I have a serious question - would appreciate it if you didn’t say it came from me.
Is there a link between the attitude and messaging from some Wisbech councillors and the high Covid infection rate in the town?
One of those with a relatively sceptic attitude to Covid is the head of comms at Fenland District Council and is friends with the Wisbech mayor, Cllr Aigars Balsevics.
The council dossier says Mayor Aigars Balsevics committed many breaches himself.

CCTV from the pub on the day the offences are alleged have to happened – Christmas Eve – will be shown to a panel of councillors that will determine the review.
Environmental health officers at Fenland Council say the evidence “demonstrates that health and safety and Covid 19 regulations at the Angel were breached on December 24 2020.”
It says Cllr Balsevics, the designated premises supervisor (DPS) and his staff were “aware and helped to facilitate those breaches.
