Firstly may I say how delighted I am to have been reflected as County Councillor for the Hertford & Cayton Division of North County Council. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those of you who supported me once again.

As always I will endeavour to do my best to represent the people of Flixton &Folkton at County Council. It is of course not going to be easy to get things done, due to the tre- mendous financial cut backs that we face. The Council as you probably know is faced with the challenge of saving £93m by 2015. However due to savings we have already made we are on tar- get to achieve this.

Thanks to Government grants and prudent budgeting, we have been able to avoid any increase in Council tax for the last three years and we will do all in our power to continue to keep any council tax increases to a minimum. This will mean unfortunately that there is no money for highway im- provements such as new roads, new parking restrictions, new speed restrictions etc. As these all cost money. As far as roads and footpaths are concerned our main aim will be to keep them in as good order as possible.

You will have noticed no doubt that we have been patching, particularly in Folkton and we plan to resurface the road across the Carr's and through Folkton. We will also been carrying out repairs to the road Hunmanby on Folkton Brow. I will also try my best to ensure repairs are carried out as and when necessary.

We have been experiencing problems with heavy traffic passing through Folkton on it's way to the Barrett housing development at Cayton. The introduction of a lorry watch scheme in conjunction with Trading Standards at I consider helped to alleviate the problem and this was thanks very much to some Folkton residents reporting the offenders. I admit that it was not perfect, but I am grateful to those of you who have taken part in the scheme.

Of course apart from Highways, are other responsibilities are Public Transport, Education for both children & adults, Social Services, Waste Disposal, Libraries, Street Lighting, Public Health, some planning which includes Village Greens and Public Rights of Way and as I have already mentioned Trading Standards.

I have decided that since my reelection I am going to spend less time serving on committees. I see the main work of a councillor is servicing the problems which occur with the residents in my divi- sion, which cover a large area. I have 7 parishes to look after, those being Cayton, Folkton & Flix- ton, Gristhorpe & Lebberstone, Hunmanby, Muston, Reighton & Speeton and Primrose Valley Hunmanby Gap and Royal Oak. I try to attend all my Parish Council meetings, as I consider that to be my main form of communication with my residents, but of course I am ready to talk to or visit any individuals to discuss any problems they may have.

The long outstanding problem of the public right of way over the Fordon Road at Folkton is at last due to come to Public Enquiry in November and in my opinion the more residents who attend this the better. I am very concerned that this application has taken over 3years to solve.

Well I had hoped to cut my lawns today, but it's raining again, I do hope we are going to see an improvement in the weather this summer, it is so important to the many people who are reliant on the tourist industry in my division. I am so pleased the County Council is not responsible for the weather.

Best wishes to you all, you can contact me either by phone 583604, or by email [email protected]

Now that the Parish News is on the website I feel that it is necessary to update the look of the newsletter and to try and avoid duplicating items that are already on the website , so in future I will not include the Parish Council Minutes. However if you are not able to access the website and would like to receive a copy of the minutes please let a Councillor know or write to the Parish Clerk. If you still wish to receive a hard copy of the Newsletter please let me know and I will make sure that you receive one. Linda Thompson. Many thanks to the Year 6 children of Hertford Vale School for their writing for an information leaflet about New .

The map in a larger form can been seen in the Village Hall or in the standard form in the Foxhound Inn. Many thanks to all who have contributed articles for this newsletter I couldn’t produce it without you. Deadline for next issue is OCTOBER 2013 Flixton and Folkton Bloom Group.

I reported in the last News that the Bloom Group would be entering Yorkshire in bloom again this year unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to withdraw. Now the weather has improved those members who have been able to have been out tidying up the beds and painting and planting up the tubs. We have bought 4 new tubs with some money we got from the Filey Li- ons and they have been placed either side of the two new seats that the Parish Council bought to commemorate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. The Parish Council have also widened the entry into the Village Hall and has made it safer when driving in and out. Mr. Bryan Found donated money to the Bloom Group for the new bed at the entrance to the Village Hall.

The Poetry Evening ,which was our last fund raising evening ,proved once again to be very suc- cessful and is becoming more or less an annual event. Many thanks to all those who attended and supported us. Hope to see you at the next event.

Since breaking my leg it has made me realize how vulnerable our Bloom Group is becoming most of the work this year has been done by just four of our members . We could really do with some help if we are to maintain what we have already done let alone take on new projects. It doesn’t need to be a big commitment just a helping hand when we are renewing the plants or volunteering to look after the tubs if they are close to where you live. There is much truth in the saying ‘Many hands make light work.’

It will be our A.G.M in September so come along to the Foxhound and have a chat with us. We all have lives outside Bloom Group and often enjoy other social events together.
