The Mayor of Whittlesey has been re-elected for a second year.
Friday, 7th May 2021, 11:30 am
Cllr David Mason will remain as mayor and leader of the town council, while Cllr Dee Laws will remain as deputy.
Following the vote, Cllr Mason said: “The past year has been very challenging but, despite the disruption caused by Covid and the town clerk being sidelined at one point for six weeks following surgery, the council has continued to function satisfactorily with all council and committee meetings being conducted remotely via Zoom.
“Regular events in the town such as Remembrance Day, VJ Day, Citizen of the Year and Allotment Winners have been carried in a more abbreviated physical form but, nonetheless, respectfully.
Jes is also a former chairman of Whittlesey Town Council.
He says one of the most pressing issues for the Lattersey Ward is the need to remove HGVs from residential roads in the area.
He recently described how a lorry had to mount a pavement just to navigate a corner in Inhams Road, strengthening the argument for a bypass.
“I am committed to putting the case for a Whittlesey Eastern Relief Road to all levels of Government,” he said in a profile about him published on Facebook.
He also feels the town needs “an integrated approach to public transport” and the district as a whole requires more affordable housing.
