Flu jabs at Haddenham


Are you a patient over 65 of Haddenham Health Centre?

Haddenham Health Centre is not sending out individual invitation letters to a flu vaccination clinic this year. It is therefore important to get the word out that people have to take the initiative and book themselves an appointment.

The remaining clinic is on Saturday 13th Nov from 8 - 12 and patients can make an appointment by phoning 0844 477 8575.
If patients are attending the doctors anyway they should ask the doctor or nurse to give them their flu vaccination and will not need to make a separate trip.

Remember, flu vaccines save lives

Litter Pick
A reminder and plea to ask as many people as possible to come for a very short time on Saturday 30th October to help clean up all the village lanes. Please meet at The Bell at 9.30am.

Pumpkin Night
This takes place at The Bell on Thursday  evening, 28th October. Weighing of the pumpkins will take place in the bar when all pumpkins have arrived!  Come along with or without a pumpkin and support this village tradition.

Remembrance Day Poppies
Sue Grimsdell, as she has done for  many years, will be coming round to all houses in Chearsley starting on Saturday, October 30th for you to buy a poppy and support the work of the Royal  British Legion.  Poppies will already be on sale at other outlets, but house sales are only authorized from October 30th until 14th November. This work is close to Sue’s heart as her Grandfather lost a leg in World War I, and two of her children, Richard and John have served in the army in Iraq and Afghanistan. Please support her and give generously to this worthy cause.

Parish Council Meeting held on Monday 11th October:

Electricity Supply on The Green - Details and costings regarding a permanent electricity supply on The Green in order to facilitate lights for the Christmas tree and use during the Fete and other occasions,   were put forward by Paul Oliver. Although the proposals were agreed in principal,  It was decided to look into health and safety, planning and finance considerations before going ahead.

Bonfires  at Winchendon Road - The Parish Council had written to Environmental Health asking them to look into this complaint.

Hedge at Village Hall - This should be arranged to be cut before Remembrance Day.

Salt Bins - As matters were still not clear about buying privately or buying from the Council, and the supply of salt,  Leif agreed to look into this.

Aviation noise - It appears the flight paths from Luton have been increased as from Spring 2010 which means planes can now fly over Chearsley. There was concern this would also happen from Heathrow and John Bercow should be approached to monitor the situation.

Memorial Bench
- This will be painted before Remembrance Sunday.

Millennium Field
- The lease  of this field terminates in in February 2011, although the Cricket Club will still be able to use part of it for car parking. Councillors were asked for feedback about the consequences of losing this facility.

Letter of complaint - Councillors were asked for their comments concerning a letter of criticism received by  the Parish council in order for a reply to be made.

Building work at Dieudonne - The builder was aware of keeping the village clean and tidy and the verges undamaged.

Benches on The Green - These have now been ordered and should be delivered shortly. Plaques will be inscribed in memory of Betty Duval who left a legacy to the village.

Traffic Calming - Marion Grapes  reported that, with money from the Fayre, and acting on behalf of the Parish Council, data strips would be put in place, which would monitor traffic over possibly a 2 week period. This information would enable the Police to advise on the best method for traffic calming in the village. It was brought up that many speeding culprits in Chearsley were in fact Chearsley residents and villagers should be encouraged to point this out to known offending drivers.

The poor state of some of the village roads was brought up and whether these could be repaired before the start to this winter.
Information at the bus stops are not up-to-date. Perhaps solar powered information panels could be installed.

The next meeting will be held at the Cricket Club at 7.30pm on Monday 8th November.
