PAMPISFORD PARISH COUNCIL DRAFT MINUTES: 13Th November 2014 PAMPISFORD PARISH COUNCIL DRAFT MINUTES: 13th November 2014 Chairman: Aureole Wragg Clerk: Anna Lovewell, Tel: 01223 835050 Present: Aureole Wragg, Graham Berridge, Peter Draper, Justin Marsh, Anne Judd, Nigel Upton, Heather Fordham, Tony Orgee (SouthCambs), Peter Topping, (CCC) Open Forum 7:00pm-7:30pm: Keeley Russell, Head of Client Liaison from Balfour Beatty regarding changes in Pampisford Street Lighting. Attended by 3 residents. Information: Work will start on the 17th November with planting of the new columns. The project will take about 6 weeks to complete. BB have been contracted to provide lighting to British Safety Standards S5 Class. There is a need for evenly spaced columns and positions that do not interfere with overhead power lines as the new lights are much taller. The lights will be dimmed from 10pm-6am. Residents with problems with light entering their property can request BB to install a front or a back baffle to the light, which can be fitted retrospectively. There is potential for the lights to be turned off completely after midnight from April 2015, but the decision has not been yet finalised. Residents with issues after this meeting can contact BB directly on Freephone: 0800 7838 247 or www.lightingcambridgeshire.com Residents’ concerns: Concerns over low light levels on Beech Lane. Light CC10 agreed to be moved further down towards Beech Lane. Lights cannot be installed beyond this point as it is not in the contract. Lights are being reduced from 3-2 on the meeting point between Glebe Crescent and Town lane. Residents are concerned about pedestrians, often pensioners, crossing over the Chequers etc. particularly due to lack of footpath. BB are not able to reposition or install more lights due to British Safety standards and also the position of overhead power lines. New lights should be brighter and taller to give more light coverage. NZ requested the repositioning of CC13 on Brewery Road which was due to fall across her proposed new driveway. KR to go back to the client to seek permission to move the column to provide access. KR to contact NZ and AJL regarding the repositioning of the light to nearer the boundary. Apologies and reasons for absence- None 1. Declarations of interest with regard to items on the agenda- all in relation to street lights. No other. 2. To sign and approve minutes dated 9th October 2014. All approved. AW signed. 3. Matters arising from previous minutes: Planning application for internal changes at Sawston Hall- no objections unanimous agreement. 4. Reports by County and District Councillors. Peter Topping CCC- Highways confirmed in the site meeting that they were not satisfied with the quality of the contractors they used last time. New contractors are expected to be of better quality PT and AJ to meet with the new contractors. Important for this contractor to have a site meeting to talk through the road issues and to determine how feasible it will be to do the remedial work. PT to get Highways to confirm a date for this next meeting. Tony Orgee- South Cambs District Council- Street Lighting. TO has looked at all the street lights in Pampisford and the design proposals regarding the County Council’s street lighting replacement programme in the village. The one street lamp in South Terrace, Pampisford is number SC61 - as a SCDC lamp it is not affected by the County Council’s street lighting replacement programme, and neither are SCDC lamps in London Road. The replacement lights in Glebe Crescent and Hammond Close are 1:1 replacements with the new lamps to be placed within about a metre of the existing lamps. In Brewery Road, there are changes in the spacing of lamps to give a more consistent pattern of lighting. Apart from the proposed site of the lamp outside 75 Brewery Road (which the contractors Balfour Beatty have now agreed to move) there do not appear to be any particular issues about the locations of the replacement lamps. Consistent spacing means that two lamps will be removed in the part of Brewery Road closest to Sawston, and the two lamps situated on either side of the entrance to Hammonds Close on the even number side of Brewery Road. One lamp in Town Lane (CCC1) is moved a few feet in the direction of the A505 and this should give more light on the path that runs on the outside of the bungalows in Glebe Crescent. The two lamps in Town Lane that are shown on the designs as due for removal but not replaced do not have notices on them alerting residents to this possibility. Lighting in High Street / Church Lane gives me the greatest cause for concern, though the effectiveness of a number of the present lights, particularly in Church Lane are compromised by tree and other growth that obscures part if not all of the light. I would add some further points: the new energy- efficient lamps are about one metre higher than the existing lamps; as with existing lights, if particular residents have problems with specific replacement lights, for example, a light shining directly into a bedroom, then a back-plate or front baffle can be fitted to address the problem. Finally if the Parish Council and residents want to retain lights that are scheduled for removal and not be replaced, then the Parish Council can purchase these lights - I understand the cost is £1 - though the Parish Council would also incur energy and maintenance costs (of the order of £50 per year). Local Highways Improvement Scheme Panel meeting: TO was happy to support the bid by Pampisford Parish Council for a scheme to improve safety near the junction of Brewery Road and London Road. Panel members scored each bid but local members were not allowed to score bids in the area they represented. Average scores for each scheme have been calculated and a priority order has been drawn up. Details will be presented to the County Council’s Highways and Infrastructure Committee when it meets on 20 January 2015 when a decision will be made about which bids to support. Solar Farm, Sawston/Babraham planning application: TO attended the October meeting of the District Council’s Planning Committee and spoke in opposition to this solar farm planning application, not only because it is in the Green Belt, but also because the sheer size of the proposal (stretching over half a mile east to west and about a quarter of a mile north to south) meant that it linked up Sawston and Babraham. The application was opposed by both Sawston Parish Council and Babraham Parish Council because it is in the Green Belt. The District Council’s Planning Committee rejected the application by 8 votes to 2. A new planning application was recently submitted for a solar farm in the same general location but on a smaller scale. A representative of the applicant gave a presentation on this new planning application to a recent meeting of Sawston Parish Council. Following discussion, Sawston Parish Council decided to oppose the application because it was in the Green Belt Local Transport Plan: TO’ssubmitted to the County Council’s Economy and Environment Committee held on 11 November 2014 Item 6. LTP 3 [Local Transport Plan 3] seeks to address existing transport challenges as well as setting out policies and strategies to ensure that planned large-scale developments can take place in the county in a sustainable way. TO particularly notes that the county's priorities include 'developing our local economy for the benefit of all' and the reference to 'pressure on the transport network … and the risks of increased congestion. TO thinks that there is not sufficient emphasis on improving the environment in villages subject to substantial traffic through the centre of the village and there is nothing in the Plan about dealing with traffic travelling through the county on non-trunk roads. Another road that takes traffic travelling through the county as well as more local traffic is the A505 between Royston, the M11 at Duxford and the A11 at Pampisford / Great Abington. There are already serious delays at the A505 / A1301 (Sawston roundabout) junction - traffic is currently stretching back over one and a half miles from the roundabout to the M11 and beginning to queue on the slip road from the motorway. There are already congestion and safety issues here, and this is before Phase 2 at Granta Park, developments at TWI (The Welding Institute), developments at Babraham Institute, and any further development at the Genome Campus come on stream - yet for all these sites the A505 is a vital route, but at the same time the road serves as a through route to the A11 to Norwich and the A11 / A14 to the East Coast ports. TO believes that there should be much more emphasis on improving the quality of the environment in villages on heavily-trafficked transport routes in the county and also on taking steps to mitigate congestion near sites of considerable employment importance. Increasing congestion near world-famous campuses and institutes will not present a welcoming impression. TO notes that in the Long Term Transport Strategy document that there are references in paragraph 4.13 to A505 capacity issues … . However, the document then goes on to state that [this is one of] 'further schemes that may be needed, including in the longer term' but that these are schemes ‘for which the need has not yet been established’. TO does not agree. ….. traffic jams on the A505 that lead to backing up onto a motorway seem to me to indicate a system that is operating at overcapacity.

