News In Brief.... Park Farm & Stanground

Magna Vox Pops

Very concerned that the fiction that Magna Park will create 5,000 new jobs is still being promoted, when we have repeatedly proven that no more than 1,000 LOCAL jobs are involved. The Magna Park developers Gazeley are a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World who are in extreme financial difficulty and currently offloading none core businesses...

Yobbos on the Green Wheel

We had an incident on Park Farm last night. Police were alerted. A Group of very drunk underage 16 year olds with a box of lager cans and large bottles of cider. After a spot of 'mooning' they started throwing cans at the swans.


They then attempted to knock out the street lighting on the path to the Green Wheel and managed to fuse one sodium lamp without throwing stones or climbing the lamp standard. This is how its done. You simply single mule kick the lamp standard (the new seemingly cheaper ones are hollow) vibration does the rest...... luckily a member has cameras in the area and the Yobbo left hand and footprints on the lamp standard.

WEBSITE Comments Log

Complaint via the website re potholes in the road on the following

Conygree Road

Lawson Avenue

..the few that have been filled in are frankly substandard and not flush with the surrounding surface. Perhaps the appropriate officer can inspect them? This has now been passed to PCC for action.

Stanground Library under attack....

Apparently the number of books that can borrowed has now been reduced to six at a time and the indexing is now exceedingly difficult to negotiate on computer, clearly this will held reduce the number of borrowings from Stanground leading to claims that the Library isn't being used ...... (This is now on the 'Concern radar!')

A good day for justice it seems. Edward Woollard who was revealed as the infamous thug who threw a fire extinguisher off the roof off CCHQ, narrowly avoiding killing a Police Officer, has been sent down for 2 years and 8 months for violent disorder.

The judge said the heavy sentence against Wollard is warning to other protesters not to ‘cross the line’.

Magna Park Stanground, the Parent Delivers....

Chairman, Dubai World

Jafza, Gazeley (parent company of the proposed Magna Park, Stanground, Peterborough Developers Gazeley UK) delivers bespoke, state-of-the-art sustainable logistics facility to CEVA

EZW’s Jafza, Gazeley delivered its first, state-of-the-art built-to-suit, environmentally efficient logistics facility, eight months after holding the ground breaking ceremony.

Featuring an array of eco- friendly measures, the 63,000 square metre distribution centre was built for global supply chain management company, CEVA Logistics. The development not only delivers new standards of specification to the region but it was also delivered in record time. The project management team facilitated early access for CEVA; six weeks before actual completion date. This enabled CEVA to complete the installation of racking and commence immediate operations on the day of handover.

The project incorporates a wide range of sustainable features including solar powered lighting, the use of recycled and locally sourced materials and state-of-the-art warehouse lighting, complete with motion detectors and dimming controls; a system that uses at least 20% less energy than normal lighting. The suite of eco-initiatives helped the project achieve a LEED Silver rating.

The inauguration of the new facility was attended by Salma Ali Saif bin Hareb, CEO, Economic Zones World (EZW), the parent company of Jafza, Gazeley together with, several of CEVA’s Middle East Management team.

Salma Ali Saif bin Hareb, CEO, Economic Zones World [GAZELEY UKs' Parent Company] said: “The new CEVA facility is a significant achievement that exemplifies the top of the range warehousing facilities that will be the future of logistics infrastructure in the region. Such warehouses are expertly designed and are build-to-suit exact customer requirements; sustainable; as well as strategically located. We remain committed to providing developments that facilitate the long-term business sustainability of our clients. This project, further, reaffirms our social responsibility & commitment to the environment, which form an integral part of our overall business strategy.”

The facility comprises two units; one with 35,000 square metres of warehouse and 500 square metres of office space and the second with 26,000 square metres of warehouse and 400 square metres of office space. The successful construction of the scheme was carried out by a newly formed joint venture between ECC and McLaren Construction.

The project originated from EZW’s global customer relationship with CEVA in Europe and followed on from successful deals in Spain and Italy. The new 63,000 square metre facility, located in the South Zone of the Jebel Ali Free Zone, marks the second joint project for EZW and CEVA in the region. Last year CEVA leased a unique 12,000 square metre warehouse known as the Pyramid Building in Jafza.

EZW provides such state-of-the-art sustainable product throughout the UK and mainland Europe through its European arm. Gazeley UK. It has built to date more than 6.4 million square metres of quality warehouses and distribution parks. The company has a proven track record in the delivery of built-to-suit distribution centres from 10 000 m² on a leasehold or freehold to suit customers’ diverse needs.

