NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

All the stickers should have been received by householders this week. If you haven’t received yours either contact the person who offered to post them in your road or put a request on the Village Facebook Page. The Village Shop also has a supply so you can pick yours up when you have purchased your paper, had a cup of coffee and indulged in a cream cake.

VILLAGE SHOP

New products are arriving each week for either BBQ’s (the rain won’t go on for ever) or nibbles to have whilst watching your favourite film or tv programme.

The Staff are happy to take orders for KINGS FARM PRODUCTS and have them delivered to the shop for your convenience. Their quality is excellent, fresh and prices on a par if not cheaper than some supermarkets. .

FRESH VEGETABLES are being brought in to the shop on a daily basis from our residents who have an abundance of produce which are sold at a very low price . Once again FRESH FRESH FRESH. Far better than any supermarket produce which has travelled many air miles and kept in chiller conditions.

COLD DRINKS in the Chiller enough to fill a new reservoir  -  in the VILLAGE SHOP.

CREAM TEAS

It is very tranquil just sitting outside with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoying the surroundings of this very pretty church and village

THE PLOUGH

The Plough has had their building application approved and this FRIDAY 12th JULY will be last evening that Sheena will be serving meals for the time being.  THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE BAR which will continue to serve their thirsty customers throughout the refurbishments.

OUR VILLAGE – GET INVOLVED

For those residents who are on the Village Facebook Page you will have read several posts relating to the speeding vehicles which hurtle along Weedon Hill and Hyde Heath Road. Despite the bravest efforts of the Village Hall Society in co-operation with the Parish Council the speeding indicators have had little affect to alleviate the problem. The speeding indicators were purchased by businesses and donations from individuals in the Village. Several thousands of pounds went into this scheme .

Our Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Paul McConnell has taken this several steps forward and is in the process of exploring the possiblities of monitoring the speeding vehicles this, however, does need the help of residents to be on a rota basis to make this work.

Paul has asked for volunteers but only 5 out of approximately 1200 residents have put their hands up.

It is no use posting concerns and not acting upon them. We either work together as a community to tackle this very serious problem or wait until there is a fatality and then act upon it. Which is not a good idea.

We have a Hyde Heath Village Society whose volunteers act on your behalf. We have a Village Hall Committee who act on your behalf and we have Paul McConnell our Neighbourhood Watch convenor who acts tirelessly on your behalf - surely they deserve to be supported for their continuing efforts to keep our Village safe , taking on board and acting upon genuine safety issues.

Please don’t bury your heads in the sand and hope the problem will go away – because it won’t.

When the next Village Society and Neighbourhood Watch Scheme announce their next meeting please  attend and air your views and concerns. These people are there listen to you and unless you are actually in attendance how are they to progress further with the safety measures which are so desperately needed.
