Parish Council Meeting 18thJuly 2007 The
following items on the Agenda were discussed: No decision on land being sought
for Allotments and Tennis Courts had been obtained and it was agreed to wait
until the end of the year. Royal Mail
will be asked to replace the post box in Butcher’s Hill as soon as
possible. An inspection and maintenance
programme, carried out every six months, will be introduced for the
cemetery. This will be logged and
recorded.
Moore Stephens had closed the audit for year ending 31st
March 2007 subject to a technicality.
Planning
applications received from SCDC:
S/1703/06/HSC
& S/1749/06/O – Storage of Acrylonitrile & Construction of a Carbon
Fibre
Precursor
Plant – Land off Ickleton Road, Duxford – Hexcel Composites Ltd. – Approve
Much
discussion was had on this application.
The following points were made against the application:
- Andrew Lansley MP had written
to H & S Executive to ask if information not disclosed can be
provided.
- Generating more traffic through
the village
- It will have an impact on
Duxford School (where Ickleton children attend) due to tankers passing the
school.
The Parish Council were concerned that the H
& S Executive does not seem to have assessed the proximity of the Gas
Station to the application site.
The Chairman
summarised the views given by the Councillors and a vote was taken. Tim Pavelin, Liz Goddard and Jane Hurst were
against, Lewis Duke, Terry Sadler, Sheila Birch and Robin Driver were in
favour. The decision was therefore
carried in favour of the planning application by four votes to three.
S/1111/07/LB
– Internal & External Alterations - Abbey Street Mr & Mrs S R Heaney - Approve
S/1112/07/F
– Extension – Abbey Street - Mr & Mrs S R Heaney (2) - Approve
S/1108/07/F
– Extension –Abbey Street – Mr D Vickers - Approve
Terry Sadler
declared a non-prejudicial interest.
S/1211/07/LB
– Internal & External alterations & Conversion of Offices to 3
Bedroomed dwelling – Abbey Street – Dalesville Holdings Ltd. plus amended site
plan - Refuse
S/1212/07/F –
Change of Use from Office to Residential - 18 Abbey Street – Dalesville
Holdings plus revised plans (site edged red amended to include entire
application site) - Refuse
Tim Pavelin declared a non-prejudicial interest
and declined to comment on this application.
The Parish Council does not object in principle
to the change of use but made the following points:
·
The plans for the front of the building,
especially the metal railings, are out of keeping for the village.
·
Parking has only been allowed for one vehicle to
park off-street. This particular part
of Abbey Street is already congested.
Planning
applications refused by SCDC:
S/0794/07/F
– Installation of an Awning – Ickleton Lion, Abbey Street – Greene King
S/0929/07/LB
– Fabric Awning – Ickleton Lion, Abbey Street – Greene King
S/0749/07/F
– Extension & Replacement Garage/Workshop – Church Street – Mr & Mrs S Cheney
S/0896/07/LB
– Alterations – Church Street – Mr
& Mrs S Cheney
The Parish
Council is concerned that it would appear any alterations to a listed building
will not meet with approval from the SCDC and have therefore asked John
Williams if he could arrange for a meeting with the new Conservation Officer.
Ickleton
Riverside Barns - update by Cllr John Williams – the
application is scheduled for 1st August Planning Committee Meeting.

Cemetery -
Headstones and Memorials – We shall shortly be introducing a
regular inspection and maintenance programme.
Our insurance company informs us that: ‘We would expect the headstones and
memorials in the Cemetery to be under the control of the deceased relatives,
and it would be their responsibility to ensure the safety of the
headstones. If this was not possible
and the Parish Council formally takes responsibility for the headstones and
memorials, it would be necessary for the Parish Council to take appropriate
action to ensure headstones and memorials are made safe to ensure the safety of
all persons using the cemetery.’
Vandalism
– The Village Hall has once again been targeted for vandalism. We are fortunate to have such a lovely hall
in the village and find it very disappointing that the hall is damaged in this
way.
Fireworks – Please
could we ask residents to think of others when letting off fireworks at
unexpected times? They can cause
concern to occupants of other nearby houses and especially their pets.
