PCSO John Coppard will also be present. !Remember, if you have any specific queries, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the Parish Council or Clerk. !We would like to encourage all village groups to give a report of their year’s activities -‐ please get in touch with the Clerk asap so we can allocate you a slot on the agenda. !Do come along, your thoughts and opinions matter a great deal and your ideas can help shape the future of our parish. !!
Teversham’s Kiosk Library is OPEN It has taken us a while, but with lots of help and kind donations of books, we are delighted that the Kiosk Library on the village green is now open. Congratulations to our competition winners Ozdes and Selim, and thank you to Mr Alan Willis and everyone who came along for the Grand Opening. It was super to see so many of you! !
Using the Teversham Kiosk Library !This phone box has been turned into a mini-‐lending library for the residents of Teversham by Teversham Parish Council. !We ask you to use it as often as you like and to respect it as a community service that it is being managed by volunteers for the residents of Teversham. !Here’s how it works: • Bring along a book of any sort; any book you
think villagers might like to read. • Then have a look at the books (Children’s
books are in the box on the floor) • When you’ve found a book that you wish to
‘borrow’, be sure to leave a book of your own in its place or return the one you borrow.
• The best way you can help is to borrow books from the box regularly. !
If you have any comments or suggestions, please write them on a Post-‐It note on the noticeboard for the organisers to have a look at, or email the Clerk [email protected]

TEVERSHAM PARISH COUNCIL! SPRING 2014 !Footpath Re-‐surfaced at
Borley Way !This project is proof that by getting in touch and letting us know what you think CAN make a difference. !The footpath going across the play area was uneven, flooded when it rains heavily and left a nasty yellow deposit on your shoes. We received complaints about the poor state of the path and set about finding out the best solution to address the problems. !It was finally agreed that the path should be re-‐surfaced with tarmac and the work was recently completed. The footpath is now back to its original width and provides a smooth surface for everyone.
So thank you to those residents who took the time to write and take photographs of the path when it was flooded. !Members also agreed for a concrete apron to be added in front of the tea bar hatch at the Pavilion, and the entrance to the Recreation Ground, High Street. This has made an enormous difference to the many people who use this facility week in, week out. !
Bus Shelter Refurbishment Members discussed a letter received from another resident regarding the state of the bus shelters along Gazelle Way. At their budget meeting for 2014/2015, members agreed to consider replacing the glazing in the three shelters along Gazelle Way and the two along Cherry Hinton Road. This will cost just under £4,500. !!

TEVERSHAM PARISH COUNCIL! SPRING 2014 !Teversham Milestones Project
You may remember, the Parish Council was awarded just over £14,000 from the development on Newmarket Road to spend on ‘public art’. Councillors Amrani and Martin worked with the help of a Project Manager, Alison Turnbull, to appoint Charlotte Howarth to create a lasting legacy for Teversham. Charlotte worked with local schools and groups
and turned their i d e a s a n d inspiration into 5 m i l e s t o n e s . These have been placed around the parish and w e w i l l b e h o s t i n g a n exciting event in the near future t o o f f i c i a l l y launch them. Notices will be placed around the pa r i sh to adve r t i s e t he event, which we hope will be held in mid-‐May.

!Outcome of the Public Sessions about the
Proposed Skate Park at Borley Way Play Area !
Councillors were delighted that so many of you took the time to come along to the open sessions at the Hope Community Church at the end of February. !Councillors were able to speak with all of the residents who came along and were hopefully able to address concerns raised about noise and anti-‐social behaviour. The Parish Council looked carefully at all of the comments/concerns raised for and against the scheme and at their March 2014 meeting, it was agreed to take the project forward. The next step is to apply for a grant of £30,000. The Parish Council have earmarked just under £20,000 towards the project. If our funding application is unsuccessful, the project may not proceed. !The parish council is also in the process of working with the District Council to ensure that the site meets with all current regulations and will keep residents updated with progress of the project. !On display were two concept designs to show what type of equipment could be installed in the available space. Concept 1 was the resounding winner (with an added grind rail from 2). !!!
