Wincham Word Winter 2013/14 Winter 2014 Starlings over Neumann’s Flash photographed by Joanne Redley of the Friends of Anderton and Marbury (FoAM). Chairman’s Words by Councillor Pete O’Halloran, Chairman of Wincham Parish Council Gosh February 2014 already, it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Christmas. By the looks of things we’re going to have a busy year this year with some interesting opportunities, challenges and plans coming through. Firstly I have to say a big thank you to one of our Ward Councillors Don Hammond who has secured us substantial funding for the planned toddler area on the Linnards Lane Playing Fields. This and the large grant from the QEII fund along with a contribution from Thor Chemicals which Naomi our Parish Clerk obtained means that work can commence. Running in parallel to this we are also looking at obtaining funding for a permanent War Memorial for the village to coincide with the commemorative events of the Great War. Speeding through the village is an issue raised by a lot of people, and some of you may have noticed villagers out and about with interactive speed equipment. The purpose for this was to collect evidence to obtain a permanent interactive sign. We would be required to part fund this but I feel this could be worthwhile as our observations show that when people see the sign they slow down. Also starting this year will be “Village Strolls”, where Wincham Parish Councillors walk through sections of Wincham with CWaC representatives. This will give us an opportunity to highlight issues directly with the relevant CWaC officials. After the recent bus survey (results not very surprising) we’ll be meeting with the relevant officials to see if we can get some improvements. By far the single item we get most mail and comments on is HS2 (an update from Ian Parr is in this issue). We have been in touch with our MP George Osborne to find out why we were not invited to a meeting he held of Parishes affected by HS2. I find it hard to believe that his office was un-aware that HS2 came through Wincham. Indeed within half an hour of the route being announced last year I was contacted by Sky News. If you have strong views on the proposal I urge you to write to Mr Osborne; the more noise we make the better the influence we’ll have. We’ve also agreed in conjunction with Lostock Gralam to continue to fund our PCSO for a further 3 years. Having a dedicated PCSO in the village is a great benefit not least the extra work that Phil puts in outside his Police duties. As ever please feel free to raise any issues with us and we’ll try our best to help. However, there’s not a lot we can do about the amount of rain we’re getting but we are working on it........... Peter O’Halloran The Prize Winners of the Wincham Christmas Lights Competition 2013 The prizes were donated by Cllrs Dee and Brian Cooke. The competition was judged by Wincham Parish Council and the prizes awarded by Chairman Peter O’Halloran at the January meeting of Wincham Parish Council. 1st prize – Derek Fortune from The Woodlands 2nd Prize – Lee and Nathan Steen Shores Green Drive 3rd Prize – Peter Heath (Wincham man & boy) Pickmere Lane Update on proposed Lostock incinerator by Sue Statham The Environment Agency has now granted a permit to the proposed Lostock incinerator. When planning consent was given to Tata/E-On to build and operate the incinerator, Elizabeth Hill, Government inspector at the Public Inquiry, gave justification for the plant in that it would enable Tata to avoid relying on scarce fossil fuel through the gas powered combined heat and energy plant at Winnington that they currently use. Tata also insisted that the incinerator was needed to keep running costs down and to keep the company competitive within the chemical industry. Tata is now in the process of closing down its soda ash plant at Winnington and remodelling its CHP (combined heat and power) plant to provide the necessary heat and power to both Winnington and Lostock sites. The bottom line is that Tata no longer requires the output from the Lostock incinerator. So now E-On would simply build a waste fuelled power station at Lostock. CHAIN has made representation to DECC, pointing out that the incinerator, currently classified by the E.A. as a stand alone incinerator, does not resemble in any way, shape or form, the incinerator which was granted planning permission by DECC. There is no link to Tata and it cannot be classed as “of National strategic importance.” This incinerator does not comply with its own planning specifications. A reply is expected from DECC very soon. If all this is too complicated, my justification for opposing the incinerator is something I read on a House of Commons website 4 or 5 years ago. “The new generation of incinerators are much safer than the older generation of incinerators, but just how safe we do not know.” Well, that’s not a good enough guarantee for the health and safety of my family, and it shouldn’t be good enough for the health and safety of your family. If anyone would like to help in any way in the campaign to oppose the Lostock incinerator, please email me at [email protected] or telephone me on 01565 733101. Your help would be much appreciated. WINCHAM PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY UPDATE by Brenda Yates New waymarkers for Wincham's footpaths Thanks to a grant obtained by Wincham Parish Council, and with help from Cheshire West and Chester Council, each of Wincham's public footpaths now has an oak waymarker at the roadside to indicate the direction and the distance involved. Public footpath from Hall Lane to Trent and Mersey Canal bank cleared A stretch of overgrown Public Right of Way on Wincham Footpath 9 has been cleared and a new gate put up. The footpath starts on Hall Lane alongside the houses roughly opposite the junction with Green Lane. Follow the field track past the back of Wincham Hall; the track curves to the right, then passes through a gap in a strip of woodland. Head for the poles in the middle of the field and continue to the gate leading into a copse. A wide track now follows the line of the hedge down to the canal bank. This re-opens for