Posters – Please
could posters that have been pinned up on the notice board or elsewhere around
the village, be removed once the event(s) have taken place. Many thanks.
Liverpool
Street Station is due to be closed for two weeks over the
Christmas and New Year period.

On 19th
August there is a new Family Communion at 10.00 a.m. at Hinxton. It is for older children and adults (Godly
Play is available for 5-8 year olds in the tower room). It uses a simpler
worship format to explore Communion and what it means.
The basic
format for the Evening Service is Evening Prayer, but at Duxford on the third
Sunday in the month, it includes laying on of hands and prayers for those in
need.

NOTES FROM
HINKLEDUX RECTORY
Life on Mars
For those of
a certain age, Life on Mars is an entertaining TV series, describing the
adventures of a police officer who suddenly finds himself propelled back in
time to the 1970s (remember ‘The Sweeney’?!). The title suggest the underlying
theme – the struggles Sam has trying to understand and fit into a police force
which is operating in a different sort of world, with different technologies
and different social values. For him, it’s like being on another planet.
The Church
is in many ways facing similar problems, but the other way round. Many of our
present day structures and values reflect conditions 20 or 30 years ago, and it
comes as a shock to some of us to realise that somehow we got left behind as
technology, values and social norms changed and we didn’t really notice it. I
can still remember an occasion 50 years or so ago when my father tried to
explain to my bemused paternal grandparents how to use the newly installed
controls on the central heating – and I’ve always wondered when it would be my
turn!
A
recent report describes a critical situation for the Church in these words:
The emergence of a network and consumer society coincides with the
demise of Christendom. What is taking place is not merely the continued decline
of organized Christianity, but the death of the culture that formerly conferred
Christian identity upon the British people as a whole. If a core identity
survives for Britons, it is certainly no longer Christian. The culture of
Christianity has gone in the Britain of the new millennium.
We live in a society, whether that be urban or rural, which is now
basically second or even third generation pagan once again; and we cannot
simply work on the premise that all we have to do to bring people to Christ is
to ask them to remember their long-held, but dormant faith. Very many people
have no residue of Christian faith at all; it’s not just dormant, it’s
nonexistent; in so many instances we have to go back to basics; we are in a
critical missionary situation.
It
would be nice to imagine that in the villages of South Cambs we might be
protected from these issues, but recent events have shown that we are not
immune. So, for example, we have faced the demise of Sunday School in our
villages (according to the report ‘During the twentieth century Sunday School
attendance dropped from 55 per cent to 4 per cent of children, meaning that
even the rudiments of the Christian story and of Christian experience are
lacking in most young people’). And our efforts to engage with a changing
culture have been challenging for traditional church.
‘Godly
Play’ is an approach to the Bible which allows children to explore at their own
level. It is based on Montessori principles which respond to the child's request to
'Help me do it by myself.' This puts the teacher in the role of spiritual
supporter or guide who fully accepts that each child has his or her own
relationship with God already. Our
three churches sponsor a Godly Play session at Hinxton once a month for 4 to 8
year olds (it’s been running for four years now). We are trying to develop
something for 8 to 11 year olds which builds on the Godly Play experience, and
in May we introduced some of these ideas to a meeting of folk from all three
congregations. It seemed, at the time, an uncomfortable meeting, at which we
all stared at the chasm between Godly Play and what’s on offer in worship at
church.
The temptation for all of us is to retreat to
the safety of what we know – our own experience of growing up in church, but it
doesn’t work. As L P Hartley put it: ‘The past is another country - they do
things differently there.’ (‘The Go Between’). In fact, feedback from the three
church consultation recognised the important work being done in Godly Play and
in our wider efforts to reach out to families. If you would like to know more
about our work with children through Godly Play and family friendly worship –
perhaps you may be thinking of investigating church for your family at the
start of a new school year - do get in touch with the vicar, who can point you
in the right direction.

