feel they need another Covid-19 vaccination but immunity decreases over time and Covid remains an extremely unpleasant, and for some people life-threatening, disease.”

Those eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination are:

-Adults aged 75 years and over;

Residents in a care home for older adults;

-Individuals aged six months and over who are immunosuppressed which is a variety of groups including people who are undergoing radical radiotherapy, solid organ transplant recipients and people with a history of leukaemia.

There are a variety of clinics available across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, some offering walk-in sessions or bookable appointments, as well as quiet clinics for those who need them.

For more information, visit www.cpics.org.uk/the-vaccinators to find a walk-in clinic. Alternatively, people who would prefer to book in can visit www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/covid-19-services/covid-19-vaccination-services/book-covid-19-vaccination or call 119.

Walk-in clinics are available at Oasis Child & Family Centre, St Michaels Avenue, Wisbech on Tuesday, April 15, 9am-3pm;

Doddington Vaccination Centre, Stonea Corridor, Doddington Hospital on Thursday, April 17, 8.30am-4.30pm;

St John’s Church Hall, Station Road, March on Tuesday, April 22, 10am-3pm and Thursday, May 22, 10am-3pm;

Queen Mary Centre, Queens Road, Wisbech on Thursday, April 24, 9am-3pm, Tuesday, May 13, 9am-3pm and Thursday, June 6, 9am-3pm.

Update – Face to Face Energy Advice 28th April

This is a link for people to book a 30 min slot with me: 

Select a Date & Time – Calendly

Henry Buttress
Energy and Communities Project Manager (AMEI)


We have a Face to Face energy advice session booked for Monday 28th April between 1-4pm in Room 2 of March Library. 

This will involve meeting energy users in the community and having a conversation with them to improve the situation they may be in. This could be to provide energy advice and explore options that can help reduce consumption, stay warm in the home & save on energy costs.
It could also be to discuss grants to implement more sustainable heating systems in their home if it is appropriate for that individual.

The face-to-face appointments will be a good addition to the phone calls and events we do and be an effective way to help people in fuel poverty.

I would be grateful if you could share this with any energy users in the area that you feel would benefit from energy advice. 

I can then allocate them a time of 30 mins to meet. 

Kind regards, 

Henry Buttress.
Energy and Communities Project Manager (AMEI)

If you would like an energy advice call, please book using the follow link

Local Plan Review Peterborough

I hope everyone is now aware – that by 2028 Fenland district Council will be no more….
Under this Governments local reorganisation of local councils, most District Councils will disappear or be absorbed by other councils.
Officers at Fenland are still very much in discussion with neighbouring authorities.
Maybe/perhaps we may come under Peterborough (Already a unitary authority)
I hope there will be some public consultation….(In Fenlands case)

So below Peterborough have opened up their draft Local Plan for the future, click on the link and will open up the document (some 190 pages) – and from there the public can make comments.

Dear Whittlesey Town Council

Re: Peterborough Local Plan Public Consultation

I am writing to inform you that Peterborough City Council is consulting on the Draft Local Plan, the second stage in the preparation of a new Local Plan for Peterborough.
This is an important document as it will determine what Peterborough will look like in the future and how it will become an even better place to live, work and visit.
The Draft Local Plan sets out criteria based policies that address the key issues in Peterborough. It also includes specific allocations for new development.

Consultation on the Draft Local Plan will take place between 11 April 2025 and 29 May 2025 at 11:59pm. Full details are available on our website at:
https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/local-plan-review
where you can read and comment on the plan and view all supporting documents.

The new Local Plan will eventually replace the Peterborough Local Plan adopted in July 2019. This is the second opportunity for you to make comments on the emerging plan and we encourage you to take this opportunity to let us know your views.

Public consultation was carried out on the Issues and Options consultation document in summer 2023, all comments received have been taken into consideration and are available to view at: https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/local-plan-review.

How to make comments

You can make comments:

·        Online at the Online Comments Form

May I advise you that comments will not be kept confidential and will be made available to the public (including online). However, your personal details will be kept confidential in line with the Data Protection Act.

Next Stages

All comments received will be taken into consideration and will help inform the Proposed Submission Local Plan to be published later in 2025. Following this consultation period all comments will be made available on the council’s website at
https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/local-plan-review.

If you would like to keep up to date with the progress of the Local Plan please check our website at https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/local-plan-review.
