Finding out more about the hospital trains, I was intrigued to learn that the injured men taken of at Meldreth Station were in fact Americans operating overseas and were transported to a hospital set within the grounds of Wimpole Estate, next to the village of Arrington.

  • A Meeting of Croydon Parish Council Was Held on Wednesday 20Th January 2021 Via Zoom at 7.30Pm
    A meeting of Croydon Parish Council was held on Wednesday 20th January 2021 via Zoom at 7.30pm. Due to Government advice on social contact and distancing, open Council meetings are suspended until further notice and the required meetings will be held remotely. Apologies: Mr Brown - unavailable, Ms Newland - convalescing. Present: Mrs Slator, Mr Barnes, Mr Wenman, Mr Wheeler, Cllr Williams, Cllr Kindersley, two members of the public and the Clerk. Declarations of Interest: None received. District Cllr Kindersley gave a report to the meeting:- Arrington Parking: The original consultation held in Arrington by CCC was sadly lacking, as it did not reach everyone who has been inconvenienced by the parking. Wimpole Park states that parking on site is controled in order to limit the number of people in the Park at any one time. This is ridiculous as people who park in Arrington can enter the park via the Arrington Gate, and are therefore not counted! The amount of car parking in Church Lane and Church End in Arrington, and sometimes on the A1198 and in Wimpole gateway, is getting worse. It seems that CCC Highways is willing to put double yellow lines on the roads as requested by Arrington Parish Council, however it is not certain how effective these will be and whether it will push the parking further towards Croydon - time will tell. Flooding: The owner of the Solar Farm in Croydon has been approached regarding compliance with Condition 5 of the Planning Permission, but is not engaging. It is estimated that one third of the flood water is coming from the Solar Farm and the remaining two thirds from field run-off and rainfall.