NEIGHBOURHOOD
WATCH
Recently a speed
check was conducted in Frogge Street, targeting vehicles leaving the
village. Having only been at the location for a matter of minutes, a speeding
vehicle was stopped for travelling at 42MPH and given a ticket. During
this process’ the driver was found to be in possession of a controlled drug and
thus managed to get himself arrested. It is worthwhile remembering that speeding
KILLS, regularly and with far reaching consequences Please remember that fact
when driving through our own village and other areas.
All of us, in our
everyday lives, come across things that cause us concern. In these times of
heightened terrorism concerns, those things should be notified to the
authorities if you think it might be useful in any way. Terrorists need money
as well as equipment, credit card fraud, theft, selling stolen goods and indeed
all property crime has been used in the past to fund terrorism. Hindsight is of
little use, the intelligence is needed before the event. Please call
Crimestoppers on ' 0800
555 111 or your local police on ' 0845 456 4564
with any information. We all have a role to play in counter-terrorism.
Finally, please
remember the ever present threat of distraction burglaries and watch out on
behalf of our friends and neighbours.
Stay safe. Keith and Tracy Head
DUXFORD IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM
AirSpace
formally opened by his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent
Following on from the
celebrations of 29th June, with local children being the first to
experience AirSpace, the building was formally opened by HRH The Duke of Kent
on Wednesday on 11th July, marking the completion of this dramatic
and exciting £25 million project.
A prestigious national
exhibition, AirSpace is a significant addition to the Imperial War Museum
Duxford and has a key role to play in increasing tourism to the East Anglian
region. Completed on time and to
budget, the opening of the inspirational family-orientated exhibition is timely
with the summer holidays about to commence.
HRH The Duke of Kent,
President of the Imperial War Museum, was joined by the new Secretary of State
for Culture, Media and Sport, the Right Honourable James Purnell MP.
THE CHESTERFORDS, ICKLETON & HINXTON W.I.
Thunderstorms, heavy rain and
all the horrors an English summer can throw at us were forecast for our Wine
and Cheese Evening, held in the lovely gardens of Dick and Mary Wombwell. How wrong it proved to be! The sun shone
warmly, the wind was just a gentle breeze, and the evening was a great success.
Everyone found the fifteen
hidden treasures in Mary’s Mediterranean garden and had great fun looking for
them.
Wine, cheese, and home-made
cakes were demolished with gusto, and the evening ended with a good raffle.
Our thanks go to Dick and
Mary for making us so welcome, not only in their garden, but in their house as
well.
The next meeting will be on
August 15th at 7.45 p.m. in the Chesterford Community Centre, when
the guest speaker, David Stevans from the CBM, will speak about services for
the Blind and Disabled People. Cynthia Rule

DUXFORD
CHURCH OF ENGLAND COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL
Duxford
School is now a Reading Connects School!
In June,
Duxford School became part of a national scheme to develop a whole school
reading culture. Teaching children to read is an important role for all
schools, but at Duxford we are aiming to encourage reading for pleasure, so
helping children to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.
The younger
members of the school have redesigned their library into a bright and welcoming
area with illustrations of their favourite Charlie and Lola characters.
Some of the
older boys and girls, who successfully represent our school in football,
netball, basketball and athletics teams, are becoming Reading Champions. They
will be using photos of themselves engrossed in a book to persuade other
budding sportsmen and women that reading is a ‘cool’ pastime.
As we are
now into the summer holidays, many children will be thinking back to the visit
by the children’s librarian and will be well into the Library Service’s Big
Wild Read. If you want to know more about this reading challenge, pop along to
one of our local libraries and children will receive a folder with stickers to
encourage them to read during their summer break.
We will be
keeping you informed of other exciting reading events as they happen during the
new school year. If you would like to know more, please contact Mrs
Blackburne-Maze, our Literacy Co-ordinator.
News from Duxford School PTA
Memories of
a Summer Fete
When I was
at Junior School my mum and dad always ran the tombola stall at the school
Summer Fete. I remember our larder cupboard floor being covered with tins, jars
and bottles. I particularly remember an out of date tin of Pease Pudding that
came back year after year.
