Chairman's Message Oldland Parish Council’s Newsletter Covering the parish wards of Barrs Court, Cadbury Heath, Longwell Green, Orchard, Willsbridge and Wraxall NEWSLETTER NO. 42 ~ AUTUMN 2015 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Welcome to our latest Parish magazine and I’m delighted to be able to take this opportunity to introduce myself and the new Oldland Parish Council, following the recent elections. Thanks go to all of our parishioners who voted! It was certainly a hectic day with three elections going on at the same time! We have a brand new council with some old faces and a number of new ones as well and you can be assured that all of your hard working councillors will be doing their best for the Parish – which incidentally, is one of the largest parishes in the country. My name is Ron Hardie and I have served as a Councillor for a number of years. I am very honoured to have been selected to Chair the Council. We have had many success in the past and we will continue to work hard to satisfy you, our parishioners. To that end, we earnestly seek your input. So if you have comments, suggestions or just questions about what we do and how we can help you please let your local councillor, the Clerk or myself know. Don’t forget that all our Council meetings and committee meetings are open to the public and we always have a slot for public participation where parishioners can speak. We meet as a full Council each month and in between have various committee meetings. So come along if you would like to see how it works! We will be having our popular Parish Evening on 9 October 2015 and I encourage representatives of local groups and organisations to come along, have a glass of something and meet the Council in an informal setting. Prizes for Parish in Bloom, and other awards will also be presented. The event is held in the recently refurbished Cadbury Heath Hall which is proving to be very popular for many groups and functions. (continued on page 2) CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (cont) These are hard times as we know and your Council will be doing its best to maintain the value for money that you have come to expect from us. We have responsibility for many more local functions than in the past including grass cutting, dog bins, youth provision etc. These services now fall to us to manage so again if you think there are ways to improve let us know. We have also been running for two years a Community Speed Watch to try to reduce speeding on the roads in the Parish. This has been very successfully managed by Councillor Graham Downing who is always looking for volunteers so if you can give an hour or two to help please contact the Clerk. So there we are, a new Council and new responsibilities. We are certainly looking forward to the challenge and I hope you, the parishioners, will take the opportunity to get involved as well. In closing I should like to take this opportunity to congratulate Councilor Sam Balch (our youngest hard working Councillor) on achieving his degree in teaching. Well done Sam!! I’m sure you will be a credit to the teaching profession.

  • Thursday 3Rd May. Mangotsfield to Bradford on Avon. Report from Pete Campbell
    Thursday 3rd May. Mangotsfield to Bradford on Avon. Report from Pete Campbell: Oh no! Bill called in sick with a urinary tract infection which sounds bad to me (never having had one) and is apparently worse. He's feeling better than he was now that the antibiotics are helping but we're not sure when the Giant will be back on the road. Also on the subject of sickness, Alex has been fitted with a pacemaker so we can expect bionic performances from him when he's back with us. So with Bill being on the sofa with a cup of tea, you're having to make do with my idea of what today's faster ride was like. When people are being asked to lead a ride, I always like to say that the format is "entirely up to you - as fast or as slow as you like, up as many hills as you like." Some look for a flat route, some take a leisurely approach with maybe a stop for a cultural interlude. Martyn was leading today, so it was likely we'd be at the faster end of the spectrum. Steve had arranged a less intense ride for any sensible people turning up at Mangotsfield station, and he had a few takers. So a group of maybe fifteen or sixteen left in the direction of Pucklechurch. Before the village Chris Hume realised he'd thought today's pace would be the normal Thursday pace (what a mistake) and turned back. After climbing the Hinton bypass Mike Sennett realised he'd also made the same mistake and decided to make his own way to Bradford on Avon.

  • News for December 2016 1St December. Christmas Lunch. Report from Pete Campbell
    News for December 2016 1st December. Christmas lunch. Report from Pete Campbell: How can I make today's ride to Christmas lunch at the Old Royal Ship a bit different to usual, I thought. Normally its more or less direct from Mangotsfield to Luckington, but the calendar had Bitton Station down as the start (can't remember why we're throwing the long-standing traditional Mangotsfield start out the window, but I guess that's what happens when you get kids involved). So I thought, through Bath on the A4 and up Bannerdown, we've not done that for a while. But when I rode it a week ago it took me two and a half hours and I got home knackered. So something gentler for my cycling mates was called for. Anyway, all the planning was a waste of time. Eighteen people met at Bitton on a freezing morning, Martyn's fixie sporting tinsel and decs. I'd planned a normal BTOTC route up Golden Valley, Wick, Doynton, Dyrham Hill, Marshfield, etc. Wednesday morning Peter Ralph texted me about how on Tuesday afternoon he'd hit some black ice just south of Wick so would be driving to the Ship. By the time we got to the same spot, there wa sheet ice for a quarter of a mile where we dismounted and pushed, walking on the narrow verge. Stuart was on his trike which looked very sensible to me (as I assume you can't fall off, can you), but I changed my opinion when he spun it around and fell off.
