A Double Bank-Holiday Weekend? Planting Potatoes? New life in the garden and fields? Resurrection to eternal life of Jesus from the dead? Family round for a roast lamb dinner, easter-egg hunt and simnel cake for tea? Whether or not we are Christians, Easter is as significant in the calendar as is Christmas. It may seem more low-key, but it still shapes the year; the traditions may seem smaller, but they are just as significant and just as set in the national psyche. Easter is coming, and we all notice it in some way. This year Easter will seem different. Thank goodness it shouldn’t be like last year when there was a total lockdown, but it won’t be like any year before either. This year there is just one Easter Sunday service, on Sunday 4th April at 11am in Woodditton. Most people will have to stay outside the church (there will be provision inside for those who really should not be sitting outside). There will be no singing, no catching up and mingling with friends, no coffee after the service, no exchange of the peace, no hugs and handshakes. In fact, it might not feel like much of a celebration at all. (Please check website/church noticeboards/social media in case weather or rising Covid infections mean we have to change worship plans) This year we are reading St Mark’s Gospel, and there the first Easter day doesn’t feel like much of a celebration either! The women who hear that Jesus has risen just run away and forget to pass the message on to the rest of the disciples. Somehow, the muted non-celebratory style this year feels just like a Markan Easter; a bit flat if we are to be honest. And yet, even though Mark tells a rather downbeat story, the reality of the resurrection was true and it is a triumph. Even though our Easter celebrations might seem rather downbeat (maybe lamb chops for two not a roast for the family; Zoom Easter Egg hunts rather than family fun at the National Trust; simnel cakes with only one marzipan ball for Jesus as the disciples are excluded under social distancing rules) we are celebrating and there is new life, whether that’s God’s eternal life or just the miracle of new growth in the spring. No-one should feel forced to attend worship, but if you feel safe, please do come to the service on Easter Sunday (it is about the only “going out” we can do at the moment) and please bear with the down-beat tone of the service, but do celebrate in your own heart that new life is here. Revd. Naomi 5 Easter Sunday This year we will hold just one service on Easter Sunday, April 4th, in Woodditton Church at 11am. This will be a service of Holy Communion and everyone from all our four villages – Cheveley, Ashley, Woodditton, Kirtling, is welcome to attend. To enable social distancing in the church, it is likely that some of the congregation may have to sit or stand outside. We will therefore make the service as short as possible. It will however last at least 30 minutes. Please can I encourage you to dress for the weather: wrap up warmly, wear wellies and bring an umbrella with you. You may also wish to bring a folding chair! I know that some of you should not be sitting outside for a 30 minute service, and so if you really need to be inside, please let me know and I will book you a seat inside Woodditton church. If you are able to sit or stand outside church for the service there is no need to book, so please just turn up. If terrible weather is forecast* for Easter Sunday we will make alternative arrangements, so please check the website, social media and church notice boards if the weather turns foul. Revd. Naomi 01638 730857.

After many years of fundraising, in 2020 we completed the first of our planned projects by installing a fully accessible toilet and upgrading the kitchenette. The long-term aim is for modernisation with enhanced heating, improved lighting and flexible seating options. This will provide a more adaptable and friendly space with better access for all the usual activities of a parish church (worship services, prayer meetings, youth events, baptism, weddings, funerals, etc.) and a wide range of community activities, school visits, concerts, exhibitions, performances, and meetings. The modernisation will be done in several phases as time and money allow. Firstly, we need to start with the repair and repainting of crumbling walls to protect them from further deterioration. The result will be a brighter more welcoming building. After that we hope to refurbish the Nave. The current space is inflexible with the late Victorian pews anchored to the floor. We would like to replace those in need of repair with chairs, the rest we would make free standing so we can re- configure the space to suit the occasion. Our church conservator has recommended that the Victorian wainscoting be removed to allow the plasterwork behind to be inspected and repaired as it is suffering from damp. We will also take the opportunity to repair some loose and damaged parts of the parquet flooring. We anticipate the cost of this phase of the project will be in the region of £20,000. We have already received one grant and have applied for several more, but we will still need to raise a substantial amount from donations – a task even more difficult in current circumstances. Please will you help us to fund some of these costs? . Give a donation? . Sponsor the purchase of a new chair? With your own plaque. Hold a fundraising event! . Consider joining our 200 Club Lottery? You can pick up an appeal leaflet from the church, download a copy from the CG website or contact the appeal organiser, Celia Bruce on 01638 731601 or email [email protected]. Every penny raised will support our project plus all donations and grants will be publicly acknowledged. BE PART OF THIS PROJECT AND KEEP THE CHURCH ALIVE Updated February 2021 8 9 10 11 Cheveley Parish Council - Tuesday 9th March 2021 On Tuesday 9th March meetings of Cheveley Parish Council and Cheveley Pavilion and Recreation Ground Charity were again held via an online meeting platform.

