A SENIOR Cabinet member of Fenland District Council and the man responsible for the environment has tonight dramatically intervened in the row over waste collection at Wisbech market.

Councillor Peter Murphy, portfolio holder responsible for the environment, issued a strongly worded letter in which he advised Wisbech Town Council that stall holders are entitled to the same level of service that was previously provided by Fenland Council.

In a letter sent to this newspaper late today Cllr Murphy wrote: “I am concerned that the recent comments of Erbie Murat, the Wisbech Town Council clerk, may have misled some people about who is responsible for waste clearance in Wisbech Market Place.
