Although our library is not at risk of closure at the moment, the service has already suffered a reduction in staff & opening hours/times & we cannot afford to be complacent. Library usage is judged by footfall, i.e. the number of visits made using a library card & pin number to borrow books, magazines etc or to use the computers. Calling in does not count. The Friends want you to know what is available for you at your local library. Did you UNIT 11 HARLEY IND. PARK know you can borrow magazines?

The library is important for children, providing Storytime sessions & organising holiday activities to encourage reading. So, if you haven’t thought about using the library, please go in to have a good look at what it can offer you, have a browse & see if you can make good ‘footfall’ use of this FROM: Rev Nigel Pearson A letter from the Farm 2015 What a start and what a finish (or nearly finished) to the 2015 harvest! Another different year and as always, no two years are the same. For those who didn’t get their oil seed rape drilled early last summer (i.e. sown, and without the advantage of the banned neonicotinoid seed dressing), the flea beetle will have probably decimated a significant proportion of the crop in the autumn, particularly in South and East Cambridgeshire and in Hertfordshire. Much autumn insecticide was used to save the crop but for many, to no avail. So average yields in this area were well down for oil seed rape. In contrast, for many, the wheat harvest has been the best in living memory, also producing vast quantities of straw which can be seen stacked up all over the landscape - much destined for the power stations. Many farmers on our bolder clay limit the area of straw they bale, preferring to return it to the soil, but the quantities produced this year have been so great, that for many varieties, it would have been very difficult to cultivate the land after harvest without removing it. Spring malting Barley and spring peas have similarly yielded well. On our farm, the average age of permanent staff is (at last) beginning to fall from 67 with a 38 year old family member and mid 50 year old Stephen joining the team – and, not surprisingly, the pace of activity is beginning to accelerate; the average age of the more temporary harvest staff is brought down from 71 to 63 by our excellent student Tom age 20. Training the next generation has been the order of the day, so Tom the student is now driving tractors and occasionally the telescopic handler, and driving them well, and the youthful member of the family is learning and fast. We have been lucky this year (so far!) with only two minor accidents: (a) the tail gate lock of the loaded trailer snapped and the gate opened under circumstances best not mentioned, and pouring large quantities of wheat all over Tom the student; no danger to life or limb, but shovelling several tonnes of wheat back into the hopper was kindly taken with good grace. We wish Tom, all the best as he starts his first year at Nottingham University. (b) the tail gate hatch was left half open leaving a large trail of corn ¼ mile between the church and the farmyard, which had to be swept up quickly to stop any cycle accidents - followed by plenty of entertaining comments from our next door farmer such as “ just because you are short of storage capacity, do you have to put it all over the road”. We are already preparing the ground for the next crop. As it says in Micah the time comes when “You shall sow, but you shall not reap” – true for every generation, and I for one am very happy to pass the baton on, and just ‘be around’ to assist as required. So, we shall soon be watching our last trailer of wheat coming into the yard, and reflect what a blessing it has been to have farmed for 25 years, what unbelievable productivity comes from one grain of seed producing perhaps a hundred fold, how a field of 60 acres produces ½ million packets of Weetabix, and quietly thank all those who have supported us over the years, and thank the God of love and forgiveness who has given this extraordinary privilege to us. CADE PAVILION NEWS Bar Opening Times: Fri: 8pm-11pm and Sun: 12pm-2pm (For bookings/hire contact Colin & Val: email: [email protected] or Tel 880665) We are very pleased to report that the new storage building is now complete and we will be moving all our equipment in on Saturday 14th November and also having our autumn tidy-up of The Cade on the same day, so if you are able to come along between 9.30am and 12pm to lend a hand, that would be much appreciated – coffee and refreshments will be in abundance.

ELTISLEY ROGER’S RAMBLINGS We sat and froze at our Speedwatch session this month with a distinctly autumnal feel to the air, but the good news is that the number of offenders does seem to be dropping and we should soon have the Vehicle Activated Warning Sign to reinforce our activities. The bad news is that our Village working party was particularly poorly attended and, without the help of our stalwart Paul Wright, I would have been alone! The object of these sessions is to keep the precept down so clearly, if we fail to muster enough support, we will be forced to employ contractors and the Parish maintenance costs will increase.