We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why East Cambridgeshire? We are conducting an electoral review of East Cambridgeshire District Council following a request by the Council in order to consider a reduction in council size. Our proposals for East Cambridgeshire East Cambridgeshire District Council currently has 39 councillors. Based on the evidence we received during previous phases of the review, we consider that a council size of 28 members – a reduction of 11 – will ensure that the Council can perform its roles and responsibilities effectively.

  • Local Plan Proposed Submission November 2017
    East Cambridgeshire Local Plan Proposed Submission November 2017 East Cambridgeshire District Council | Local Plan Proposed Submission Foreword Foreword East Cambridgeshire is characterised by its rural farming and equine landscape, interspersed with the City of Ely, small market towns and a wide range of attractive small and medium villages. Within that landscape are some real gems. The magnificent Ely Cathedral sitting proud as a the ‘ship of the fens’; Wicken Fen, which casts us back to a time before humans dominated the planet; the world famous Newmarket July Racecourse; and Anglesey Abbey, with its beautiful formal and informal grounds attracting visitors from far and wide. It’s no wonder that in 2012, the district scooped top spot in the Halifax’s annual rural areas quality of life survey. But there is so much potential to make East Cambridgeshire an even better place: with quality homes people can afford, easier access to shops, workplaces, services and facilities, and new thriving communities, which are welcoming and safe; where new facilities and infrastructure mean that businesses choose to expand or relocate here, bringing jobs and stimulating investment; to visit, a place where people choose to come to enjoy our nature, our history, our shops, our eateries and attractions, while at the same time significantly contributing to our rural and urban economies. And, fundamentally, we need to get building. We need to build a better East Cambridgeshire. In 2014/15, we only built 163 homes across the whole district, and only slightly higher figures of 181 homes in 2015/16 and 232 homes in 2016/17.

  • July 2018 Cresset
    July/August 2018 Bottisham WI Community Fayre On Saturday June 9th the Community Fayre took place on the Primary School playing field. The stalls were ready, the ladies serving the cream teas were poised, it wasn’t cold and it wasn’t raining. All we needed was people to come and support us and you did in hundreds. Proceedings were opened by Roger Jenyns, whose grand mother was the founding member of Bottisham WI one hundred years ago. Master of ceremonies, Richard Morris, made sure everything ran smoothly and even commentated on two horse races. We were entertained by the ‘Panic Steel Band’ and the Devils Dyke Morris Men. There was a decorated bicycle competition, judged by Jill Jenyns. The WI served over a hundred cream teas, the Scouts provided Hot Dogs and hamburgers and the newly named Bottisham Community Sports and Social Club ran the bar. Numerous clubs and societies manned their stalls and with a very high village turn out, hopefully attracted the attention of some new supporters and raised some money for their respective organizations. At the end of the afternoon, everyone seemed happy that the day had been a huge success. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to make this a truly terrific day. Sandra Clark President - Bottisham WI June Issue 463 Welcome to the July issue of your village, or should we also be calling it our community magazine. Last month, two things happened which may mark a change in direction for our village, both potentially positive. Firstly, managed mightily by the WI and their helpers was the Bottisham Community Fayre.

  • Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council
    Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council East Cambridgeshire - Conservative Party Response from South East Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (SECCA) Summary 1. We believe that single Member Divisions provide for the most effective local government in East Cambridgeshire, giving greater clarity to the electorate and to City, Town and Parish Councils and other local organisations. 2. Our preferred scenario (scenario 1) is based on 63 Members, meaning that 9 will be in East Cambridgeshire. This proposed scenario allows for provision of single Member Divisions, achieves good electoral equality, provides for convenient and effective local government and offers the best solution, by some margin, in terms of reflecting community interests and identity. 2.1. We strongly believe that the Boundary Commission’s proposal for two 2 Member Divisions (within the 61 Member scenario) has made serious compromises to both community interests and identity and to convenient and effective local government, markedly so for the proposed Littleport West Division (Division 16). The geographical size and marked difference in service needs of different parts of this Division could cause conflict in Members’ ability to represent the whole of the Division effectively. 2.2. Sutton, and particularly the villages to the south of Sutton (Wentworth, Witchford, Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton, Stretham and Little Thetford) are totally remote from Littleport - geographically (residents of those areas look to Ely and Cambridge and do not use or travel to Littleport), culturally (residents of those areas do not link themselves in any way to Littleport), demographically and in terms of service need (educational, economic and health and wellbeing needs are markedly different).
