Editorial

The June weather may have been too

hot for some but it did give us the

chance to enjoy all the outdoor events

which took place over the month as well

as some time spent just sitting in the

garden and enjoying the weather. It

was too hot to do anything else!

The next two months will again be

hoping for good weather with Garden

Parties, Cream Teas, the School Summer

Fete, (where sadly we have to say

farewell to Richard Lloyd the

Headmaster who is stepping down after

11 years), a Teddy Bears Picnic, Open

Studio, and the Kite Festival in Royston.

The Over 60’s are running a trip to the

‘End of Pier Show’ in Cromer in

September- tickets will go very quickly.

Another one to book early is the ‘Best of

British’ event run by the Friends of SM

Church, in October. Tickets are usually

sold out within weeks!

Waste Collection : Green Bins

Some residents have found their green bins are not

being collected. This is because they have been found to

be contaminated with plastic and even just one

contaminated bin means the whole lorry load is

contaminated and ends up in landfill. That is an awful

waste of tax-payers’ money especially as the cost for

using landfill sites is increasing because the land

available for landfill is decreasing.

In future, please do not use the bags you can buy from

Tesco and Sainsburys for your kitchen waste such as

potato peelings and left-overs. Even though the bags are

marked “Recyclable and Compostable” they take a very

long time to decompose and therefore foul up the

composting system.

South Cambs. District Council can supply acceptable

paper bags at a cost of £4.50 per 50 bags. For the

Mordens Ward, I am willing to order these for you and

deliver them to your door if you let me know you would

like some.

Cicely Murfitt 01763 852 526

cllr.murfitt@scambs.gov.uk

scambs.gov.uk – website

A very useful tool if you wish to report or need

information on the following items – Bins, Council Tax,

Benefits, Business, Planning, The Council, Community,

Building Control, Elections, Environment (which includes

drainage, dog fouling, abandon vehicles, tipping, graffiti,

litter, pestcontrol, and street lighting), Housing, and

Transport (which includes senior railcards, street care

and cleaning, bus timetables, roads and street

maintenance, and community transport)

The site is quite easy to use, for example if you are

reporting a pothole, dropped drain, or a blocked drain,

you click on the Report It icon. Open up all the icons for

all the services, choose the icon you need (Transport for

potholes), (Environment for drainage) then follow the

instructions which will ask for your postcode and mark

the pothole or drain on the map. You should receive a

confirmation email confirming your enquiry has been

received, and even a date when it may be dealt with.

further supplies. Two village organisations have benefitted from the Community Chest – Bowls Club and

Smarties, each receiving a grant for £1000. Cllr Murfitt has obtained the names of the owners of the

‘Orchard’ in Station Road and the parishioner has been notified.

• County Councillor Mr S Kindersley – reported that the verges have been cut, but where the

undergrowth is causing an obstruction – this should be reported to the South Cambs. Council. Poor state

of roads, potholes etc – again this should be reported to the SCC. (There is a note in the Newsletter

listing the different SCC Departments and how to report it. (p2 )

2017/2018 Map.

Windmill Close. The cubs and scouts also litterpicked along Hay Street, Recreation Ground, Conservation

Area, Brook End and Bogs Gap.

work will start very soon.

you would be interested in supporting such a

venture, please send an email to this address –

guildengaumont@gmail.com

In the subject line of the email, write ‘Guilden

Gaumont’. In the body of the email, write ‘Yes, I

would be interested’ then list your three favourite

genres (eg, comedy, thriller, foreign) and one film

from each genre. In order for the cinema club to

operate, it would be have to be set up on the

following basis;

with licensing rules).

• Membership fees would be £15 per year (payable

upon registration).

• There would be between 4 – 6 shows throughout

the year.

Thursday in the village hall.

• The films would not be the very latest cinema

releases

Steeple Morden has been treated to two litter picking sessions this month. The first one was carried out by the cubs and scouts from The Mordens 6th Royston Air Scout Group who collected four full bags of rubbish plus some other miscellaneous items from the Brook End, Bogs Gap, Recreation Ground and Conservation areas - the group covered a really impressive area. Many thanks to the cub and scout leaders for helping with this exercise and giving us access to such a huge workforce! The latest 'sixty minute makeover' event took place on Saturday 10th June 2017 and tackled Zone 4 - the southern end of Steeple Morden (Station Road and Ashwell Road) with 14 volunteers picking for an hour, including 5 children. Again, a surprisingly large amount of rubbish was collected; thanks to all who helped with this on what was a particularly warm afternoon. The next litter pick event is on Saturday 8th July 2017 - we will be meeting outside the Waggon and Horses Pub at 2pm - all welcome. If you would like to join us please email smlitterpick@yahoo.com or call Ginny on 01763 852 475 - as always the more the merrier!

Thanks again to all who have and continue to support this initiative - your efforts are appreciated!

Steeple Morden Parish Council is pleased to announce that a successful grant application was made for £534 from the Big Lottery Fund to buy litter picking equipment to support our local initiative. This grant has enabled the PC to buy warning signs, cones, litter pickers, bag holders and hi-viz vests.

Allotments For Rent

Would you like the satisfaction of growing your own veg, saving a few pounds on your shopping bill and

possibly making new friends along the way?

Our site on the edge of the village has now been established for four years. We are a small, friendly,

lively, enthusiastic (and mixed ability!) group of members, with around 20 plots on site. Due to changes

of circumstance, one or two have recently become available so we would love you to join our thriving

community of Allotmenteers!

We have ‘full size’ and ‘half size’ plots – perhaps you would like to share with a friend or neighbour, or

give your children the chance to learn more about where their food comes from by growing their own?

It is a self-contained, locked site with a water supply and communal composting, and you can put a shed

on your plot if needed.

So if you want to be eating fresh Asparagus in April and your own Leeks in December please get in

touch!

The “Mordens Community First Response Group” We are looking for new members

If you have a few hours spare a week, work from home from time to time, are home-based or

just fancy doing something new that is massively rewarding, then please get in touch.

The Mordens CFR Group is a small group of local volunteers who are trained by the ambulance service to attend 999 ambulance related calls within an approximate 5 mile radius of the Mordens. Since going live in July last year, we have attended over 120 calls, and in the vast majority of cases, have been the first to arrive on scene. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact myself, Nick Badger on (01763) 852191, 07860 537114 or mail nickmbadger@yahoo.co.uk or the group’s co-ordinator Wayne Cox on (01763) 853206, 07795 823376 or by mail waynecox79@yahoo.co.uk
