Wisbech survey for your views
CITIZEN reader David Prestidge has set up an online survey asking Wisbech people for their comments in the wake of the recent negative town publicity.
“I am depressed by the lack of dialogue and sensible discussion about the problems that ordinary people face in Wisbech.
“We seem caught between national media scare-mongering and the rose-tinted glasses of some local politicians and civic leaders,” said Mr Prestidge.
“On the Wisbech Community Forum - http://wisbechcommunityforum.blogspot.com/ - there is an opportunity for people to have their say.
“The site is not connected to or supported by local businesses or political groups. I have posted a survey there which has already attracted a lot of interest.”
He added: “The survey will be kept online until Sunday February 26. I will then analyse the results and make the findings public.
“I would ask anyone who lives in the town or surrounding villages to complete the survey.
“It is free, anonymous and requires no sign-up.
“I will stress again that the blog is completely unconnected to any political party.”

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 04:35 PMI have lived in Wisbech most of my life since I was 7 years of age. Of course I have seen alot of changes since then. There is one thing in particular I would like to voice my opinion on. Harecroft Road National Trust Fields. Most every day I walk these fields to excercise my dogs, we dog owners sometimes get a raw deal as to the cleaning up after our animals, in the most part the majority do. However I have noticed on my daily walks on numerous occasions grown men relieving themselves in and around the fields in broad daylight, I presume it is deemed necessary after lazing around all day consuming alcohol.It is being said that we are giving the Eastern Europeans a rough deal! however on balance it is these people, that are regulary adopting these fields for their Booze Parties and leaving behind their litter, and broken bottles behind. So lets ask them politely to clean up their act too, then I see no reason why we cant rub along nicely togethe,r maybe a few Polite Notices would'nt go amiss. Then we will see if they really do want to fit into our Society. Failing that a few well placed sprinklers might do the job :0)