  • Witches and Witchcraft in Ely
    Witches and Witchcraft in Ely A HISTORY Francis Young Printed for the author by Cambridge Print Solutions Cambridge, 2013 Published by Francis Young © Francis Young 2013 Francis Young has asserted his moral right under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, to be identified as the author of this work. francisyoung.wordpress.com ISBN 978-0-9926404-0-8 Table of Contents Introduction 1 1. Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

  • Land at Hinxton Response to Matters and Issues Raised by the Inspector
    M4/23548 Land at Hinxton Response to matters and issues raised by the Inspector Representation prepared by Terence O’Rourke on behalf of Hinxton Land Ltd Matter 4 Employment and retail c. Will the proposed amounts of land for economic development uses meet the needs for all foreseeable types of economic development? Summary 1. The employment land allocations will not meet all foreseeable types of economic development over the plan period. 2. The pressure for growth is significant to the South of Cambridge where most of the major high technology research facilities are located. 3. E/9 provides flexibility for delivering additional economic development over the plan period in the most sustainable locations and where businesses want to locate. These developments can be delivered in addition to, and in parallel with, the allocated sites over the plan period. Economic need and Policy E/9 During the consultation on the submission version of the local plan, Hinxton Land Ltd supported the inclusion of Policy E/9 (ID 60757, 60758) and Policy E/10 in principle (60759). These policies will facilitate the delivery of cluster-related economic development in sustainable locations during the plan period, which will help to maintain the Cambridge area as one of the leading concentrations of high technology and research clusters in the UK. Matter 4 c is relevant to these earlier representations prepared by Hinxton Land Ltd. We do not consider that the proposed amount of land allocated for economic development will meet the needs for all foreseeable types of economic development. Hinxton Land Ltd has not sought an allocation in the current plan, because policy E/9 provides policy support to deliver cluster-related development in sustainable locations, such as to the south of Cambridge on land beyond the green belt, in a flexible manner and in response to market demand.

As it now transpires, the Marcus Rashford campaign has again proved effective, as the Government has changed its mind and agreed to fund the scheme. POLICE CUTS Police cuts have been announced by Cambridgeshire’s Police Chief Constable. Changes have to be made in a bid to save £1.7m next year. Chief Constable Nick Dean said the force will receive a proportion of the 20,000 extra police officers promised by the government but Cambridgeshire “also needs to make considerable cost savings to avoid using financial reserves”. Public facing proposed changes include: - Reduction of PCSOs from 80 to 40 but with the guarantee of at least one in “every single neighbourhood”. - Removal of the community safety team, resulting in the reduction of six community safety officer posts across the force - Closure of nine enquiry offices, Including Sawston, with the promise of an appointment-based service in each area to enable the public to speak with an officer.
