We promised to meet with our County Councillor Stephen Boulton after the meeting to see if there was anything that could be done to reverse this change. We met with Councillor Cuffley Branch Boulton and Metroline (the company that run the service), to discuss the changes and their impact Sopers Road, Cuffley, Herts EN6 4SE on local people. Metroline explained that since deregulation of bus services many years ago, Tel: 01707 873536 E-mail: [email protected] www.travisperkins.co.uk companies were expected to run the service so that the costs were covered by passenger fares. Opening Times On this service, to be commercial, Metroline needed two buses to cover the route rather than in Monday to Friday 7.30am – 5.00pm Saturday 8.00am – 12 noon the past four buses. Having looked at usage of the route it was very low on the trip from Cuffley through to Potters Bar except during school starting and finishing times. The problem is compounded by our local usage of the bus being mainly by Concession pass users for which the UPDATE ISSUE 64 CONTENTS company are paid about half the full fare. The County Council have in the past subsidised some bus routes particularly those with hospital routes.

NORTHAW GREAT WOOD – A UNIQUE PLACE History of the Wood TO VISIT! Northaw Great Wood is a remnant of the extensive forest that covered much of the area before the Norman Conquest. During the 11th and 12th centuries, it was owned by Norman Barons. In the 16th century, it was recorded as a Woodland Common and would have resembled the New Forest rather than the woodland we see today. As such it would have been used for grazing and the pollarded Hornbeams would have provided commoners’ fuel and winter feed for their animals.
In 1806 the Common of Northaw was enclosed by Act of Parliament. From then until 1938 it was a private woodland used for timber production. In 1811, the original pollards were cut down and replanted with Oak and Scots Pine. Some of the older Hornbeams can, however, still be seen in the adjacent Cuffley Camp site. Coppicing of the planted Sweet Chestnut and Hornbeam took place in the 19th century. Most of the Pines were felled in the late 19th century and a final crop of Oak was removed in the 1920s. Since then, the remaining timber has re-established itself. In some areas where trees have been cleared, the original heather, which was grazed rather than grass, is returning.
In 1937, Hertfordshire County Council acquired 290 acres of this land and the site is now managed by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council.
Status 0f the Wood
Because of its importance for nature conservation, the Great Wood has for over 50 years been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and in 1999 was awarded the status of a Local Nature Reserve. The Wood also has the status of a Country Park, wherein lies the tension between the wood as a public amenity for which wide access and use is to be encouraged and its status as a Nature Reserve and SSSI where access may need to be restricted to protect the environment and its wildlife.

Playground News F O S T Hopefully, by the time you receive this edition of Update our smart, new playground in KGV will t already be in use. The final part of the jigsaw is to do some landscaping and planting in and Friends of S Thomas’s around the playground to make it even more of a pleasant place to visit. A weekend in September would be the ideal time for planting and we would like to combine it with an official opening on Saturday 22nd September. It would be great to involve the community in this so if you and your children or grandchildren would like to come a long and help plant please let us know your availability on any weekend in September and leave your details so we can contact you.
The next phase of the playground development is to provide some equipment for older children and young people on the playing fields. Some of you have already made suggestions such as a climbing tower, skatepark or cycle practice area and even an all-weather track around the field. All suggestions are very welcome.
Everyone is attracted by the image of the church of St Thomas a Becket overlooking the green at Northaw. And inside there are the exceptional murals and stained glass windows to admire.

1ST CUFFLEY GUIDE COMPANY
The above Company was formed by Miss Nancy Marriner, the Captain for many years, who lived at Kingswell, one of the large pre-First World War houses, to be built on the Cuffley Road (later The Ridgeway). These houses were occupied by the upper class of influential people in Cuffley. The first meeting was on the 25th March 1932 and meetings were originally held in the old corrugated iron school room, where is now situated St. Andrews Church. Subsequently the company moved to the ‘Cabin’, originally a barn of Brickwell Farm, near the railway station. Now the present company meets at the headquarters of the 1st Cuffley Scout Group, Church Close. Joan McRitchie (nee Upton) who passed away on the 8th December 2016, aged 92, was a Brownie in 1931 and joined the 1st Cuffley Guide Company on the 3rd June 1932, as is shown below.

