The following items were discussed
at the meeting held on Wednesday 21 January 2009:
Precept
A meeting of the Finance
sub-committee had been held and they proposed that the precept be kept at
£15,000. Terry Sadler had forwarded his
views and recommended £15,525. Following
discussion, Sheila Birch proposed and Liz Goddard seconded that the precept be
raised to £15,525. The Chairman called
for a vote and it was agreed by 4 votes to 3 against, that the Precept be
raised to £15,525.
Butcher’s Hill Street Light – Report that this light is still
not working has not had any effect despite the Clerk sending numerous e-mails
and phone calls to the appropriate authority.
The Clerk was asked to contact Wendy Landown, the new liaison officer at
Cambridgeshire County Council who Lewis Duke and the Clerk met at the Police
Neighbourhood Panel Meeting.
Mill Lane Crossing – Some work has been done on the
crossing since the last meeting, and a resident reported that two members of
Network Rail were at the crossing on Tuesday. The Chairman had visited the site
that day and said he was still not happy with the crossing, although it looked
like about ¾ of the work had been completed.
Wellcome Trust had written a strong letter to Network Rail supporting us
in getting the crossing made safe. No
further response has been received from Andrew Lansley CBE MP and the Clerk had
contacted his Secretary for a response on 11th January 2009. The Clerk will update Wellcome Trust, Andrew
Lansley CBE MP and also contact Network Rail asking for confirmation in writing
that they consider all the work has been done and is safe and to confirm any
recommendations for crossing the line.
Frogge Street 30 mph Speed Limits – A letter had been
received from Steven Thulborn (CCC) stating that any extension of the 30 mph speed
limit as suggested would not comply with County Council policy so therefore the
limit would not be relocated. The Clerk
will send a copy of the letter to the Parish Clerk of Great Chesterford Parish
Council.
Potholes - Sheila Birch reported more potholes – cemetery
bend, Grange Road (near Redlands footpath), Grange Road (near the arch bridge),
Hinxton Road near exit of Wellcome Trust walk.
The Clerk will also raise our concern again about the poor state of the
surface in Frogge Street. A complaint
had been received from a resident about the state of Frogge Street.
Speeding – The Clerk has notified the police about cars
speeding into The Stackyard from Coploe Road following a complaint from a
resident.

CAROL SINGING
The
evening of Thursday 18th December turned out just right. The group
swelled during the evening with about 20 adults and 8 children making a
splendid sound. After a halfway stop at Rosemary and Colin Hayes’ for mulled
wine and mince pies we finished up for more food and more mulled wine at
Miranda and Mark Stone-Wigg’s! Many
thanks to them and as usual to Jackie Casement for organizing help. The
collection this year raised £160 for the Red Balloon anti-bullying charity.
Many thanks to all for their generous contributions. John
Williams
CHURCH FETE 2009

join us or have any new ideas please contact me.
For
this year’s Fete we are delighted to announce that we are going to introduce a
Flower and Produce Show. We are very
pleased that John and Christina Taylor will be running this, so please look in
future ‘Icenes’ for more information. Monica

