CLLR J CLAYTON (Chair) 5 Brook End, Steeple Morden 01763 852203 Employer Supported Policing (ESP) asks employers to promote the role of the Special constable in their organisation, while granting those who CLLR S WHEATLEY (Vice Chair) do sign up additional leave days to help them meet duty commitments. 95 Hay Street, Steeple Morden In return, the organisation will benefit from staff who have received a 01763 853826 unique training package, worth several thousand pounds and covering CLLR G BELSON (Vice Chair) a wide range of skills, many of which are transferable to the workplace. Ringdale, 2 North Brook Road, Specials are unpaid volunteers with full police powers who agree to Steeple Morden 01763 852475 dedicate a minimum of 16 hours a month to training or operational duties.

The annual week CLLR C UPCHURCH was established in 1984 and recognises the contribution volunteers Greenway Farm, Litlington Road, SM make to communities every day. 01763 852193 Head of the Special Constabulary Vic Kerlin said ESP benefitted for both employer and Special, who enjoyed and gained great benefits from their CLLR K AUSTIN policing work. Bogs Gap Lane, Steeple Morden He said: “ESP is a powerful staff development opportunity that more 01763 852023 than 250 organisations throughout the UK have already recognised, CLLR S TRAVERSE-HEALY including well-known private, public and third sector employers in the 46 Station Rd, Steeple Morden eastern region. 01763 853843 DISTRICT CLLR MRS H. WILLIAMS “Many police forces across the region currently have high levels of 07885 774775 recruitment of regular officers but this makes Specials recruitment more difficult as many people who might consider the Specials are drawn COUNTY CLLR MR S. KINDERSLEY directly into regular roles. 01767 651982 “ESP is especially important at this time as many of the people who join the Specials under ESP already have careers outside policing and see the Specials as a place that they can gain skills, support their community and do something really important alongside their day job.” Steeple Morden Parish Council One organisation signed up to ESP in Cambridgeshire is the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Hinxton, Cambridge, which is at the cutting- edge of genome and bioinformatics research.

Brief notes on agenda items from the Parish Council Meeting on Monday June 10th are included below: County Councillor Mr S Kindersley – reported that the A428 upgrade and rerouting plans have been released for consultation. There is still no sign that Herts CC will fund any improvements to the junctions on the A505. South Camb. C. are to clamp down on any empty properties which have been empty for 5 years, by claiming full council tax. The East/West rail project has been declared by a QC as a flawed consultation procedure. A505 – It was decided following Cllr Kindersley’s comments to send a letter to Herts CC & the MP Oliver Heald listing the villages’ concerns over the lack of action by Herts CC. Station Car Park Update – a meeting was held with the residents of Odsey and Mr J Fordham. Mr Fordham has offered some land adjacent to Cheyney Lodge to be used as a car park. Mr Fordham was thought to be in talks with car park planners. A letter is to be sent to Mr Fordham and Omnia to ascertain the state of play. Traffic – Another MVAS has been ordered. The one recently on Ashwell Road has now been moved to Litlington Road. Many people have commented on the ‘smiley face’ and how they appreciate knowing what speed they are actually doing. An offer of cones to the Primary School has been taken up by the caretaker – these will have No Waiting signs attached. A request for police support concerning parking around the school has been made. Recreation Ground and Conservation Area- The abandoned car has had a 21 day notice served otherwise it will be removed by the Council. Grass matting has been put in front of the ‘practice goal’ near the play area. The RosSPA Report on the play area pointed out various amendments and repairs – many of which were already in the process of being completed. They did point out that the confers needed to be cut back on the far side as they were interfering with the zip-wire and the swings. Two new dog signs have been requested. The dog handlers are to be asked NOT to use the Conservation Area for their training as the flora and grasses have been damaged. Footpaths- the footpath on Craft Way has been referred to the South Cambs C for further trimming. Any other business – due to the resignation of a Committee Member the Parish Council will be issuing a notice to co-op another committee member. o Dog Bin – a dog bin was requested for Bogs Gap Lane. o Security Cameras – the Village Hall cameras are in need of servicing. o Smarties – a letter is to be sent to Smarties concerning the clothing bin sited in the car park of the recreation ground. o Next Blue Grass Concert – will be held on July 19th and 20th. 2020. 3 Planning/Tree work Applications 12.1.1 Planning Ref S/1167/19/LB Flecks Lane Farm, Shingay Road –Render replacement/repair of property.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).
