HAIL STORM INSURANCE
HAILSTONES larger than marbles battered Eastrea in the recent freak storm. Garden lamps were broken and the roofs of some conservatories were damaged. Our pictures (taken by Katie King, who was visiting the village at the time) remind us of the remarkable size of the hailstones. Such losses should be covered by your house insurance. If you need photographs to support a claim, then
TESCO PLAN
COUNTRY PARK SET TO GO AHEAD HARRIER DEVELOPMENTS of Manea have finally lost their bid to overturn the planning permission granted by Fenland for a new Sainsbury supermarket and country park between Eastrea and Whittlesey. Mr Richard Sears from the Harrier Developments company presented a detailed objection which the judge at the High Court admitted was ‘erudite’ but it failed to impress. The judge concluded it was ‘totally without merit.’ Sainsbury’s and Whitacre have since put up signs announcing their success and, if all goes well, work on the development should start in the autumn.

They are currently moving ahead with preparatory work on their plans for the Station Road site (above). Recently they have been reported as carrying out drainage surveys, so — who knows? — we could end up with two new supermarkets.
