    Annual Parish Meeting Minutes April 2015

    EVENLEY PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Evenley Parish Council Annual Meeting held on Monday 20th April 2015 at 7:30pm in the Village Hall. Present: Alan Thornhill (Chair), Jean Morgan, Jackie Fox, Jill Kelly, Mike Bosher, Michael Genner, Kirsty Buttle (Clerk), County Cllr Ron Sawbridge, District Cllr John Townsend, Helen Howard (Northamptonshire Highways), Chris Wragg (Northamptonshire Highways), Kay Baul (Evenley Residents Association). Also present were 22 parishioners. 1. Apologies - Apologies were received from Keith Cousins, Kevin O’Reagan, Carrie O’Reagan. Mike Bosher will be late. 2. Minutes of previous Annual Parish Meeting held on 7th April 2014 were approved. 3. Matters arising – No matters were raised. 4. Report from Cllr Ron Sawbridge, Northamptonshire County Council - The present method of the council providing services is no longer sustainable; it can’t keep on reducing costs by improving efficiency in the way it has done over the last few years. Costs of the base budget have already been reduced by £200m and they still have to reduce by a further £148m over the next five years. A continuation of the present method of providing services would drastically reduce the quality to an unacceptable level. The council will need to become a much smaller organisation commissioning other agencies to carry out activities to help the council achieve its goals for residents. The County Council will dramatically reduce the number of employees down to around 250, commissioning services from a federation of organisations including private businesses, Social Enterprises, Mutuals, Council owned companies, and Charities. The intention will be to transfer as many existing staff as is possible to the new providers.

    Helmdon’s War Memorial The Men Behind the Names WEA Helmdon Branch November 2016 | The Men Behind the Names Contents Preface History of the War Memorial Index of Service Records (WWI unless stated otherwise) Edmund John Ayres George Victor Creed Charles Frederick Finch Arthur Oliver Franklin John Thomas Grant Alfred Humphrey Sidney Lines William Merrison William Harold Seckington Charles Arthur John Southam James Tugwood Harry Turnham William Edwin Turnham Frederick John Watson Frank Branson Watts Francis John Winmill Alfred George Humphrey (WWII) The Helmdon Roll of Honour & other Helmdon connections - William John Major - Edward Stanley Strachan Acknowledgements Appendix Memorial Dedication Service Preface Helmdon’s War Memorial - The Men Behind the Names In 2014, the 100th Anniversary of the start of the 1914 -1918 Great War, a group of Helmdon residents decided to research and publish personal details of those servicemen whose names appear on the Helmdon War Memorial. Such was their enthusiasm that the work has expanded into looking at other aspects, notably the Roll of Honour of Old Boys of Helmdon School Who Served in the First World War. First published in 2014, this 2016 update includes newly discovered facts and stories. The most relevant, up-to-date information available has been put together and can be printed off as a booklet. It is to be hoped that it will not only add to the history of Helmdon but that it will go some way to honour the great sacrifice made by those village servicemen. The authors apologise that some entries do not contain as much detail as others; available records are not always fruitful.