The
problem of speeding vehicles in rural villages and the effect it has on local
communities has been brought into sharp focus through Police Neighbourhood
Panel Meetings.
Speeding
is highly emotive. Discussion about it
often leads for calls for more enforcement action to be taken which is
unsustainable across the many parishes that perceive they have a speeding
problem. Additionally, public
perception of speeding hot spots does not correlate with the analysis of
casualty reduction sites identified by the County Council, which is where their
efforts are prioritised. This
difference creates unhelpful tensions and does little to aid understanding and
build confidence. A new approach is
needed and Speedwatch, a Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Road Safety
Partnership initiative provides that opportunity.
Speedwatch
provides the opportunity for the public to influence and contribute to the
education of drivers and to assist the police to identify locations, which
deserved enforcement activity. It will
also help inform decisions around other speed reduction measures. It relies heavily on members of the
community volunteering to monitor the speed of vehicles in their or an adjoining
neighbourhood using free standing portable detection and display equipment (see
below). Volunteers work in groups,
ideally 3, and monitor the speed of vehicles and record the details of those
exceeding the speed limit. Details are
noted and the information passed to the police. Letters are sent to the registered keepers of the vehicle
advising them of the circumstances and requesting their co-operation to reduce
speed.
Speedwatch
is therefore not an enforcement activity.
The aim is to provide advice to speeding motorists to improve driver
behaviour and to prevent collisions by encouraging drivers in Speedwatch areas
to slow down. This scheme is intended
to educate rather than to prosecute drivers.
The results of Speedwatch operations will be monitored carefully and
those found to be repeat ‘offenders’ will be the subject of targeted action by
the police.
The
speedwatch initiative has been piloted extensively in East Cambridgeshire. The feedback from volunteers and local
people has been extremely supportive.
Volunteers feel that they are actually doing something to help reduce
speeding in their villages. Residents
feel more satisfied that something is actually taking place and those caught
speeding have accepted the advice graciously realising that it would be a
summons in the future.
The
equipment to be deployed is the freestanding Speed Detector Unit (Minivisor
230VAS) marketed by Radarlux. See: http://www.radarlux.co.uk/products.htm (This equipment is heavy!) All volunteers will be fully trained and
supported by named police staff.
If
anyone in the village is interested in participating, please contact either
Terry Sadler or Jocelyn Flitton.
USING THE A & E DEPARTMENT AT
ADDENBROOKE’S
At
this time of year there is usually a flurry of comments in the press about the
pressures on hospitals. Addenbrooke’s
is no exception and has been hit hard this year particularly with the winter
vomiting bug norovirus. But it is not
just epidemics of flu, chest infections and falls in icy conditions that cause
the pressure on our hospitals.
Many
people go to A&E for problems which are neither accidents nor
emergencies. Most of these problems can
be dealt with at your GP surgery.
Using
A&E for non-emergencies puts unnecessary pressure on the hospital and
diverts care away from those most in need.
So, before going to A&E, ask yourself if your problem is really an
accident or emergency which needs hospital care. If not, then please ring the surgery rather than going to
A&E.
Sawston
Medical Practice is open throughout the day from 8.00 a.m. and always has both
a duty nurse and duty doctor available to assess urgent problems. We are working in partnership with NHS
Cambridgeshire to reduce unnecessary hospital attendances and keep A&E free
for those who need it most. Jenny
Parker
ON THE BUSES
The
last bus from Saffron Walden now departs twenty minutes later at 1800,
reaching Ickleton at 1814, Sawston at
1829 and Cambridge at 1907.
The
rest of our timetable is unchanged. David Lilley

THE ICKLETON
SOCIETY
We
had a well attended New Year’s Day walk with 20 people and two dogs. The route
selected by Sheila Birch was an interesting one, leaving from Gipsy Corner and
heading southwest up to a ridge and following the Parish boundary before descending
to Grange Road and returning to our cars.
We
were then entertained to some very tasty soup and drinks by Sheila and Gerry.
Many thanks to the Birches for organising the event and providing the much
appreciated hospitality, and to a couple of others who supplied some of the
soups. Thanks also to Peter Wombwell
and Lewis Duke for allowing us access across their land.
WINE TASTING: We’ve
decided to repeat last year’s very successful event and it will be held in the
Village Hall on Friday 20th February @ 7.45 p.m. Once again our local wine expert, Sebastian
Payne will provide and tell us about the selection of wines. Cheese and nibbles will be provided and
tickets are priced at £15 per person.
Space is limited - we can only cater for around 40, so first come –
first served.
Tickets
available only from Neil McKillen or mckillens_ickleton@btinernet.com.
OVER SIXTIES
Sadly
we have lost another long time member of the Over 60s club with the passing of
George Lilley on Christmas Day.
He
was able to come to our last meeting of the old year to enjoy a game of
dominoes and the Christmas tea, thus leaving us with happy memories of him. Cynthia Rule
THE WELLCOME TRUST ENERGY AWARENESS
DAY
The Wellcome Trust Genome Campus
has a proactive Environmental Policy and an associated Energy Campaign. As
you have previously shown an interest in environmental issues, you
are warmly invited to attend our Energy Awareness Day taking place on-site
on Wednesday February 11th from 11.30 - 15.00 in the Cairns
Pavilion.
Previous Awareness Days have been extremely successful, with a high staff
attendance. On February 11th there will be opportunities
to learn about the initiatives we've introduced on Campus to reduce
our carbon footprint. There will also be information for us all on how to
further reduce our energy consumption and our impact on the
environment at work, and in the home. There are always loads
of hints and tips, gadgets and freebies available to take away on the day.
This year, we are particularly pleased to announce the support of the
Energy Saving Trust advice centre East of England (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk),
who will be providing attendees with a home energy check questionnaire to
determine your home ‘energy rating’!
If you would like any more information about our environmental policy, or
if you would like to get involved on the day itself, please contact Dawn
Wise (Facilities Manager for Security, Green Transport & Energy
Management), email: dawn.wise@hinxton.wellcome.ac.uk)
- and we'll get back to you! Cordelia Langford

