Hutton Cranswick Village in Bloom The In Bloom team is continuing to plant, water, deadhead and weed the ground beds and containers in the village. Most of the plants which had been donated to In Bloom have now been sold with the funds going to In Bloom. Thanks to Gina Simpson for displaying them in her front garden and thanks to those of you who have bought them.

Future events The next meeting of the Village in Bloom team will take place on Tuesday 15th September 2020 at 2.00 pm at the SRA. The meeting will be held outside the Club House under the shelter of the overhanging roof. Help needed We still need more help with the maintenance of the containers and ground beds. Some of our volunteers do have quite a lot of beds and containers to look after and would welcome some help. Visits As gardens are now opening again and if you need to entertain some youngsters why not try Sledmere? The children’s playpark and the Maize Maze are open. The walled garden is worth a visit. https://www.sledmerehouse.com/visiting/book-online

Following the recent change in government guidelines, St Peter’s church is now open for private prayer and public worship. The church is open each Sunday between 3.00pm and 4.00pm for private prayer, with appropriate social distancing in place. A short service of evening prayer is planned for 4.00pm, each Sunday, lasting around 20/25 minutes, again with social distancing in place. It may be necessary to change our plans for public worship at short notice, so it is always best to keep a check on the church noticeboard.

We appreciate that not everybody feels ready to return to our church building, and we continue to meet weekly via Zoom. There is a short (circa 20 mins) service at 10.00am, with bible reading and prayers, and then a second service at 10.45am which adds some hymns. If would like to join us for this worship, please e-mail Revd Simon Elliott ([email protected]) or Martin Adams ([email protected]) and they will send you the full details. We look forward to welcoming you.

We look forward to welcoming you. 7 What is it that is really important in our lives?

The past few months have been a strange time, and if nothing else, it has given us an opportunity to think – think about what we do, how we spend our time. We have also had the chance to think about who, or what is really important to us. Perhaps we have realised that some things in our lives were being taken for granted – we just assumed they would be there. Without warning, they disappear, and we have to learn to do things slightly differently.

Sometimes we don’t realise how important something is to us until we lose it. Take being able to drive as an example. It is wonderful and convenient if we can drive and have a car outside. If we need to go somewhere, pick up the keys, jump in the car and away we go. But we could lose that freedom, perhaps because of a medical condition, or perhaps the car simply refuses to start. All of a sudden, we have to learn to adapt and do something differently. It causes stress and upset – all because we lose something we had taken for granted.

Of course, each of us is a different person, and what is important to me may well not be important to you. I’m sure each of us will have missed something over the course of the past few months, whether it is singing as part of a choir, visiting relatives and giving that grandchild a hug, going to the cinema or for a bit of socialising or perhaps taking that holiday abroad.

Slowly, as restrictions are lifted, some of these activities are allowed again. Whilst the cafes might be open to go and enjoy that morning coffee, not everybody feels safe to go out. We can go back out to the pub, but it is not the same as it used to be. We can visit family members, but then we have to think about social distancing if we are not in our family bubble. Life is still very different.

Perhaps, what this teaches us is that we should never take anything for granted. I have heard a number of people say that they do not want to go back to the way life was before we had heard of coronavirus. They have realised that actually there is a better, healthier, happier way of life. Change may have been forced upon them, but now they have seen the new world, they like it.

For others, it has been an opportunity to think about their spiritual lives, an opportunity to assess how a faith of some sort plays a part in their lives. That may lead to you asking questions – what does Christianity really stand for? If that or any other question is on your mind, we are here to help you. Give us a call or drop us an e-mail – we would love to hear from you.

Dear Friends, Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home!

At this time of year many people up and down the land will be celebrating the 'season' of harvest. Some in schools, some in churches, and some more closer to home as they lift and reap the crops. Many will raise the song of harvest-home by giving thanks to God for his provisions, others will just be thankful and yet others will count the cost or should I say profit? All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield; We need to remember and constantly remind both ourselves and those around us, that harvest time is but a living parable. A living parable of the harvest of souls. As the hymn says 'all the world is God's own field' and one day he will come and reap the harvest. Will we be classed as wheat or weeds? Will our lives or those of our neighbours be considered as yielding the acceptable fruits for God? For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take his harvest home; God will come again of that I am sure, but like the earthly farmer will he reap the crop at any cost or will he decide to plough it in because it is of no value? A harvest that has a value is not dependant on just a corner of the field being up to scratch, but the whole field. We in the Church are like that corner, but we have to ensure that rest of the harvest of humanity comes up to God's high standards. We have the task of being both bearer of the good news that Jesus can change and improve our lives as well as the warning. A warning that those who reject God and turn their backs on him will ultimately pay the price of losing their lives. We must not shirk either duty and then with all are hearts and voices we can proclaim to God Come, with all thine angels come, Raise the glorious harvest home!

