20 mph Zones. Jes has asked for 20mph zone in the Avenues. He is behind the times. I have pushed the police and Cambs County Council a number of times to implement a 20 mph zone outside Alderman Jacobs School and, the County Council is currently reviewing its policies, which mean that there is potential for this to happen anyway.
However, just saying "the Avenues" is a very broad brush approach and we should not move forward until we know what the views of residents are and what the implications are. Furthermore, dealing with our biggest problem - AJS - without considering Teal Road may be a problem, because there is some evidence that traffic will use rat runs to avoid 20mph zones. So just including the Avenues misses the point.
Improved Youth provision. Jes has called for improved Youth provision in Whittlesey (whilst at the same time complimenting the work the Conservatives have done in this area).
Jes doesn't seem to know the facts. Fenland District council recently worked with the County Council on an ambitious plan for a new Youth Centre in Whittlesey. Unfortunately the bid was refused because the Government chose to divert the available funds towards Labour areas.
Again, the issue is recognised and is being developed. Jes has not come up with anything new - just something which his own party at a National level have chosen to ignore.
Rest assured I am well on top of this.
