Dear Readers,

Well we’re into March and have broken the back of winter! The daffs are coming out, the days are feeling longer and the sun has some strength to it at last – there is light at the end of the tunnel.

So many people have suffered with terrible colds, viruses and worse this year, it would be nice to think that all that is behind us now.

There are many events advertised in this month’s SCAN from Beetle Drives to Easter Egg Hunts, Quizzes, Lent Lunches, Bingo, AGMs and the North Crawley Neighbourhood Planning Committee Open Day. It’s also a very busy time for the churches of our parish with something for everyone to enjoy. We are certainly spoilt for choice this month!

And a date for the diary children (and Dads), Mothering Sunday falls on the 11th March – don’t say you haven’t been warned!

Julia and Elaine

Rock Solid When your life is upside down and you are reeling from the shock It's no use people telling you to "Keep hold of the rock" For it isn't very helpful and you feel you've lost your grip As the storm clouds gather round you and your feet begin to slip.

"What rock?" you cry in anger as you sink into despair I saw it when the sun was out - but now it isn't there" Then as the storm clouds part and you can glimpse the distant peak Of the rock for just a second, listen and you'll hear it speak.

"I haven't moved" the Rock says" I know what you are going through.

CHICHELEY A sad note to begin this month by reporting the death of Rosemary Boulton. Rose, as she was known to most, was the eldest daughter to Frances and the late Dennis Boulton, a Chicheley farming family. Rose was a countrywoman and had spent most of her working life in farming, on various local farms and earlier in her life in Canada and Australia.

One of Rose’s particular strengths was traditional hedge laying, examples of which can still be seen if you know where to look. Rose enjoyed a good conversation, particularly about farming matters and until recently was active in village events. Our condolences go to Frances and the Boulton family.

Another change in the village is the move to Scotland of Mrs Barbara Murray to live with her daughter Sarah and son-in-law Peter. Barbara Deadline for April – 18th March

came to Chicheley 59 years ago when her husband David was employed by the Fountaine family at Newfield farm and is by chance moving to the area in Scotland that David originated from. We hope they will all be happy in their new home.

I mentioned the Poppy Appeal last month and by an unexpected coincidence was invited by Vic Anstey to join him on a visit to the Poppy factory at Richmond in London, an interesting visit where we were told the history of the poppy and how the factory came into being.

Primarily to provide an occupation for ex-soldiers who had been disabled during WW1, up to 150 at one time. Whilst still a production unit, the on-site workforce is now only 35 with the emphasis being to employ many more outworkers. This came about due to people’s changing needs of housing, location and cost of living. I would have liked to see in action the machine that cuts 10,000 poppies in just five minutes but that was not to be. The coach trip itself was a revelation; having given up driving some years ago I wonder how on earth any of you, especially any who visit London, put up with the traffic congestion.

Perhaps more homeworking using modern technology should become more common.

The date for the Lent lunch in Chicheley has been arranged for the 14th March. It will be held in the village hall from 12.30 p.m. and all are welcome. From previous experience it is likely to be a healthy lunch including soup and a baked potato, just the things for the cold weather we are currently experiencing.

A reminder about the teas on Good Friday and the new charging method.

The tea is on the 30th March in Chicheley village hall from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. The village hall committee has decided to make a change from charging for individual items but instead make a set charge of £4 per adult for which you can enjoy as much tea/coffee and cakes as you desire. Don’t forget if you bring along an old £5 note (or even a new one) you can have a shiny £1 coin and tea in exchange. At 7.00 p.m. in the evening there will be a service of Compline in Chicheley church.

This is an opportunity for a quiet reflection at the end of the day and preparation for the night ahead, a traditional service harking back I think Deadline for April – 18th March

too much tougher times in the past, not least that Jesus died on the Cross some 2000+ years ago on Good Friday.

The snowdrops in our garden and the daffodils poking through the grass are all indicators that spring cannot be too far away now. Looking over the hedges also shows that the winter crops in the fields are slowly growing. The birds are eating whatever we place out for them as apparently this is a difficult time for them as all of last year’s fruit and berries will have been eaten and there is nothing yet ready for them on the hedgerows, so they will welcome anything you give them. Felicity’s class of 10/11 year olds have become good at wild bird identification and their habits. It’s good to encourage the young in gaining knowledge about the world we live in, that’s both the natural world as well as the increasingly technological one.

Our usual St. George’s supper will be on Saturday 21st April this year, more details later.

Chichchat will continue to be held in the village hall on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from 10.30 am until noon. Those who went to Chichchat on the 2nd Tuesday in February had pancakes with their coffee, much enjoyed I understand. If you are living in Chicheley and would like to make new friends why not pop in for a few minutes, you will be made welcome I’m sure.

