LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Plenty going on in the Salings! The arrival of autumn won’t see any letup in our social activities this year - on page 6 of the magazine you can read about the Salings So- cial event on 14th September. As 73 of you said in the Residents’ Survey last year that you missed the pub, we are expecting a good turnout! If that doesn’t appeal, the Camerata Singers, advertised on page 11, are leading Evensong later in the month at St James. The results of Braintree District Council’s governance review have also been announced, notably: 1. To extend the Parish boundary of Great Saling to include the unparished area of Bardfield Saling 2. Increase the number of Parish Councillors from 5 to 6 3. Rename ‘The Salings Parish Council’ So we are pleased to see that BDC have caught up with this maga- zine! Meanwhile, the Millibar and Clubroom at An- drewsfield have now been registered as As- sets of Community Value by both Uttlesford and Braintree District Coun- cils, and so join the White Hart Tearooms in Great Saling which have the same designation. So we trust you will enjoy reading this magazine and take part in the various events which it advertises.

Angela Harbottle 01371 876707 [email protected] 4 Dear friends, The other day I was accosted in a car park by someone who wanted to talk to me about the hot weather we’ve had recently. “We won’t live to see it”, he told me, “But in 50 years England will be like Africa.” He went on to claim that we don’t have 4 seasons any more, just two, the rainy season and the dry season. It was, in one sense of the word, an extreme weather conversation. And it is good to talk about these things. Trump may deny it, but cli- mate change is real, and anything we can do to stop global warming, we should try to do. God made humanity stewards of creation; we are supposed to look after it. But back to talking about the weather. It is a sort of national sport for the British – if it could get you fit we’d win every gold medal at the Olympics. But actually, it has been claimed (and I’m increasingly con- vinced) that when we talk about the weather we are actually taking about how we feel, in a roundabout and impersonal way. I know it is hard to imagine at the moment, but if someone says in a gloomy voice “Looks like rain again tomorrow ...” they may well be speaking the truth (because they have a weather app on their phone,) but what they want their friend to hear is “I’m feeling low but can’t talk about it”. If the friend is feeling more chipper they might reply “Yeah, but it’ll be warmer later in the week”, which is a kind of code for “cheer up things could be worse”. From ITV’s Love Island to sport to politics there has been a lot of con- versation in the media about mental health this summer. Being able to talk openly about how we are feeling is an important ingredient in good mental health, but if the example I’ve given is anything to go by, as a nation we aren’t very good at it. So, next time someone comments on the weather, try to see if you can get under the surface of the conversation and see what they real- ly want to say. In this way we are more likely to build community and improve our mental health.

Question time is always first on the Agenda, therefore you are not obliged to stay for the rest of the meeting if you do not wish to. Community Governance Review: Braintree District Council has now finished this review in relation to Bardfield Saling and Great Saling and has resolved to extend the parish boundary to include the unparished area of Bardfield Saling. This will increase the num- ber of Parish Councillors to 6 and rename the Parish Council from Great Sal- ing Parish Council to The Salings Parish Council, this will take effect on the 2nd May 2019. Braintree District Council has granted Community Asset status on Andrews Airfield (in line with Uttlesford District Council’s decision to do the same; the Parish Council are pleased with this result. Crows Green: The road will be closed from 21/08/18 for 36 days for Giga Clear Work. Mobile Library Consultation Essex County Council had sent a reply to the consultation “Thank you for your interest in setting up a community library. We have supported five new community libraries to set up and two existing volunteer-run libraries are joining the network. You can find links to them at http:// libraries.essex.gov.uk/community-libraries/. Following the Your Library, your community and your events and research we did in March, we are now reviewing the results and developing our plans for libraries in the future. Until we have done that, we have decided to pause support for more community libraries. Thank you again for your interest in libraries in your community.” 9 Footpaths The Clerk reported that she had received some complaints about the state of the footpaths and overgrown hedges. The Clerk has spoken to Robert Buck- nell who will get them cut as soon as possible. Memorial Planter The Parish Council would like to Thank Mike and Mo for taking over the planting and maintenance of the Andrewsfield Memorial Planter in the vil- lage. Speeding in the Village Speeding appears to be an ongoing and increasing problem in and around the village. The PC has received many complaints over the years and has tried a number of times to resolve this with Essex Highways.

  • Great Bardfield

    Great Bardfield

    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to GREAT BARDFIELD Location: 7 miles northeast of Great Dunmow. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL6730. Postcode: CM7 4SD. Access: B1057. Buses 9/10 to Braintree (Mon-Fri), 16 to Chelmsford (Mon-Sat), 17 to Saffron Walden (Tuesday and Friday only). County: Essex. District: Braintree. Population: 1,227 in 2011. The parish of Great Bardfield lies on the southern aspect of the River Pant, just a few miles upstream from Braintree where it becomes the River Blackwater. Great Bardfield is a place of considerable historic, architectural and cultural interest. Many have considered it the quintessential English village, not least the group known as the Bardfield Artists, many of whom chose to settle here in the period 1930s to1950s. Perhaps the best known of these artists, Edward Bawden, dedicated a series of 16 lithographs, ‘Life in an English Village’, to the shops and workplaces of local tradesmen and women, and in doing so has preserved a record of a now vanished way of village life. The war artist Eric Ravilious (whose wood engraving of Great Bardfield Church appears at the top of this page) spent some years here, as did the ‘Colonel Blimp’ cartoonist David Low who lived in Serjeant Bendlowe’s Cottage (seen here) and Marianne Straub, some of whose textiles are retained in the Warner Textile Archive in Braintree. There were numerous others, and a series of ‘open house’ exhibitions during the 1950s served to put Great Bardfield on the national cultural map. Much of the work of the Bardfield Artists can be viewed today at the Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden.
  • Save Our Stebbing