1st Cuffley Guides have been going for nearly 86 years and boy have we seen a few changes, from uniforms to prime ministers, through the wars and conflicts and we still come out the other side fighting - this is what makes Girl Guides great.
In the past we have had sewing badges and hostess. These days we have chocolate tasting and Ocean awareness badges. We used to camp in farmers’, fields now we go to full Activity centres or venture internationally to one of our many oversea houses.
Times have changed but at the end of the day we are still here for one main reason and that’s the girls, it’s a lot harder PLOUGH HILL 1932 SAME VIEW 17 JANUARY 2018 to keep the girls in the movement, they have so many more after school activities than years ago.
1st Cuffley Guides now have a Ranger Unit attached to it, the Rangers run evenings for the guides, have their own programme or sit revising whilst eating crisps, down time is a good thing for the older girls, they have so much going on in their lives that the chance to have a space where they can just sit and chat and eat sweets is something that we are able to offer.
This year the Guides have lots of visitors, camps, activity days and badges organised.
We work closely with 1st Cuffley Brownies who feed us, the older girls, again the Guides run taster evenings for the Brownies to let them know what we get up to and to encourage them to come join us.

Is it true? The common Daddy Longlegs Spider
It is been said by many people over the years that the Daddy Long Legs spider has the most venomous bite of any spider, which could instantly kill a human if bitten! It is also stated that humans are safe however as its jaws or mouth parts are too small to bite humans! The Community Orchard is a public green space in the heart of Northaw for all in the parish to enjoy. We aim to provide So – what is the true? opportunities for education, conservation and healthy living.
The term Daddy Long Legs is used to describe three totally different arthropods: Pholcidae or Long Legged We started the year with our Wassail ceremony and had lots of fun Cellar door spiders (these are true spiders), the Crane Fly (which is an insect) and the Harvestmen (which 2018 like ticks, mites and scorpions, are arachnids, but are not spiders).

DID YOU KNOW?
In terms of weight, our oceans will contain more plastic waste than fish by the 2050’s! Over 330 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year – and 8 million tonnes of that production will enter the oceans of the world. The two main types are, firstly larger items like plastic bottles, straws and cups, and secondly, what are termed micro plastics, which, as the name suggests, can be really microscopic. In terms of the larger items, just in the UK we throw away nearly 40 million plastic bottles (only about half are recycled currently); almost 7 million disposable coffee cups; and 22 million plastic straws – every day! Our new PCSO for Northaw and Cuffley, is Deborah Rogers. If you see her when Microplastics are formed when the larger plastics are broken down, or when industry creates microbeads which are used in such common items as make-up, cleaning liquids, or toothpaste. Over the last half she is out on patrol around the Villages, century the use of these microplastics has increased 20 fold, and is now expected to double in the next 20 just introduce yourself, and I’m sure Deborah years. will be only too pleased to meet you. The larger plastics can be eaten by turtles, seabirds, and other animals, leading to death by choking or You can contact Deborah by telephone on starvation. The ingestion of the microplastics can affect reproduction, growth rates, and other biological the 101 Number by using full name, functions. There are also concerns regarding toxins which attach to microplastic particles and then enter the food chain when ingested.

