Indeed, the very first item on the agenda at this meeting is Election of Chairman and the meeting cannot proceed until this has been done. This year was no exception and Pauline Cook (that’s me!) was elected to serve as Chairman for the coming year. Posts and Posters I am always going on about litter and how untidy the village is and asking you all to do your bit to keep Kislingbury tidy, but one of the worst things we have to endure is paper hanging off posts! The Parish Council respectfully requests that you do not put fly posters up on telegraph posts and light standards in the village and give fair warning that if you do, they will be removed. We would appreciate your co-opera- tion. Parish Notice Boards There are five Parish Notice Boards in the village and they all have an unlocked section for the use of parishioners. The space is limited so if you do put a notice on the boards, would you please take it down again when it is no longer needed? Once again, we thank you for your co-operation. Wardens Our Parish Wardens, Dennis Tidmarsh (Flood and Snow), Phil Beeston ( Parish Footpaths) and Alex Balbi (Trees), have a great deal of experience and expertise in their own particular field (sorry Phil!) and they know the right people to contact when it is necessary. If you have any complaints, concerns or problems about flooding, footpaths or trees, then the wardens should be your first point of call. It is less confusing and much more efficient if you all call the warden and he takes the appropriate action on your behalf. That is what he is there for! 3 Dogs (again) It has been brought to our notice that about fourteen lambs have been killed so far during this lambing season, on land between Kislingbury and Upton. The farm- ers have seen dogs chasing the sheep and legally they are allowed to shoot the dogs, but are loath to take such drastic action. So, dog owners, it is your responsibility. Please do not allow your animals to run amok through flocks of sheep. It may well be they are just being playful, but the farmers and the sheep do not see it that way. Please keep your dog on a lead, or it could end up like the dead lambs. Neighbourhood Watch We were very sorry to learn that, due to other commitments, Hilary Nevison-Andrews is re- signing as Kislingbury NHW Co-ordinator. Hilary was instru- mental in resurrecting an ailing NHW scheme some years ago and has kept us very well informed ever since. It would be a shame if all Hilary’s hard work was wasted, so we hope someone out there is prepared to carry on the good work. On behalf of the Parish, we would like to thank Hilary and wish her well in her future pursuits. Email Data Base At the Annual Parish Meeting in April, a parishioner put forward the idea of a village email data base. Some of us were not too sure what this was all about, so we decided to investigate. It appears that one has been set up in Gayton and is operating very successfully, so we have invited two key people from Gayton to come to the our Council Meeting in June, to give us a brief talk on what is involved. If you are interested to hear what they have got to say, do please come along. The next meeting of Kislingbury Parish Council is on Tues- day 15th June 2010, at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. You are very welcome to join us.

We will be marking this anniversary, and 200 years of Christian witness and service, with a Celebration Service on 20th June. We warmly invite you to join with us in this celebration and would particularly welcome anyone with past links with the Baptist Church. There will be a display in the Baptist Church showing the life and times of the church and the wider world during the 200 years. The display will be in place for the Celebration Service and will remain in the church for the Village Weekend on 26th–27th June. We will have available a ‘Memories Book’ so that visitors can write in any memory they have of the Church. There must be many still living in Kislingbury who have had connection with the Baptist Church, perhaps through Sunday School, Boys Brigade or other organisations. Many who have been married here or have long family associations with the Baptist Church – we would like you to record your memories – even if it’s just the date of your wedding. At the Village Weekend the Baptist Church will be open as usual for refreshments and there will be a quiz for children to complete by ‘exploring’ the anniversary display. Sunday 20th June 2010 10.30 am CELEBRATION SERVICE AND EXHIBITION Celebrating 200 years of Christian witness Saturday/Sunday 26th–27th June 2010 VILLAGE WEEKEND · Baptist Church open for Refreshments · 200 year Anniversary Display · Children’s Quiz and Activities Help I am researching Kislingbury Baptist Church history and would be interested in any information, particularly photographs that could be copied for the display. Photographs of ministers, outings, wed- dings, choirs and other organisations etc would be useful. Please let me know if you can help.

  • Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME WIND FARM PLANNING ANNOUNCEMENT Conservative Members of Parliament in Northamptonshire and the Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Corby & East Northamptonshire, Thomas Pursglove, have today welcomed the changes to planning law which will ensure local residents affected by wind farm proposals will actually have a proper say in whether wind turbines are sited in or near their communities. New planning guidance supporting the planning framework from DCLG will make clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protections and the planning concerns of local communities. It will also give greater weight to landscape and visual impact concerns. In welcoming the announcement Chris Heaton-Harris MP (Daventry), said: “If you have been involved in any local campaign to fight an inappropriately sited onshore wind farm, you will know that on every occasion local opinion is trumped at the planning appeal by national energy policy/targets. The changes announced mean that this is reversed and more weight has to be given to local opinion. From what I can gather, subsidies will also be reviewed on an annual basis. This is superb news for those fighting unwanted wind turbines across Daventry and across the whole of England. I truly believe that this announcement brings about the beginning of the end of new onshore wind turbines across England. It is extraordinarily excellent news!” Peter Bone MP (Wellingborough), said: “Conservative ministers are to be congratulated for pushing through a reform to planning regulations which will mean that when local councils turn down wind farm proposals, they will not be overturned on appeal.

Friend the Chairman House of Commons of the Select Committee is right to say that the outstanding progress the NHS has made on waiting times in the past decade should never be lost. We should lock in that Tuesday 24 November 2009 progress and the NHS should not slip back below those standards. The patients charter published on 3 March The House met at half-past Two o’clock 1995 gave an 18-month guaranteed waiting time for in-patient treatment. That is the measure of how far the national health service has come in recent times. I PRAYERS expect patients to endorse the proposal on that new right, but the NHS constitution will need to be updated in line with public expectations about the national [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] health service. Norman Lamb (North Norfolk) (LD): The draft NHS constitution includes a right to drugs approved by the Oral Answers to Questions National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, yet we are witnessing a growing crisis with patients unable to get hold of vital drugs for breast cancer, epilepsy and many other conditions.

What is the evidence for the longer school day? [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Michael Gove: The evidence is there in the gap between, for example, the performance of independent fee-paying schools and state schools. If one looks at those children who get the best results at the end of primary school Oral Answers to Questions and what happens to those who go on to independent schools and those who stay in the state sector, one sees that at the moment those who go on to independent schools are more likely to get good GCSEs and A-levels. EDUCATION A longer school day is one of the ingredients that we believe will make a difference.