    THE SIX VILLAGES NEWSLETTER MARCH 2018 FROM REVD NIGEL DI CASTIGLIONE: Giving up or giving out? When I was a curate a parishioner told me on Ash b e in sp ir e d Wednesday ‘I’m giving up church for with Lent!’ I was so surprised I said Sl imming nothing. She did stay away from church World for the next 5 weeks but, thankfully she was back at Easter. Many of us have a TUESDAYS rather negative view of Lent. We try to Papworth Everard give up chocolate, drinking alcohol, Village Hall watching TV or whatever and try to 5.30 & 7.30pm feel virtuous for having done so. If Vicky: 07935795425 that is your current challenge don’t let me discourage you; Everyone is welcome! but for others – Real support, real food, real success! reading this in the middle of Lent – why don’t we think of taking something on slimmingworld.co.uk instead? 0344 897 8000 The Bible tells us the first Lent was when Jesus took on consciously following the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit. Many of us might ask ”What does that look like?” One of the best descriptions I know is from a fellow church leader who speaks of us ‘taking note of the whispers of God’. I remember – may be 20+ years ago – thinking to myself I really must pop in and see Jack … then deciding I was too busy that day so no I would do that tomorrow. The following morning the phone rang – it was a Funeral Director to say: ‘Jack died during the night; will you take his funeral?’ I had heard the whisper of God but dismissed it as something no more than a random thought and could wait.

These photographs were taken by Ken Munday from Graveley ELTISLEY ROGER’S RAMBLINGS Well, I predicted it, and sure enough Highways England (formerly the Highways Agency – whatever did that pointless rebranding cost?) failed to appear yet again at a meeting on 29th September to discuss the proposed new dualled A428. If this is an indication of their efficiency then perhaps the road will never appear also – I expect holidays got in the way! It is worth noting that if the new road is eventually built work will not commence until 2020. We continue to press for improvements to the Cambridge Road junction, particularly as the A428 is advertised by Highways England as the “preferred diversion route” during the work on the A14 – can you believe that? – so the overstretched road will be even busier. To add power to our elbow please write to Highways England, your County Councillor and your MP expressing your concern. If you are unsure of the contact details please phone me 01480 880122. As I write we are enjoying a long spell of settled mild weather but winter is just around the corner, and if you have not done so it would be opportune to fill up your oil tanks, particularly as prices are rising.

  • Bourn Parish Council (Representations 59165 and 59159) in Response to Inspector’S Matters and Issues for Joint Hearing Sessions, Block 1, in November 2014
    MATTER 2/16748 Statement on behalf of Bourn Parish Council (Representations 59165 and 59159) in response to Inspector’s Matters and Issues for Joint Hearing Sessions, Block 1, in November 2014. This statement is submitted by Bourn Parish Council on behalf of Coalition of Parish Councils, formed to oppose unsustainable major housing developments in the A428 corridor1. It responds to issues under Matter 2 (Overall Spatial vision and general issues). Although the examples we give relate mainly to the A428 corridor, in the west of the district, we consider this valid because the major development planned in this area are an important component of SCDC’s overall spatial vision and strategy, which we consider is unsound Matter 2: Issue (a): Is the overarching development strategy….soundly based and will it deliver sustainable development in accordance with the principles of the NPPF? In our opinion, the Local Plan is unsound, in a number of key respects, and will not deliver sustainable development in accordance with the NPPF. 1. The proposed major new housing developments in the A428 corridor are located too far away from jobs (and centres of shopping, leisure, education and entertainment). The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), paragraph 37 states: Planning policies should aim for a balance of land uses within their area so that people can be encouraged to minimise journey lengths for employment, shopping, leisure, education and other activities. Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire is one of the fastest growing regions in the UK. This growth is being driven by hi-tech industries (IT and bio-technology), which are concentrated in the City of Cambridge and in science parks to the north and south of the city in South Cambridgeshire.
