THANK YOU to everyone who sent in their photographs/entries for the Newsletter. Please keep them coming – particularly for December’s issue. 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. Our Fuel Club means fewer lorries entering the village as they offer a top up service around the end of the first week of each month. Their details are Conquest Oil Company, on 01525 402209/402073. Sadly with the darker evenings also comes increases in opportunist burglaries, November, apparently, statistically has the highest incidence of this type of crime, back gardens and garden sheds are particularly vulnerable and simple measures like timers on lights can indicate your presence even when you are out. A few minutes thought of where your property may be vulnerable could save you the trauma of the aftermath of unwanted visitors. Now Poo, a subject dear to all our hearts and one that often appears on these pages. We still suffer from inconsiderate dog owners not clearing up after their pets, but what really amazes me are those who bag it and then leave the bag on the path!! explain that to me if you can, particularly when we have so many Dog Waste Bins in the Village. If you spot an offender you can ring South Cambs District Council and report them anonymously, so please ‘bag it and bin it’ The Christmas Lights are scheduled to go up on the Peace Tree on Friday 2nd December, any offers of help to me please, and another date for your diaries, the Village Christmas Party will be on Saturday, 3rd December at The Cade 2pm – 4.30pm The next PC meeting will be at The Cade on Tuesday, 8th November commencing at 7.30pm hope to see you there.

This was a very enjoyable event, raising a wonderful £308. Many thanks to all those who helped on the day, donated or came along on the day! The next Coffee Morning will be held in the late spring 2017 and will include a plant sale. ST PANDIONIA’S PARISH – NOVEMBER Many thanks to all those who helped with the churchyard clear up last month. It was great to have so many helpers and we made a lot of progress. This month our thoughts turn to remembrance and we are looking forward to the “Lest We Forget” concert at the church on Saturday 12th November. More details elsewhere in the newsletter so book your tickets now. Our annual service of Remembrance will be on Sunday 13th November 9.00am starting at the lych gate. You may have noticed the scaffolding that is currently up around the church. Earlier this year we were shocked to discover that urgent repairs were needed to the tower. Bits of masonry had quite literally started to fall off and this discovery was followed by a large quote to put things right. However, thanks to your generosity at the Safari Supper and Fete as well as grants from the National Churches Trust, All Churches Trust and the Amey Foundation, amazingly the money has come in and the work is going ahead. Please could we ask you to be extra vigilant while the scaffolding is in place, particularly as the nights get longer. Church lead thieves have recently targeted local churches so if you see anything suspicious ring the police immediately. As we thank God for His provision for our church building, we also want to be generous to others. One small way we try and do this is by having a collection box for St Neots Food Bank in the church - it’s not just food that is needed, loo rolls, toiletries and cleaning supplies are also much appreciated. Do add to the box when you can. Finally congratulations to our latest 100 club winners: 1st prize Iris Purser, 2nd prize Sylvia McSweeney and 3rd prize Mel Lowther. The final 2016 Draw will take place next month and there are a few numbers still available. Do give Nichola (880285) a call so you have a chance to win. Kids Rock Sunday 20 November 10.15-11.30am at the Cade Pavilion, Eltisley Activities, games, bible stories and fun for KS1 and KS2 children. For more information talk to Bruce (880020) or Sarah (880691) ELTISLEY FRIENDSHIP GROUP: We would like to thank all those who supported our September Autumn Fayre which was very successful. Our Speaker on 9th November will be Barbara Ward – subject ‘My Collection of Bookmarks’. The meeting will be at The Cade Pavilion as always – all welcome, guests £1. On 14th December there will be a ‘Christmas Celebration’ at 2pm in The Cade Pavilion. All welcome again, guests £1. MacMillan Coffee Morning in Eltisley: On the 30th September 2016, Jane Kennedy hosted The World's Biggest Coffee Morning for the 2nd year running in aid of MacMillan Cancer Relief. The Grand total this year was £575.00 in just 2 hours which was just AMAZING… so a huge ‘thank you’ to all of you that supplied cakes and raffle prizes and everyone who came to support this event at The Cade Pavilion. Every penny counts... Special thanks to Jane's little helpers, Wendy, Lynda, Sheila, Ros, Claire, Debbie and Tracey.

  • The Six Villages Newsletter
    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.

  • 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.