I am hoping some people may be able to help with the following request.

Felicity and I are putting together a small exhibition about “old Chicheley,” if anyone has photos or documents they could loan us that would be very helpful. The period we want to cover is from around 1900 (or earlier) up to 1960. We are interested in people, places, really anything that portrays Chicheley’s past. Ideally it will help if the information, especially photographs, identifies who, what and when. If you can help please call me on 01234 391371. Our target date is Easter this year for the exhibition.

Rotary Club of Newport Pagnell

Unfortunately, there was nothing new to report last month as our Club got back up to speed after the Christmas holidays. By the time this is published we will have held our 22nd annual Jaipur Dinner at the the restaurant of the same name in Milton Keynes. As always it is a sell-out event with a waiting list, and will raise several thousand pounds for the Rotary Jaipur Limb project. The limb project provides low cost prosthetics to amputees in developing countries, allowing them to continue working and supporting their families. In January we held a “Frugal Lunch” in Sherington which raised over £400 for local causes supported by Rotary. We are also busy preparing for the various Rotary Youth Competitions; Young Musician, Young Chef, Young Photographer, Youth Speaks and the Technology Tournament for schools. On the theme of youth, one of our younger members has organised a team to take part in the Rotary Club of Milton Keynes “Swimathon”. Teams of up to six members swim as many lengths as possible in 55 minutes, having obtained sponsorship per length. The event raises around £20,000 each year for Willen Hospice and other local causes.

Planning is in the early stages for the annual Plant Sale held in Olney in May, and for the Barn Dance to be held at Lavendon in the autumn.

We have enjoyed our usual wide variety of speakers at our weekly meetings. Topics this year have included Explorer Scouts, a medical student going to work at a hospital in Malawi, and a volunteer who had spent 10 weeks in Nepal with Operation Raleigh.

Despite the good work that it does locally and globally, Rotary recognises it does suffer an image problem. Probably thanks to comedy writers, the stereotype image of a Rotarian is an elderly gentleman in a blue blazer enjoying a long lunch (with wine). Think “Captain Mainwaring”. That may have been partially true 50 years ago, but not in 2018. Modern Rotarians contribute what they can when they can within the limits of family and financial commitments, but united by a belief in “Service Above Self”. New types of Club are appearing that meet the needs of their members, such as the recently formed Rotary Satellite Club of Woburn Sands and District.

Initiatives under the “Rotary 2” project are attracting younger members who want to contribute something to society with the leverage that membership of Rotary

International provides.

More information about the Rotary Club of Newport Pagnell is available from our web page, Facebook and Twitter. If you are interested in knowing more about our events, or joining Rotary, please contact us via social media or by e-mail at rotary.np@btinternet.com.

ORTH CRAWLEY NEWS AND COMMENT

NORTH CRAWLEY PARISH COUNCIL

Notes from the last Parish Council meeting; the full minutes can be found on our website: www.northcrawley-pc.gov.uk The Council met on Tuesday 6th Feb 2018 Apologies Cllr L Maclennan and Cllr L Fryer. These apologies were accepted.

Neighbourhood Plan

Cllr Magee reported that a good meeting had been held the previous evening. Housing needs and character assessments had been carried out. Credit was due to the members of the Steering Committee for the time taken to achieve this and for getting to the stage of being close to producing a proposed plan. A consultant had been appointed who was proving to be very competent. A public event in the Institute was planned for Saturday 3 March when residents would be able to see the proposed plan.

The next step would be a referendum approximately two months later when residents would be able to vote on whether to accept or reject the plan.

Ward Councillor’s Report

It was reported that the budget was being discussed that evening. A 5.99% increase was being proposed which was 1% higher than that recommended in December. There were some relatively significant savings being recommended, one of which was the removal of the 28 day window for dealing with potholes and road resurfacing reductions. Grit bins were still in the budget at the moment. The budget would be considered at a meeting on 21 February when it would be adopted. There would however definitely be some amendments made to it beforehand.

Update from PCSO Arlene Ormston: Arlene Ormston reported that she was going to deliver letters to elderly residents warning them to be vigilent. She would also like to see a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in North Crawley. She understood that one of the residents was quite keen to become involved. A volunteer would be needed for each road and also a Co-ordinator who would receive some training in the role from Thames Valley Police. She reported that it was planned to put a community speed device in Folly Lane. This device would take the registration number of cars and drivers would receive a letter if they exceeded the speed limit and would be fined after three letters. The statistics for crime in the village between 1.6.17 and 6.2.18 were as follows: 1 burglary in a dwelling – November 2017 2 attempted burglaries in dwellings – October 2017 and January 2018

Deadline for April – 18th March

Other theft – November 2017 and December 2017 Criminal damage to vehicle – August 2017 Ward Cllr Mclean mentioned Operation Drover. This had happened a few weeks previously where local farmers were provided with police radios so that they could report incidents, e.g. hare coursing. This had been very successful and it was planned to hold these every three to four months.

