Temperatures are dropping and the evenings are getting darker. As you read this I hope that we are looking forward to a lifting of the current restrictions in time for Christmas. At the November Council meeting your Parish Council took the decision to switch on the Christmas lights sooner rather than later. We hope that they have brought a little light into an otherwise dull world. We realise that some may feel that this is too early for the lights to be on but if they lift the spirits of even one person then we are happy. I hope those further from the centre of the Village are enjoying the expanded provision. Any ideas for next year gratefully received. Thanks to Cllr Bryn Whittaker for liaising with Andy Muskett who put the lights up. Remembrance Sunday took place this year without the usual service in the Church. Wreaths were laid at the Memorial by The Royal British Legion, Central Bedfordshire Council, your Parish Council and the Houghton Pioneers. A socially distanced two minute silence was honoured at 11.00 on Sunday 8th November. In addition to the wreaths, a display of 22 poppies was also laid at the site of the Town Well alongside the Unknown Tommy Silhouette. Further details inside. Thankfully, due to the flagpole having been successfully repaired at last, we were able to raise the Union Jack between the 8th and the 11th of November. With thanks to Jason Lay. Houghton Conquest Newsletter - December 2020 5 Works and repairs to our highways are ongoing with new barriers being installed at the junction of the B530 and The Grove as well as new bollards on the bend from How End to the village. Glebe Way has benefitted from some resurfacing works and potholes in Rectory Lane have been marked up for repair. We have also received notification of a road closure on Bedford Road between Ampthill Road and Sollars Way. This road closure will be between the dates 4th Jan to 30th March 2021 between the hours of 07;30 and 18:00. PCllr Fry continues to report any highways issues that she identifies during her daily horse ride around the village but everyone can report problems on the CBC website when they arise. It is simple to do and the more people that report issues the more awareness CBC will have of our concerns. The speed indicator device has been converted to solar energy to solve the problem of the batteries running out and two additional devices are ready to be mounted. The job is complicated by the current Covid restrictions as it is not possible to carry out the work whilst socially distanced and it is definitely a two-person job! We will endeavour to get the devices into position as soon as possible. PCllr Blackall has been working hard to improve the condition of the playing field. A programme of cutting back and ditch clearance has commenced and should be completed by the time this is published. The repairs and additional security for the pavilion should also have been completed. It is hoped that this will reduce the level of on-going vandalism and thus save un- necessary expenditure. PCllr Blackall has also been in discussion with Marston Vale who have thousands of trees to plant as part of a Government backed initiative. We are looking Houghton Conquest Newsletter - December 2020 6 at a number of areas to plant trees and if anyone has any suggestion please let us know by emailing Gill Wiggs on [email protected]. One suggestion was the planting of a Community Orchard on the land to the rear of Cherry Close. Let us have your thoughts and ideas. Your Parish Council is still two members short, so this is your chance to join us and be part of the decisions that are made about your Village. Just drop Gill a line to let us know you are interested and she will get back to you. Don’t forget that you are welcome to observe all Parish Council meetings and time is always allocated for you to have your say. Now that these meetings are on Zoom you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your armchair! The codes are published on the Agenda on the notice board at the front of the Village shop. Hard copies of the agreed minutes are placed on the noticeboard at the rear of the shop. Electronic versions are on the Parish Council website. https://houghtonconquest-pc.gov.uk All that is left is to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and to express the hope that in the New Year we can welcome a brighter future for us all. Warm Regards Liz Upcoming Parish Council Meetings The next few council meetings may or may not be held in person and we will be reliant on using Zoom and email in order to conduct Parish Council business. Should you wish to raise anything with the Council, please direct your question to the The Houghton Conquest Newsletter - December 2020 7 Clerk, Gill Wiggs via email [email protected] or by post c/o 10 Parklands, Bedford MK41 9LZ The Chair’s newsletter is intended to provide a general update. Agendas and approved minutes can be viewed on the Parish Council website www.houghtonconquest-pc.gov.uk POLICE LIAISON REPORT NOVEMBER 2020 This Photo by Unknown Author As I write this, we are in the middle of another lockdown, of sorts. I reported in September that the easing of the full lockdown had led to an increase in criminal activity. Since then, within the CBC area, it appears to have been ‘business as usual” for the miscreants! That having been said, we are fortunate that Houghton Conquest attracts little police activity and is seen as a low crime village. The biggest problem, within the village, have been burglaries at the Kier building site in Chapel End Rd. Specialist advice has been offered and the police have increased patrols around the area. Houghton Conquest Newsletter - December 2020 8 The wider priority for the police in Central Bedfordshire is cracking down on the supply of drugs. Fortunately, Houghton Conquest does not appear in the list of ‘areas of concern’. As we approach Christmas and the season of celebration [so welcome in what has been a dismal year], the advice continues to be one of caution. Please do ensure that all outbuildings are secured and that gifts are not displayed in full view. We don’t want thieves to be the ones celebrating! Keep your presents secure and out of sight both in your homes and your cars. As always, if anyone sees anything/anyone of concern, please report this either on 101 or: www.bedfordshire.police.uk/report Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful and healthier 2021.

In absolute layman's terms, it's all about making sure companies didn't abuse the personal information that they hold. I'll fully admit that it left my head spinning. Fortunately I've met Paula Creighton from local company STP Compliance who was able to explain in the simplest of terms what it is all about. If your head is spinning too and could do with some help on this, turn to page 12 and get in touch with Paula who I assure you will sort you out! As we don't do an issue for August, by the time I see you again in September all the fun and festivities of the Summer will be over. So make the best of it! Get in the meat (see right) and fire up the barby. Pour yourself a glass of rosé and get out the sunlounger. All those jobs on your to-do list will still be waiting for you once the sun has gone again. All the best, Kirsty DISCLAIMER: While all adverts and editorial are placed in good faith JAC Publications Ltd take no responsibility for the accuracy of statements made or non-performance of contract or product, or damage caused by contributors or advertisers, or for loss arising from non-publication of any advertisement.
