On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Bedfordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under section 48{1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the principal local authorities, and parishes, in Bedfordshire and in the surrounding counties of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water authorities, and electricity and gas boards which might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in co-operation as necessary with the other local authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

    Hail Weston Parish Council Your Newsletter Spring 2021 hailweston.org.uk [email protected] Hail Weston Parish Council Newsletter Spring 2021 What’s been happening Dear resident, What a year this has been! However, despite the pandemic, the Parish Council has still managed to meet every month, via Zoom meetings and this has meant that we have still been able to discuss and resolve the various issues arising during the year and move forward on so many of its actions despite the challenges of the year. The PC look forward to meeting face-to-face again; hopefully from May. Two new councillors, Rebecca Rowley-Smith and Paul Tynan joined us in June 2020, after Jane Sugars and Matthew Lobo resigned from the Council. Thank you to Jane and Matthew for your contributions throughout your seven years serving Hail Weston. We have continued with our two main areas of work: • Representing you on issues affecting the community such as planning applications – we saw 11 applications in the last year (Mar 20-Mar 21) which included eight extensions or alterations to existing properties, one new bungalow and two ‘Planning in Principle’ applications. • Maintaining our open spaces remains a key objective and will continue to be one of our priorities going forward. Vice Chair Nick Farnden is the lead on the new Community Led Plan, along with an army of volunteers. The plan is to roll out the questionnaire late spring/early summer with the hope that more than 90% of the uptake is online, however, paper copies will also be available.

  • HWPC Summer 2018 Newsletter 3.2
    What’s been happening? Roads As reported in our summer 2017 newsletter, the Parish Council put in a proposal to reduce the speed on the B645 through Hail Weston village and a reduction to 50 (from 60) mph was agreed. We have been waiting for much longer than expected for Cambridgeshire County Council to implement the agreed reduction but you will doubtless have noticed that some new speed limit signs have recently gone up. Hail Weston has also acquired, in recent months, signs at the entrances to the village and to Ford End reminding drivers that the village roads are unsuitable for Heavy Goods Vehicles. The Parish Council requested the new signage due to some incidents where large vehicles became temporarily stuck due to difficulty negotiating narrow parts of the High Street and because the route through Ford End to Little Paxton is sometimes used as a ‘rat run’ by lorries just to avoid traffic on bigger roads, not helped by satellite navigation systems re directing onto this road. The signs are not, of course, intended to prevent deliveries in heavy vehicles in the village (such as delivery of building supplies). If residents become aware of any issue with deliveries into the village as a result of the signs, please let us know so we can be sure it’s passed on as appropriate. Playing field Our playing field remains an important and valued asset for Hail Weston and continues to attract visitors from further afield. Following a call for volunteers to help with essential maintenance during September, 8 volunteers came along on one or more occasions to weed, sand, scrub and paint.