It was agreed that doorbell cameras were very useful and effective. Cllr Sandall had brought one of these to the meeting for people to see and also reported that there was a discount available that would save £30 on the price. These could be either stand-alone or wired and could be linked to a mobile phone. The manufacturer would replace the doorbell camera free of charge if it was stolen.

Planning

Cranfield Air Park: Ward Cllr Geary reported that Milton Keynes Council would normally be expected to make a professional comment on applications such as these but he had no information as to whether or not this had been done. There was concern about this application for the following reasons: The traffic through the village would increase to the extent that it would be much worse than it currently was; the North Crawley Neighbourhood Plan questionnaire responses had shown that there was great concern within the village about the volume and speed of traffic at the moment even without this development; the planned entrance to the development was between Cranfield, Astwood and North Crawley and drivers would therefore naturally tend to drive through these villages to gain access to the development. Ward Councillor Geary agreed that these were all good reasons to try to stop this development. However, there was also a need for job opportunities, etc. to be created. He therefore suggested that, when writing about this application, it might be prudent to say, should the application be approved, that these adverse effects could be mitigated by traffic being guided towards the motorway rather than through the villages and that there was a link with the proposed East/West corridor.

CB17/02719 Wharley End Development: This application for 300 houses was to become the subject of a public inquiry.

17/03055/FUL 47 High Street – proposed 3 storey side and front extension: Cllr Small reported that she had seen on the website that a letter of objection had been written by a landscape architect who was concerned about the new driveway and the effect this would have on the trees on the property.

18/00072/FUL 47 High Street - New build garage and annex: Cllr Small reported that this was on the MKC planning portal with the status of awaiting a decision.

Trees in Nixies Walk: Cllr Small reported that that she had seen on the MKC planning portal that an application had been made by Mr and Mrs Brandon for work to be carried out on some trees in their front garden. It was noted that the Parish Council would make a decision regarding the plane trees once a Conservation Officer from MKC had made a site visit and commented on them.

Ward Forum: This would be held on 21 March at Weston Underwood. All were welcome to attend.

At its simplest, it’s about like-minded neighbours getting together to make their community safer – by reporting crime, anti-social and suspicious behaviour, for example – but, just as importantly, looking out for each other.

Would you like to bring your community closer together, or do you have concerns about burglary, antisocial behaviour or the general environment in your street?

Through Neighbourhood Watch you can help the Police and your neighbours to strengthen your community.

You can make your area a better place to live. The scheme is free to join.

Aims of Neighbourhood Watch  To reduce opportunities for crime and make it more difficult for criminals to act  To build community spirit so that neighbours can work together for everybody’s benefit – to reduce the fear of crime. We encourage you to set up a Closed Group in Facebook for your members Deadline for April – 18th March

 To report suspicious incidents in your neighbourhood to the Police and know how to report them  To look at improving the neighbourhood, (fixing street lighting, potholes, overgrown bushes etc.)

Benefits  NHW signage and stickers act as a deterrent  Receipt of Thames Valley Alert messages informing you about burglaries and crime trends taking place in your area. These messages can also include Witness Appeals, information about/from our policing teams and Thames Valley Police press releases  Most insurers offer a discount if you are a member of a NHW scheme  Crime reduction and policing information given at the setup meeting including leaflets There are over 500 schemes in the Milton Keynes area, Members receive window stickers and access to a variety of safety and crime prevention equipment at reduced prices.

Each scheme needs a volunteer Co-ordinator who is the prime link the scheme and the Police. The Co-ordinator’s role is not demanding, but they are police checked.

Interested? Email david.huckle@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk for more information about the schemes and the role of the Coordinator. And please check the MKNHWA www.mkneighbourhoodwatch.org website for information and contacts specifically for the Milton Keynes area.

SHERINGTON Sherington Life Hopefully March will see the weather brightening up, it seems to have been a long, grey winter. The daffodils planted in the churchyard in the autumn (refer to back issues of the Scan for details – available on the Sherington Village website  ) should be making an appearance by now, and the end of March sees the clocks Springing forward to brighter evenings and the clock on the cooker being an hour behind until October because you’ve lost the manual.

