Planning Application – Glatton Road – Update 2
A Parish Council meeting took place on Friday, 4th September 2020 at which the Larkfleet Development in Glatton Road was discussed.
Extract from draft minutes 4th September:
13.Larkfleet Development (presentation from Larkfleet Homes on the agenda 23rd Feb 2018)
“Having had the first application for 340 houses on Glatton Rd, Sawtry turned down by HDC, Larkfleet as well as appealing the first decision have issued a new application which in essence is the same as the first with some minor alterations to the green spaces. Sawtry Parish Council discussed this application at the planning meeting which NMP and AA , along with a Glatton resident attended. Sawtry Parish Council recommended refusal of this application. There are no fundamental changes in this application from the first application which has been rejected. The main issue for Glatton is the potential increase in traffic through Glatton as well as the pressure on the infrastructure affecting both Sawtry and Glatton. There haven’t been any traffic studies at all showing how Glatton may be adversely affected by the increase in traffic through the village and a very limited survey at non peak times through Sawtry. Glatton Parish Council will make these comments on the HDC website. Carole will through the web site remind villagers to make any comments on HDC website by September 7th.”

The parish council are please to announce that after many weeks of an empty plinth, our new Glatton village sign has been erected this morning. Pictured at the new sign are three parish councillors, Neil Mundell-Phipps, Paul Williams & Steve Smith With Phil Ward. On behalf of all Glatton residents the parish council would like to thank: Phil Ward, Mik Julien (Artist in Wood) who carved and painted the sign, Geoff G who donated the post and Paul Williams for organising everything. The parish council had many discussions and shared ideas when considering replacing the old and very worn sign and we decided that taking everything into account to create an almost exact replica of the original. We hope you all agree it looks revitalised and stunning.

Marie Curie Collection
“I have had a thank-you letter from the Marie Curie organisation.
Despite the problems lockdown caused us, we were still able to send a total of £205.45 when all the money was in.”

Freshlinc’s Customized Trailer
We were kindly sent a picture by Olivia aged 6, which was done as part of a school project, we thought it was so good and such a fitting tribute to the NHS and key workers that we would have it transformed into a large vinyl wrap and put onto one of our trailers (Trailer 871), which will be delivering produce and flowers around the country.”
The Art work will stay on the trailer for about 6 years before being retired, our Fleet Support vehicle also has the Rainbow on it now.
After having Trailer 871 wrapped in its new livery, the effects have been huge not only with our staff but members of public, who often beep at the driver showing their support.
Trailer 871 has been requested by various groups to visit hospitals around the region on a Thursday evening in support of “Clap for Carers”. Having been to Spalding and Boston Hospitals along with the care Unit at Thorpe Road Peterborough, Trailer 871 is going to Colchester, KingsLynn and Hinchingbrooke over the coming weeks.
During the last few weeks, stories have emerged especially within the FreshLinc family and the wider people who we work with of the sacrifice being made by their own family members who are part of our wonderful NHS.
From all of us at FreshLinc our heart felt thanks goes to the NHS and Care Workers, all who look after us not just through Coronavirus but always, I for one will be thinking harder each time I need their support.
The art work done by Olivia, unprompted by here parents, sports the FreshLinc design, which when given to us brought a tear to our eyes, its very different from some communication we receive with Lorries not always being accepted, yet play an important part in supply chain – Thank you Olivia for thinking of us.

A Message from Tim Alban District Councillor