20/199 National Highways and Transport (NHT) Public Satisfaction Survey – East Riding of Yorkshire Council was taking part in the annual NHT Public Satisfaction Survey. This was an opportunity for the parish council to express its opinion on various aspects of the services the Council provided, from condition of roads and footpaths, to provision of cycling facilities. 14

20/200 Traffic Speed Survey on Station Road and Hutton Road – It was expected that the speed surveys, originally planned to take place prior to the COVID-19 restrictions, would now take place from the beginning of September, as at that point both businesses and schools were expected to be back in full operation and traffic levels would be sufficient to produce robust data.

20/201 Councillor Vacancies – An update from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Electoral Services Manager on Casual Vacancies was noted.

20/202 East Riding of Yorkshire Community Response Hub – It was noted that recently there had been a decline in calls to the Hub. Leisure centres were likely to soon reopen therefore, there was a need to move the locality hubs that were currently located in the leisure centres. Many staff who had been redeployed from their normal jobs to support the work of the Hub had to return to their usual duties and central government had published updated plans and guidance for people on the Shielded Patient List. As part of the updated plan for the next period, there remained a commitment to ensure that the Hub would continue as long as it was required by residents.

20/203 Southgate Flooding – The East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Flood Risk team was working on a solution which would make the cleaning and maintenance of the existing trash screen easier and, more importantly, safer to maintain going forward. The team was investigating the current gully arrangement on Southgate and how the risk could be reduced by means of replacing pipes and potentially upsizing the gullies themselves. One of the first stages of the process was undertaking an Ecology survey to ensure there was no disturbance to any wildlife, as part of any proposed works.

Ofwat was to be informed of the protracted length of time it was taking Yorkshire Water to resolve recurring issues of sewage discharge onto Southgate and to repair damage made by their contractors to the highway, grass verges and road gullies.

20/204 Play Area – The play area had re-opened on the 4th July, 2020, in consultation with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. To help keep people safe, a public notice reminded the public of the following: - • Judge the risk of COVID-19 to you and your family before entering the play area; • Wash or sanitise your hands before and after using the play area and try not to touch your face while playing; • Remember to social distance from people outside of your bubble; • Refrain from eating and drinking in the play area; • If you or anyone in your family are showing symptoms of COVID-19, do not enter this play area.

A risk assessment and an inspection of the play area had been completed prior to the opening.

Cllr Thompson reported that the improvements to the play area envisaged siting some equipment outside of the existing fenced area onto the Green. There were legislative constraints to overcome, prior to any work being carried out on the Green. Prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, the Council had considered one option for improvements to the play area. Since the COVID-19 restrictions had been eased, it had now been possible to seek proposals from a further two companies. Cllr Thompson would present a report to the next meeting.

20/205 East Riding Outbreak Management Plan – East Riding of Yorkshire Council had requested support, from parish and town councils, for the East Riding Outbreak Management Plan. The Plan had the aim at preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the East Riding of Yorkshire and controlling any local outbreaks if they did occur. Councils were asked to encourage everyone to follow “3 Steps to Safety” Prevent; Notice; Act. STEP 1: Prevent: • Keep your distance – always follow the latest social distance guidance; • Wash your hands - thoroughly washing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds remains the best personal hygiene precaution.

STEP 2: Notice: • Be aware of COVID-19 symptoms – so you can recognise as soon as possible if you or someone close to you has them; - a high temperature; - a new, continuous cough; - a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste. 15

STEP 3: Act: • Get tested – If there is any hint of the symptoms in your household, make sure the person with the symptoms is tested as soon as possible; • Stay home – Do the right thing if you and your household need to self-isolate: - - whether one of you has symptoms and you are waiting for the results; - whether one of you has tested positive; - or whether one of you has been in contact with someone who has tested positive.

A COVID-19 test can be requested by visiting www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or calling 119. Everyone was also encouraged to wear face coverings on public transport. . 20/206 SRA – An update on the restrictions on activities at the SRA was noted.

20/207 New footpath on The Green – Cllr Teare had consulted with East Riding of Yorkshire Council on permissions required to undertake the provision of the new footpath. The Property and Commercial Law Manager had confirmed the parish council had the powers of management and regulation of the Green, but would need to obtain consent under section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 from the Planning Inspectorate.

The Area Engineer for Highway Maintenance had no objection to the proposal subject to any works adjacent to the public highway being undertaken by a contractor with Street Works Accreditation and valid insurance with a minimum of five million pounds public liability indemnity cover.

Permission was not required under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (20/10434/PPA refers).