There are still interesting things to do in Sherington at any time of the year – have you tried Art at the Hart - Something Less Boring? Organised

by Liddy and Adam (who do both art and sport – who’d have thought those two pastimes were compatible?) Their USP is “making art and sport fun healthy creative and inclusive.” They got the idea from a trip to San Francisco ( at art party sessions), gave up their jobs to spread the word in the UK. The White Hart was happy to host them so now Wednesday night sees painting and creative endeavour for a few hours. Everyone goes away with a wall ready piece of art, no previous experience necessary and don’t be scared! Check out www.somethinglessboring.co.uk/art-at-the-hart We send a warm welcome to new arrivals in Church Road, Rob and Lynn and their two lovely dogs. They have moved from Harpenden after Rob has commuted daily to Newport Pagnell for many years. He is now enjoying his 5 minute commute via the pretty route through Little Crawley.

Did you know that Sherington has a village caretaker ? No? Well we do.

His name is Jim Starkey and can be spotted in a very fetching high-viz Deadline for April – 18th March

around and about doing all those jobs no one else can be bothered to take care of to make Sherington a lovely place to live! If you see something which you think needs his attention (for example, misplaced kerb stones – you get the idea) he can be contacted at clerk@sheringtonpc.co.uk Admittedly not as sexy as shining a vast bat-shaped light up in the night sky but equally as effective.

The phone box in the centre of the village by the Knoll and the bus stop is now owned by the village! Taking advantage of a scheme for local communities to buy these pieces of modern art for just £1 the Parish Council blew the 2018 budget and now it’s ours! It is being painted and the Parish Council want suggestions for what it can be used for. Googling “things you can do with a decommissioned phone box” yielded: 1. Library (but we do already have the book cupboard on the corner of Carters Close ) 2. Art Gallery 3. Defibrillator station 4. Coffee Shop 5.Public toilet (NO!!!)

Seriously, the Parish Council are looking for suggestions as to what we could use it for so if you have an idea please contact your local Councillor. Let’s be creative and do something exciting for Sherington.

These Feathered Friends are an observant (some would say nosey) team and have spotted that the post box in School Lane (the one that looks like Iron Man – no, check it out, it really does) is still closed. Does anyone know why? This was very handy so must have inconvenienced many Sheringtonians. What an eyesore at the top of Bedford Road after some parasite has dumped a very large amount of rubbish. The threat of huge fines doesn’t seem to put off some people.

Finally we were sad to hear of the passing of Irene Rauta aged 87 years.

She passed away peacefully at Northampton General Hospital on February 1st. She had lived in the village for over twenty years and in her early years Deadline for April – 18th March

was a Statistician but probably known latterly as the lady driving funny little cars with her dog riding proud alongside. Her funeral will be held at 10.45am on 1st March at Crownhill Crematorium.

Don’t forget to look after you Mums on Mother’s day on March 11th (ironing always goes down well) and Easter Sunday on April 1st giving you the last chance to get rid of those out of date Quality Street from Christmas!

See you in April.

PANCAKE DAY Tim and Coralie kindly invited us - the villagers- to have pancakes with them on Shrove Tuesday, 13th February. I was surprised that more people did not respond to this warm gesture. The fourteen of us who did go enjoyed pancakes hot from the pan with various fillings of our choice cooked either by Coralie or Tim. With a woodfire burning in the hearth and pleasant chat - Brexit and Donald Trump were not mentioned- a very enjoyable time was had by all.

Thank you very much Tim and Coralie Barbara Gotts

PLANNING APPLICATIONS 10.1 High Street development – Cllr Bush introduced Mr Jamie Gibbins of Barwood Homes Ltd who attended to discuss the High Street development.

Deadline for April – 18th March

gates to the larger houses at the far end of the site. Mr Gibbins said he would be happy to look at these matters and was happy to liaise with the parish council, the biodiversity group and also the two farmers who had rights of way over the farm track. Cllr Thatcher said that information would be posted on the PC website to enable villagers to register their interest with Barwood Homes.

13.

RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS 13.1 High Street development - Mr Edward Shires commented that the safety risk on the farm track was similar to other farm access points in the village i.e. in Perry Lane, but it was pointed out that this was not now used by farm vehicles due to cars obstructing the road making it too narrow.

14.

COUNCILLORS ITEMS Cllr Thatcher reported that new litter/recycling bins and park benches were required in the village play area adjacent to the village shop - it was agreed to purchase these and Cllr Selvey would see if LGSS could provide a cheaper alternative.

A couple of his friends came to help with the talk, one of them being John Kitchen. Philip's talk was in three parts. The history of the railway at Wolverton, as Wolverton is the first railway town in the country. This is because the technology of the time would not allow trains go from London Euston to Birmingham non-stop, followed by the royal trains that were build there and then finally about recent activity and the future of the works.