A recently reported examination of mussels bought from a variety of shops and Council Offices when she is on duty. supermarkets in the UK, found microplastic and other debris in every sample purchased. Tests on a variety of brands of bottled water found microplastics in every sample. Jason Grocock, Editor. So, what can we do to? Clearly we need to produce far less plastic, especially the plastics which cannot be recycled. We need to reuse and recycle much more of the plastic we do produce, and we need to use CUFFLEY alternative materials to plastic, which will bio-degrade if discarded in our Countryside or finding their way to the rivers and oceans. The charge on plastic bags has vastly reduced their use – by 85% in England it is claimed. Proposals for deposit schemes on plastic bottles and the banning of plastic straws could be very ART SOCIETY helpful, and why not a plastics tax? In the UK, Waitrose announced earlier this year that they will remove all disposable coffee cups from their stores by the autumn, and in 2015 in the USA, President Obama signed CUFFLEY FRIENDS OF the Microbead-free Waters Act, banning microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products. CANCER RESEARCH UK On Tuesday 5th June 2018, World Environment Day, Hertfordshire County Council took a stand against plastic with the theme “beat plastic pollution”.

Northaw & Cuffley Footpaths For A Fitter Future Lookout For Your Complimentary Footpaths Map - Arriving Through Your Letterbox Extra copies are available from the Residents Association stand at the annual Village Day 2018 and from the Parish Council office. Parish Council Office 7 Maynard Place, Cuffley. 01707 875825 [email protected]
“The reeling road, the rolling road, that rambles round the shire” - GK Chesterton Chesterton’s poem attributed the origin of the reeling, rolling, rambling English road to drunken, reeling pre-Roman Brits and when you look at our Public footpaths in Northaw and Cuffley, some of them could conceivably have been the work of our inebriated ancestors. They certainly reel, roll and ramble. During the 2017 Village Day some of you stopped by the Residents Association Stall and showed an interest in where our footpaths went, if they linked up and where you could get to by walking them. So - we thought why not drop an Ordnance Survey Map extract of local footpaths into every parishioner’s letterbox that you could, if you chose to, access these and our wonderful countryside. At the same time we wanted to introduce you all to the Parish’s woods and green spaces and the waymarked tracks in them: Homewood, at the end of Tolmers Road, Cuffley; Northaw Great Wood, off The Ridgeway; and the Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust’s Fir and Pond Woods, off Coopers Lane Road, Northaw. We hope that providing Whatever event you have in mind ... you with this map will encourage you to put your best foot forward and use these public footpaths and waymarked tracks to enjoy your countryside. Our Contribution To The Hertfordshire 2018 Year Of Physical Activity We offer you the opportunity to participate in a couple of short parish footpath led walks this summer. One will be in Northaw, starting at The Two Brewers and going south, using the Hook Lane footpath to will provide the ideal setting ! introduce you to some of the footpaths and waymarked tracks in Fir and Pond Woods; and another in Cuffley, starting at the King George V Playing Fields, then walking down to the Hertfordshire Way Wedding Receptions Ͳ Parties Ͳ Exhibitions footpath proceeding north-west by the Pumping Station, then up the Dell to the Ridgeway and passing The Stage Shows Ͳ Concerts Ͳ Dancing Plough Pub on the way back. We look forward to seeing you all on the walks in July and / or August! Dates for the two walks: and so much more ! Northaw: Wednesday 25th July 2018 starting at 7pm from The Two Brewers Cuffley: Wednesday 15th August 2018 starting at 7pm from KGV playing field Our staff will be pleased to discuss your requirements A Few Tips: and help you to plan a successful event. • Wear walking shoes or boots with a decent sole as the footpaths, though generally good, may have some rougher, eroded areas Maynard Place, Cuffley EN6 4JA • If you mind stingers and the odd bramble wear long trousers, which should offer protection 01707 875389 • Evening walks invariably attract midges, so if you are susceptible to bites please use an insect repellent or wear long sleeves and long trousers [email protected] • Bring some water to ensure you do not dehydrate, particularly if the weather is very warm cuffleyhall.co.uk • Although none of the footpaths we shall encounter are particularly difficult to walk, walking poles or sticks can be useful, particularly if the weather has been poor and the footpaths are muddy facebook.com/cuffleyhall If you would like to participate in either or both walks, it would be helpful to the organisers if you could let the Parish Office know of your interest, either by phone or email.