It took my
parents hours to stick the tickets onto the tins etc. and even longer to fold
the matching ones (plus the non-winners).
I never
recall a wet or cold fete day; they all seemed to be scorching. I remember
strawberries and cream, dodgy face paint, even dodgier coloured hair spraying
and a really grungy white elephant stall. One year my sister bought a
spaniel-sized plastic donkey with nylon fur and a sombrero; true class!
My dad would
stand by the bottles and jars and yell “Roll-up, roll-up.” Occasionally he
would swing a deafening wooden football clacker that my grandpa had found on
his dust round. Mum held the tickets and spent a long time locating the jars of
pickled onions being won.
I can’t
recall a cake stall or a bouncy castle. The only raffle I remember was the year
my dad won a football signed by the West Ham team. As a Spurs fan he wasn’t too
impressed, but my sister and I (although football haters) were suitably
chuffed.
What I never
considered before was how or why that football came to be on the raffle.
Twenty-odd years later it has suddenly dawned on me that probably the football
club was generous enough to donate it. What is more, I now realise that, while
my parents were busy sticking cloakroom tickets onto tins of pease pudding,
someone else was trying to blag half-decent raffle prizes for diddly-squat.
It’s not
that I’m dimmer than the average Essex girl, but I had never given it much
thought before. SO… when a member of the PTA at Duxford School (buried under
cloakroom tickets and tins of spaghetti), asked if someone would write to local
companies asking them to donate raffle prizes, I stupidly volunteered.
Four or so
weeks ago I was rueing the moment I had opened my big gob and said “I’ll do
it.” Sixty letters later I was feeling
jaded. Three or so weeks ago I was wondering if I had wasted sixty envelopes.
Two or so weeks ago I was feeling optimistic, having had a few replies, but was
too busy responding to PTA emails to ‘chase-up’ non-responders. A week ago I
was really excited by the range of prizes that were accumulating. At the end of
last week a sudden flurry of last minute offers brought the prize tally to a
fantastic array.
This morning
(Mon 18th June) I awoke feeling like I’d been through the tumble
drier; bashed about a bit but all warm and fuzzy. And for the first time in two
decades I have a new set of Summer Fete memories.
Yesterday’s
‘Pirate Fete’ at Duxford School was fantastic. Perfect weather; a stylish tea
tent (kindly lent by the local Scout group), serving delicious cakes and teas,
a wonderful band; a great barbeque (meat supplied by B. Searle & Sons,
Sawston); face-painting; crazy golf; wet sponge throwing; bouncy black pig
(donated by Star FM); pirate races and much more. To top it off, we had record
raffle ticket sales and the best array of prizes many have seen.
We can’t
thank the companies and businesses that supported us enough, generous
contributors were:
The Wellcome
Trust, The Wheatsheaf Pub, Huntsman, Hexcel, Spicers, Cambridge Bioscience,
Cineworld, The Jade Fountain, Masa Restaurant, Tranquillity Beauty Salon,
Jack’s Fish and Chips, Cambridge Building Society, Volvo, IWM, Andrew
McCulloch, Sawston Books, Webb and Partners, Duxford Lodge, The Dial at Elmdon,
Sawston Sports Centre and Duxford Supermarket.
Initial
calculations, from our Treasurer, indicate that the fete made a record profit
of around £1700. This money will go directly to help the school.
That’s
great, but for me the highlight of the day was the team spirit amongst those
who helped organise and run the whole thing. Well done everyone, what a team!

BUSES DURING LONG ROAD CLOSURE
Our Citi 7 bus will use
Brooklands Avenue during the Long Road closure from 18th July to 2nd
September.
Anyone requiring
Addenbrooke’s Hospital should get off at the Davey Crescent stop in Great
Shelford and catch the Burton’s H1 which will use Granham’s Road, Great
Shelford on its journey between Trumpington Park and Ride and Addenbrooke’s.
During the duration of the
road closure, the H1 will accept Stagecoach Megarider, Goldrider and Dayrider
tickets, so there will be no additional cost.
