1 0 SALTFORD HALL DIARY AND BOOKINGS

From The Booking Officer At the end of June I shall have been in post for one year and I would like to thank the many people that I have dealt with for their tolerance as I learned the ropes and instigated new procedures. Celia Lapin, my predecessor, was most helpful and has been a reliable back up when I have been away. But if the planning seems an ardous job then spare a thought for the caretaker and her cleaning teams who have to cope with a winter season of 45 bookings per week, frequently ten per day.

The SCAN of last year said "Welcome to the team, David" and I can certainly testify to the team effort that is Saltford Community Association. Our debate with the Sports Club , was reported in the newspapers as a threat to our business, whereas the threat was to the facility that is so heavily used - 1100 people per week in January - rangeing from small , groups to large national organisations. Whatever the future holds we must surely endeavour to continue to provide this sought after facility in the same way.

Would all users please note the following points:-

I. Dates for the 1998/99 session should be sent to me as soon as possible together with any requests for longer term reservations.

2. The scale of charges has been reviewed and will be implemented from 1st September 1998. Regular users will be notified in advance so that the new prices may be included in their budgets for the coming year.

16 SALTFORD PARISH COUNCIL NEWS

i~~k ~1~h~I~~~S~rs M L M Freemantle, 489, Bath Road, Saltford, Bristol BS31

POSTAL DELIVERIES It appears .that n~rly everyone i~ SalLford has been affected by the recent changes to thc postal ~ell~ery I~m es, by varying amounts. This has been caused by a staffing reo.rgamsallon which has been based on the designation of Sall[ord as a "rural area" for which .there are later t.i me restriction for the delivery of mail each day . The P~i Sh Council has expr~ssed Its concern at this designation which it considers to be unjustified and has emphaSised the comments and complaints made by residents. B&NES Councillors. F~ancine Haeberling and Gordon Wood, have asked to meet Royal Mail' s Customer Services Manager, and the Parish Council will await the outcome of this with interest. FOOTPATH MAPS At the time of writing, the revised issue of the popular "Saltford on Foot" footpath map is with the printers, and will be available as soon as possible from local outlets, price SOp. This reprint includes the route of the newly diverted footpath from Glenavon Farm. TREES The Parish Council's attention was recently drawn to the problem of ivy on many tees around Saltford. Those responsible for trees on public land have already been made aware for the need to cut the ivy from around the base to prevent the ivy damaging the trees, but it is apparent the many trees are similarly affected on private land, all homeowners are requested to simply cut the "leaders" of ivy to prevent damage to many mature trees around the village. This is also the time of year when many complaints are received about overhanging trees and shrubs forcing pedestrians to duck over the branches, or reducing the width of pavements. Please check the areas outside your home to make sure other residents are not affected, even if you do not walk past regularly yourself. COUNCILLOR'S SURGERIES The third Councillor's Surgery will be held on Saturday 20th June 1998, when a Parish Councillor will be available from lOam to II am in the Parish Council office (through Davies & Way estate agents). This was originally set up on a three month trial basis and the Parish Council will shortly be considering whether it should continue. I understand that those residents who came to the first surgery found it helpful. KEYNSHAM POLlCE One of the questions at the recent Parish Meeting was how to contact the police. It was emphasised that 999 should be dialled for any situation when an immediate police presence was needed (including any incidents involving damage to property) - if necessary, the operator would prioritise incidents to be attended to. Otherwise, the Police have now confirmed the general number on which to contact Keynsham Police as 0117 945 4766. Thank you to the representatives of local organisations who gave reports and the residents who came to the meeting. Madeline Freemantle, Clerk
