“Whittlesey, like towns across Fenland, Cambridgeshire and the whole of the UK, is under unprecedented pressure right now but this funding will go some way to supporting its Covid recovery while benefitting residents and businesses and attracting visitors too.”
The first Whittlesey project approved by the CPCA Board was a £57,500 application for Interactive Highway Signs, which will give vital alerts to drivers when local roads are closed due to flooding or roadworks.
The three signs are currently being fabricated and are due to be installed in their approved locations and working by early summer.
One of the town’s most ambitious projects is to build a new Whittlesey Heritage Visitor Centre to showcase local artifacts and the history of Whittlesey from Bronze Age to modern day.