us a walk down to the canal. You cannot cross the canal at this point to access the towpath, so it is a there-and- back walk, but a valuable part of our network of Public Rights of Way nonetheless. (Maybe someday someone will build us a bridge to open up circular walks!) Boots are recommended, as the route can be very muddy in parts. I'm told that at one time the path led to canal-side factories. The Woodside, Sunbeam and Wincham Hall Works, all long gone, can be seen on the 1910 Ordnance Survey map. (Select 'Wincham' from the Township list at http://maps.cheshire.gov.uk/tithemaps , then drag one of the twinned maps until you locate the route. The works are not present on the 1875 OS map, but the aerial photograph from the 1970s clearly shows traces of the buildings.) It would be good to hear more about these works from anyone who would like to pass on their local knowledge! Proposed diversion on section of Marston Footpath 5 This footpath starts at the junction of Earles Lane and Moss Lane and leads to Pickmere lakeside. In April 2012, Chester West and Chester Council recommended, in response to an application, that an order be made to divert a short section which passes through the garden of a bungalow. The diversion would by-pass the garden, passing to the field side of the garden fence. Stock fencing and the re- location of a kissing gate are necessary before the diversion can be confirmed; until that time, the existing Right of Way remains unchanged. Boardwalk by Pickmere Lake Cheshire West and Chester Council have made welcome improvements to Wincham's lakeside boardwalk. Thor / Northwich Victoria footpath diversion Wincham Footpath 3 starts at Wincham Lane, crosses the Trent and Mersey Canal and leads to Lostock. Developments at Thor include a footpath diversion around the old Northwich Victoria ground. David Hewitt of Thor gave a lot of time and thought to concerns about this diversion and has constructed a wide path, with landscaping along the canal embankment. Interested in Wincham's Public Rights of Way network? There's still a lot to do to improve the many rights of way within our parish. If you're interested in footpaths, or have any problems, please ring me 01565 733197 or via: [email protected] What have the Romans ever done for us? As some of you may know your Parish is funded by the Parish Precept which forms part of you Council Tax. Prior to last year we managed to lower the amount however, this year you’ll notice when the Council Tax envelopes drop on to your hall mats we’ve put our precept up. A Band D house will now pay 63p a week, a yearly charge of £32.38 increased from £31.03 last year which is about average when compared to neighbouring Parishes. We thought long and hard before we did this and I thought it only fair to explain the rationale behind our decision. All the money we raise is spent for the benefit of the village, but we are now finding in these uncertain economic times more and more services which have in the past been provided by Cheshire West and Chester (CWaC) now require matched, or part funding from us.

The Story of the Belgian Refugees during the Great War. By Alan Lowe. Aliens in Mid Cheshire. The story of the Belgian refugees. A fact that is not widely known is that a few hundred Belgian refugees found their way to Mid Cheshire in the first months of WWI. They were welcomed with open arms at first with the people of the area organising places for them to stay, finding or making clothes for them and putting on shows and entertainment to help pay for their welfare. But as might be expected that welcome wore thin as the months and years went by, and after an initial rush to organise fund raisers and entertainment for the visitors they slowly disappeared from the pages of the local press only to reappear when they were involved in some minor fracas or a baptism or in two sad cases, funerals. As many as 250,000 made it to Britain. They came to escape the German hordes who had invaded their country. Many more that had entered Holland for the same reason were denied access to Britain because the Dutch government felt that allowing them to go might affect their neutral status. In Mid Cheshire they were housed at the Grange in Hartford, (Not the present school but a building further back.) at Wharton Lodge in Winsford (kindly donated by Miss Aspinall-Dudly.) and at Bachelor's Hall in the Avenue at Winnington, the latter thanks to the generosity of Sir John Brunner who also donated £1,000 towards their upkeep.

  • Over 50% Above £1800, As Beeston Keeps on Rising!!
    OVER 50% ABOVE £1800, AS BEESTON KEEPS ON RISING!! The Famous Wright Marshall Mid Month Dairy Cattle Sale including sections for the Western Holstein Club’s Focus Milk pedigree cows and heifers attracted an entry of 261 head. Trade certainly didn’t disappoint with a total of 68 active buyers being recorded, travelling to Beeston from Fife in Scotland to St Austell in Cornwall with 16 different counties represented, along with our loyal and regular support from Cheshire and surrounding counties, all made for a remarkable days trading with all forward finding new homes. MILKING COWS AND HEIFERS Trade continues on an upward curve at Beeston where almost 150 milkers were presented for sale this month by our vendors, both old and new, who travel from all parts of the country to benefit from the good facilities we provide at our centrally located premises in Cheshire. As previously stated the amount of buyers we are able to call upon, for all commodities, is testament to the great choice they get at Beeston, which does not seem to be available anywhere else. The quality on offer this month was tremendous and demand was there from start to finish, with a marked increase once again on the month in the best and middle range heifers and cow trade was off the clock. Heifers were an absolute flyer with over half of the entry selling in excess of £1800 and rising to £2280, with 20 others selling for £2000 or more. The lead price was £2280 for Balcurvie Silver Swallow from Gavin Struthers of Fife for this Altasilver daughter that had calved a month and was sold giving 35 kg to D E Davies, Upper Sarnau, Powys.
