He moved to Avebury Trusloe in October having previously lived in Swindon for 30 years. His wife, Sue, also volunteers in the shop and will feature in a future article. Graham wanted to move to a more rural community and ended up in Avebury by chance because a house came up. He is really glad that he made the move. For the last year Graham has been a full- time homemaker/builder/handyman as well as having a number of part time jobs. Before this he had a varied career, including working in retail banking for 15 years. Graham wanted to work in the shop because he was keen to contribute to a local community and he loves interacting with people. As well as serving in the shop, Graham also bakes the bread regularly. His favourite products are freshly baked bread, local plum jam and Ramsbury ales and gin. Product Update If you are planning a picnic we have lots of lovely local produce for you to enjoy. We have Sumbler’s (our local butchers) pies and pasties, local vegetarian, vegan and gluten free pies, local yoghurts, individual cheese cakes, couscous, salads as well as a choice of local cheeses. We also stock West Country crisps and pop corn. We also have lots of soft drinks as well as local beers and ales and plenty of wines to wash it all down with. Don’t forget we have individual tubs of ice cream from Devizes. Local Deliveries Please don’t forget that we can deliver to you if you are unable to come into the shop. Just give us a ring on the number at the top of this article. Michele Lomas (Chair of Avebury Community Shop) Recognition for Richard our Postman’s Service Richard has been delivering mail in Broad Hinton and Uffcott for 20 years now. Although he has no intention of retiring, his customers thought it high time that this long service was properly recognised. He has therefore become the first recipient of a new honour – he’s been created an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of Broad Hinton & Uffcott. He has of course been given a scroll and medal to prove it, plus a gift as token of the high esteem in which he is held. Richard is a good friend to all, unfailingly cheerful. He willingly helps with all kinds of problems, mail-related or not. He even attends the funerals of his customers and tips off the Rector if he knows of anyone in need of comfort. We are very lucky to have him as our postman and hope that he will continue to deliver our mail for very many more years.

Planning Report Cllr LaRoche provided a full planning update to Councillors: 19/01864/OUT. Freshfields, P.O.Lane, Broad Hinton. Outline planning application only for erection of one, 3 bedroom dwelling and one, 4 bedroom dwelling within the curtilage of Freshfields, including demolition of two single storey garages and improvements to vehicular access. Objection. Wilts approved with conditions. The Officer’s Report states: Neighbours and the parish council highlighted inaccuracies with the red line plan, which included part of neighbouring land owned by 3rd parties on whom Notice had not been served. The application as submitted was thus invalid, with the incorrect Ownership Certificate having been completed. A revised red-line re-defining the application site has been received. The revision did not include any additional land but has been subject to some neighbour re- consultation. The scale and appearance/ design of the houses is not for consideration. There is nothing in the layout proposed to suggest any material impact on neighbouring amenities however in terms of loss of light or privacy, or any overbearing impact. These would be considered in a subsequent application for approval of the reserved matters of appearance, landscaping and scale The bank no longer being a defining characteristic of the street to an extent whereby removal of the small section proposed would have a material impact that would support refusal of the application. The Highway Officer is satisfied with the revised access arrangement, which would provide for adequate visibility along the street. A subsequent revision to the tree report however identifies that the incursion within the RPA would be minimal, and this is accepted by the Tree Officer. 19/03553/FUL. The Chapel, Horton Way, Broad Hinton. Loft conversion with dormer windows. New application including obscure glass in window overlooking side and rear property. Previous application did not include obscure glass window and was refused. No objection as applicant complied with requested changes. Awaiting Wilts decision. 19/03975/FUL.

Drains & Gulleys A new gully service has been introduced by Wiltshire to provide assistance with the gully emptying in quiet housing estates and low usage roads in villages. This enables smaller villages/ parishes who are not visited regularly by the main contractor to have the opportunity of a gully clearance service. The tanker operates on a rota basis around the whole of the county meaning that once a request is received Wiltshire will endeavour to visit our area within a six-week period.