20/209 New Trees – A resident had offered to fund the planting of some trees in Hutton Cranswick. A proposal from Cllr Poolford that, following the removal of the Pink Chestnut on the Green, three new substantial saplings be planted, in an arc, at a suitable distance away from the location of the Pink Chestnut, was agreed (proposed Cllr Swan/seconded Cllr Teare). It was noted the planting of the trees would need consent under section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 from the Planning Inspectorate.

20/210 Churches Together – Resolved – To approve a request from Churches Together to hold their August Service on The Green (proposed Cllr Lock/seconded Cllr Richardson). The Churches to be reminded to ensure that anyone attending the Service do not park vehicles on the Green.

20/211 Village Leaflet – Resolved – To approve an updated version of the Village Leaflet, subject to incorporating some minor amendments. A stock of 200 was to be purchased at estimated cost of £50.00 (proposed Cllr Richardson /seconded Cllr Thompson).

20/212 Footpath Map – Resolved – To approve a proposal from Cllr Mrs Simpson to produce a large map showing all public footpaths in use, within the Parish boundary. A map would be displayed on the reverse of the existing map boards on Hutton Balk and the Green (proposed Cllr Thompson/seconded Cllr Richardson).

FROM OUR SCHOOL A Newspaper Article by Ava The Crime up the Chimneys

Henry Trolley, who sent a 10 year old boy up a chimney therefore broke the Chimney Sweeps Act, appeared before Hull Crown Court on 16th June 1859. Henry Trolley stood before the court and explained that the boy (James Fisher) was paid for his labour by the provision of bed and board.

James Fisher nervously stated that he was forced up the chimney otherwise he would have been beaten and starved. He explained that he always did what he was told. Lord Booth, who saw the crime for himself, stated “I was shocked, who would ever send an innocent boy up a chimney? He could fall or even worse die!” Henry Trolley confirmed his age was 55 and also confirmed that he used James Fisher as an assistant for cleaning his brushes (which we found out was a lie).

The climbing boy told us that he was petrified because if he didn’t go fast enough the master (Henry Trolley) would light the fire! James Fisher, the victim, stood in the witness box for the first time and announced that when he was in the chimney he felt very distressed. As we all saw for ourselves, he had bruises and cuts everywhere (his arms, legs and head). While Henry Trolley waited for the verdict, he boldly pleaded that he was not guilty despite looking slightly nervous. Mr Trolley was found guilty! He was fined £5 (which is a full month’s rent). If he didn’t pay this fine he would have to go to prison for at least two months!

A Letter Home from the Trenches by Kayleigh

Dear Mother, Merry Christmas. I hope you had a wonderful time. I missed seeing Gran moaning at you for making big Yorkshire puddings! Yesterday was so surreal. Oh, before I forget, I really appreciate the gifts (I will keep them safe until I can come home). I love you. So, we heard your favourite carol being sung by the enemy troops. This made me feel comforted because it reminded me about when you and father had sung that for my first Christmas.

Much to my surprise, a robin appeared and gun fire fell silent. There were many men full of tranquillity. I thought that while I had the chance to have one day of peace, I would take it. I took my hat off and very slowly, went over to the top of the trench. My English troops followed me. To our great relief the Germans did just the same. My heart was racing because I didn’t know if to believe them. I knew that the German Captain would stop at nothing to win the Great War.

As my feet trembled into the middle of No Mans Land, I felt freezing cold fingers placed on my hand. As a silent sigh of relief ran through my body both English and German men cheered. It was wonderful, Mother really. I felt safe and just like I was at home. I showed my new friend (Otto) the picture you sent me. He said that you were beautiful (in German). It’s not all good living here though. Sometimes we have to sleep with little or big pests. Although I have the best friends ever.

I have to go now. Please tell everyone that I am okay. I’m not sure if you are going to get this but if you do, don’t worry about me. Tell father that he needs to stop wearing the jeans that he had in the photograph. I love you all. Love Jim x 20 21

BBQ’s We are still waiting metalwork and signs to complete but several people have used them with disposable options leaving the site clean and tidy.

Sports Football is underway with 3 SRA teams, and Middleton on Saturdays. We also understand Driffield Veterans will use the field on Sundays. Juniors continue on Sundays as normal and are using their new portable goals obtained with a grant from the Football Foundation. The pitches are looking in good condition and are benefitting from use of fertilizer.

Volunteer Groups Thanks to all the volunteers who help at the clubhouse and gardens. A new volunteer fundraising group has been set up and are now running a bar during football games which is proving very successful.

Other fundraisers have volunteered to take on the role of applying for grants towards the erection of the new clubhouse. If you feel you can help, or would like to be involved, then please get in touch!