    Save Our Stebbing

    Stebbing Scene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 143 Autumn 2017 As a friend of mine once said, “It’s getting a bit back-endish” - meaning that autumn is once more making an entrance. Sadly, the villagers of Stebbing are fending off a gathering darkness of another kind, as our elected representatives in Uttlesford demonstrate they have no intention of representing our interests, or our wishes. It is unfortunate that it is two years until the next district elections. Those councillors, who have too little respect for democracy to think they need to reflect the wishes of their electorate, will not be forgotten though - we can make sure of that. Thanks to Tim Gates for the above photo of Church End showing how much we have to lose. Richard Foot, Editor 1 SAVE OUR STEBBING Public Meeting 27 July 2017 by Jackie Kingdom The Old Friends Meeting House was full for the public meeting held by the Parish Council’s Planning Committee on Thursday 27 July. Many people were concerned at the prospect of Uttlesford District Council’s (UDC) recommendation to build a ‘Garden Community’ of, in total, 3,500 houses on Andrewsfield and Boxted Wood and abutting Braintree District Council’s (BDC) proposal to create the same on its boundary to Stebbing with 10,000+ houses. This would result in a new town of over 14,000 houses (Stebbing currently has just over 500). Jane Goodwin, Chair of Stebbing Parish Council, opened the meeting. Chris Cant gave an account of the process so far and described the threat to Stebbing, as we perceive it.

The electors of High Garrett consider themselves more part of Bocking than the parish council area of Gosfield. The following roads – Kings Road, the remainder of Warne Avenue, part of Bailey Bridge Road and part of Boleyns Avenue (approximately 400 electors) which are currently part of Bocking South known as Bocking (College) polling district should now be included in this ward. 2 Bocking South 2 4587 -2% This ward consists of the existing Bocking South Ward less approximately 400 electors transferred to Bocking North (see above)(4079 electors). In addition 508 electors living on the north side of Rayne Road, Chadwick Drive, Malyon Close & Peel Crescent. This makes a logical boundary along the main thoroughfare of Rayne Road. 3 Braintree Blackwater 3 7561 +8% This ward consists of the communities (4843 electors) on the northern side of Coggeshall Road linking to Marlborough Road and Mountbatten Road. Within this area is the local primary school of Great Bradfords. The rest of the ward is made up of the two new developments clustered around the Marks Farm Tesco and bordered by the Braintree by Pass (A120/A131). These two communities are included in the catchment area for Lyons Hall Primary School. The Marks Farm Polling District (1409 electors) lies to the north of Coggeshall Road whilst the Twelve Acres Polling District (1309 electors) is on the south side.

Residents are certainly spoiled for choice if they wish to participate in village life. I have made a few changes to the layout of the mag—mostly regarding size of text which I know has been an issue for some. If I have got it wrong—no doubt you will let me know! I’ve added a crossword with a Stebbing flavour , and although largely cryptic, I’ve tried to include a few easy ones to get people started. It would be good to get some different setters if anyone wants a go. Read, enjoy and have a very, very good Christmas. Richard Foot Editor 1 British Legion Poppy Appeal 2011 On Sunday 13th November 2011, thousands of people throughout the country at- tended parades, services and wreath laying ceremonies to remember those who have lost their lives serving their country. It used to be just people affected by two World Wars but as our troops continue to serve in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, awareness has grown and the numbers swell. In Stebbing, Remembrance Sunday is also recognised by the Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners annual Stebbing 10 mile road race.

  • 2021 Feb Salings Magazine

    2021 Feb Salings Magazine

    LETTER FROM THE EDITORS We are looking out over the last sprinklings of snow as we edit the magazine this month - waiting, like many residents, for warmer weather and the roll-out of the vaccines. Nonetheless, we did see our first snowdrops in Wethersfield Church last week - a promise of better times to come! Normally, of course, we take the opportunity of the editorial to high- light some of the forthcoming events. This has proved a bit difficult at the moment, as we do not know when it will be safe for the govern- ment to relax the COVID-19 restrictions and the ‘stay at home and protect the NHS’ message. This is a particular problem for events like our Fete and Car Display which have a long lead time. Many classic car clubs publish an annu- al calendar of forthcoming events, and we have to decide whether we want to be in it or not. To get round the problem, we have set up a new website dedicated to major forthcoming events in the Salings - stjamesgreatsal- ing.wordpress.com - and decided to tell car clubs that we are plan- ning for an event this year. The website will allow us to update people on changes to plans or specific government restrictions. And with regard to other adverts in the magazine - please phone and check their current status before making a journey! To all our readers, please stay safe, look out for your neighbours and let others know if you need help. Contributions to the next edition by the15th of Feb to: [email protected] 2 From Revd Janet Parker A small booklet and card had been popped through Mary’s door on Christmas morning.
