Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Warsop’s Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Real Poppy Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Campaign by John McCrae, May 1915

Sunday 15th May was our third year of poppy seed scattering. The weather was on our side with sunshine all morning and lots of people joined us to scatter seeds on the wild meadow area of The Carrs, along the walls and around the cenotaph. It was lovely to see so many people supporting our campaign.

Friends of the Carrs kindly lent us their marquee which was funded by Big Warsop for community use and helped erect it, so a big thank you to them. We had merchandise on sale, a raffle and a cake stall. Raffle prizes and cakes were donated by members of the community. The first prize was a large hamper donated by Warsop Co-op, thanks go to them for their support. Big Warsop also gave a donation for us to purchase poppy seeds and sand, thanks to them too. A huge thank you must go to Mike Maceen the fairground manager (who were present on site during our event) who gave us a donation of £100. Karen and Ken Bonsall also joined us again and we were able to make a cheque presentation to the Lee Bonsall Memorial fund of £200. Unfortunately our local branch of the Royal British Legion couldn’t join us this year due to other commitments so at a later date the group made a cheque presentation to them of £200. We are able to do this through the community buying the Real Poppy Campaign merchandise, cakes and raffle tickets, We also receive donations and funding to help us to be able to organise events to support our two chosen charities and most importantly to remember the fallen heroes in WWI with Flanders poppies. Every seed we sow represents three people who died. Thanks go out to everyone who has supported us with this campaign. Look out for our float in the parade on Warsop Carnival Sunday 3rd July and visit our merchandise stall. Lest we forget. Page 8 July 2016 www.warsopparishcouncil.co.uk

The Parish of Warsop is lucky it is surrounded by acres of beautiful countryside, no one is ever more than a few minutes drive or a ten minute walk from it and I believe it is countryside well worth fighting for. Let Warsop Speak When developers are planning to build houses on our green and pleasant countryside, it means there is going to be less countryside for people to enjoy. You don’t have to be able to walk through fields to appreciate wheat waving away under glorious sunshine or herds of cows roaming freely munching away at the grass. When developers are allowed to encroach on this land it means it has gone for ever and no amount of landscaping can bring it back Campaign Update Trying to oppose such developments is not nimbysism as I have heard a few people mention but it is common sense. To those who The community of Warsop has been amazing over the last few think the countryside is a waste of space and would be better built on; lets look at what it does to help balance the environmental months; thank you to the many people who have given their equilibrium. It shelters wildlife, grows food, transpires oxygen and sequesters Carbon Dioxide. Imagine going for a walk along support to this campaign - to date over 850 people have completed Sookholme Lane to the Hills and Holes one summer’s day free of traffic, being able to enjoy the tranquility of nature and what it has the survey and over 1100 have signed the petition calling on the to offer; only for this peace to be be destroyed by motor vehicle after motor vehicle and and new houses with noises blaring from Local Government Ombudsman to reject the Local Plan until a full back gardens. and proper consultation with the people of Warsop has taken place. If any green land around Warsop is downgrded by the council, then the answer has to be not to build on it but to make the owner of that land improve it or sell it to someone who will improve the land and Over 95% of respondents feel the two fields near to the Hills and keep it as fields. Holes are unsuitable for development; many worry about the impact on the SSSI site through contamination, flooding in the immediate Warsop has seen many new housing developments recently,on area, the loss of quality farmland when there are brownfield sites brownfield sites, such as the transformation of the former Royal available and the ability of Warsop’s infrastructure to cope with an Estate and the former colliery site at Warsop Vale, the houses built increased population. There are fears about whether the Doctors’ on the former Welbeck Colliery cricket ground on Oakfield lane and surgeries will cope; if schools have enough places and the increase of course the new estate at Spion Kop. Moorfield Farm in Church in traffic and pollution - in addition to concerns about the number of Warsop is currently being built on and there are plans to build empty properties currently in Warsop. There is also a deep affection houses as well as an Industrial Estate on Welbeck Colliery. So plenty throughout Warsop for the Hills and Holes; with many people writ- of new houses have been built and Warsop should, by rights, be ing about their childhood memories and how important the area is bustling. If building these houses hasn’t regenerated the town centre to them and their families. then why does MDC think that repeating this exercise will do so? These findings have been presented to Warsop Parish Council and Mansfield District Council need to take a rain check and instead of they have offered their support to the Warsop people should a plan- looking to build new houses, they need to start ensuring that all the ning application be forthcoming. empty houses are occupied and that the infrastructure of Warsop such as health services, schools and other services are improved. The petition has not yet been submitted as we are waiting on the outcome of the Warsop Neighbourhood Plan and the draft Local Adrian Hardy Plan. At the time of writing no outline planning application has been submitted, however it is expected in the next few months. We are currently fundraising to get professional support in re- searching and presenting our case; this proved very successful for the group opposing the windfarm at Sookholme. We have a Race Night planned at The Plough Saturday 16th July – it should be a fun night as well as raising funds. Also look out for our stand at Warsop Carnival – pop by and sign the petition or buy a racehorse. We have a facebook page ‘Let Warsop Speak’ where opinions and thoughts are welcome. It is people power that has got this campaign this far – your contin- ued support is needed if we are to protect our beautiful rural town from becoming an urban sprawl.