Burglar Jailed

A MAN has been jailed for three-and-a-half years for a burglary in which he stole about £2500 worth of goods. Marc Sunderland, 29, of Bozeat Way, Westwood, Peterborough, forced a rear patio door of a property in Pendleton, Peterborough, during the day on September 14 last year. He searched the house and took a lap top computer, a 40" LCD television, jewellery and a mobile phone, worth a total of about £2500, from an upstairs bedroom. When the victims arrived home from work they contacted police. Sunderland's fingerprints were discovered on a small money jar on a table in the bedroom. In police interview, Sunderland claimed he had been asked by a friend, who lived at the property, to remove the goods. However, Sunderland was not known to the victims and on Tuesday (January 11) he pleaded guilty to burglary at Peterborough Crown Court.DC John Harlock, who investigated, said: "Sunderland was identified as a suspected prolific offender as part of Operation Alert and I am confident we will see fewer burglaries with him behind bars. He initially denied burglary but changed his plea to guilty at the last minute on Tuesday."

On My Soapbox PFNW Talking Point

Stavros Stewart might lead us all on a merry dance....

This Talking Point was prompted by Stewart Jackson MP sounding off in the local newspaper and really it deserves some kind of answer or rebuttal. What do you think? Feel free to add your comments and we'll get them to Mr Jackson!

STOP PRESS: THE PLAN WAS VOTED THROUGH, but unfortunately so was the Arab Dubai World promoted MAGNA PARK proposal, which will plant a major rail freight/road freight container terminal and mega-warehouses alongside Park Farm. This was due in part to our local Cllr. Janet Wilkinson for reasons best known to herself, voting in favour!!!!!! Cllr. Wilkinson isn't standing again and we understand no longer lives in the area, hopefully the next Cllr. will see the folly of all this. The fiction that that Magna Park will create 5,000 local jobs is repeated in the report, when at best no more than 1,000 will be employed on site and many of those jobs will be sourced from outside the region.

I really cannot understand why Stewart Jackson MP continues to plough a sad, lonely furrow over the proposed new housing issue. 25,000, 250,000 or even 25 million homes is simply an aspirational target and not a figure cast in stone. Why do the numbers matter, it's only a projection?

The final number of houses after countless planning inquiries and finding developers (and banks!) willing to fund the schemes will also put a damper on the figures. As Mr Jackson was a banker (LOUD BOO!) a Lloyds Bank High Street Bank Manager to be exact before taking up politics he should realise this.

If you don't show willing in the first place and extend the welcome mat, no one outside our region or in Europe will ever take Peterborough seriously as a possible well placed development and investment opportunity. Stewart Jacksons' continual carping just points up dissent and division (to be fair to our fine City, we should recognise Stewart Jackson considers West London to be his first home).

The MP for Central Peterborough, has never really championed anything substantial or worthwhile and when his time playing politics ends what will the historians write about him? Stewart Jackson has always found time to belittle and pick holes in any local initiative, usually through a rant on Twitter. We should also factor in that he is only the MP for Central Peterborough, he only represents a proportion of the City, indeed his remit doesn't even extend as far as Stanground or Park Farm. So Mr Jackson isn't even my voice in Whitehall as part of a weakened coalition to boot....

At the very well attended Neighbourhood Policing Panel meeting held in Stanground last night and reported on the Park Farm Neighbourhood Watch Website, the deputy leader of council let slip the fact that Peterborough has millions more in terms of inbound resident population than Whitehall officially recognises. This has a direct bearing on funding from Whitehall and of course if Stewart Jacksons deprecating view was taken up by the Coalition, the City of Peterborough would continue to be deprived of inward investment and additional funding from Whitehall. It matters not, which faction or government is in power. MP's when not being locked up for stealing public funds by way of expenses, should be wholeheartedly supporting and championing each and every initiative and if they are unable to do so, come up with a viable alternative which can be debated by all.

Finally, on a far more important matter, we should send our thoughts and best wishes to the Queensland State Premier and to the City of Brisbane Queensland, Australia and constructively work out a way the City of Peterborough can provide practical help, assistance and tactical support to our Australian cousins. Possibly an airlift of essential heavy engineering equipment, generators, water filtration plants and high volume dirty water pumping sets for example. The floods may have reached their peak but the far more dangerous search and rescue phase is just starting.