THE CHESTERFORDS,
ICKLETON AND HINXTON W.I.
On
December 4th the local W. I. members were invited to Scotsdales’
Nursery for a festive evening with coffee, mince-pies and a talk on Orchids and
other indoor plants by Peter Jackson.
All purchases were given a 10% discount,
and many festive plants etc. were brought with Christmas presents in mind.
Our
Christmas meeting was great fun, when we played a Rudolf Drive devised by Julie
Baillie. This was followed by a pot
luck supper, ending up traditionally with carols.
At
the January meeting Lucy Anderson gave an interesting talk on the Life of the
River Cam from the 11th century onwards.
At
the next meeting on February 18th Basil Abbot will talk about his
occupation as a Toastmaster. A reminder that cakes for Saffron Walden Community
Hospital will be required at the February meeting. Also subscriptions £29 are
due.
Visitors
welcome, please ring if interested. Cynthia

WILLIAM CHARLES
RULE 1930-2008
William
Charles Rule, known to everyone as ‘Bill’ was born in Mill Lane, Ickleton on 31st
January 1930. The family moved to
Hauxton, where Bill attended Harston and Hauxton School. His father died when Bill was only thirteen,
and it was necessary for Bill to leave school and find work as soon as
possible. He joined the Pest Control
and was engaged in crop spraying, particularly the overhead spraying of
orchards, and he travelled as far afield as the Scilly Isles. Bill worked for the company for twenty-five
years, before leaving to join Ciba, where he was happily employed for the
following twenty-one years.
Bill
loved to dance, especially rock and roll and he used to cycle over from Hauxton
to the village hops here in Ickleton. This is where he met Iris Toombs and
romance blossomed.
They
married here in Ickleton Church on January 3rd 1953.
For
a short while Bill and Iris lived in Brookhampton Street, where Robert was
born. Then they moved to Bird’s Close,
where Karen was born, completing the happy, close-knit family. Bill spent many hours tending his garden,
but he made time to indulge his passion for walking. He encouraged Karen to join him and together they set off on
their mini hikes, enjoying the countryside around and about Ickleton. Bill was very proud of his family. He was a loving supportive and encouraging
father and a hands on grandfather, adored by his grandchildren and great
grandchildren. He and Iris were perfect
partners in a long and happy marriage.
Apart
from his family, Bill’s passion was driving, with his great friend, Reg. The pair took part in MCC rallies, time
trials and endurance events three times each year, for thirty years or so. Reg built a two seater sports car, which was
their pride and joy. The Easter rallies
at Land’s End were a great favourite and many good friends were made whilst
enjoying the sport and socialising at the hotel in the evening.
Bill
and Iris loved to travel, to see new places and to meet new people. The Ickleton coach holiday was a regular
fixture, and they always explored Europe.
Bill had no interest in photography, but his excellent memory recorded
details of visits and events.
Following
his retirement from Ciba, Bill needed an outlet for his energy and he became an
invaluable asset at Robert’s garage, undertaking all manner of odd jobs and
excelling at brewing the perfect cuppa.
Bill’s
final months were borne with fortitude and hope, cared for by his family. Towards the end, the support of the nurses
from Sawston Medical Centre was a great comfort. Bill died peacefully at home on December 17th at 78
years of age. Julie
Baillie
Thank you
All
the family of Bill would like to thank all friends and neighbours for their
cards and letters received, also for donations to Sawston Medical Centre in his
memory.
Thank
you to Julie Baillie for her comforting services at both church and
crematorium. It was very much appreciated

Rule and family
COPLOE PIT WORK PARTY
On
Sunday 8th December seven volunteers from the Cambridge Conservation
Volunteers and one villager carried out a day’s cutting back of encroaching
blackthorn and hawthorn scrub. Fortunately the day was reasonable, between some
rainy days and a subsequent cold spell. Work over the years is paying off as
the chalkland species have expanded within the pit, and August saw the return
of several spikes of Felwort aka Autumn Gentian. Gerry
Birch
PILATES
Would you be interested in attending a morning
Pilates class in Hinxton Village Hall?
There is the possibility that a qualified Pilates
teacher may be able to come and take classes one morning a week after Easter,
but it would be helpful to gauge the level of
interest before she commits herself to it. Please contact the Hinxton Parish Clerk if you might like to take part.

GEORGE ALBERT
LILLEY 1926 - 2008
George
Lilley was born on 30th December 1926. He lived with his
grandmother, who brought him up in her home in Frogge Street, Ickleton and
remained with her until she died in 1943.
After her death, George went to live with his uncle and aunt, Hubert and
Mabel Lilley, who kept the ‘Jolly Butchers’ public house and shop in Abbey
Street.
When
he left school, George went to work for Godfrey’s until he was called up for
military service at the age of 18 in January 1945. George started training with the Parachute Regiment, but because
he had flat feet he was rejected and posted to the Pioneer Corps. After demobilisation he went to work for
Sindalls, who were doing building work for the expanding Aero Research (Ciba)
at Duxford. In 1950 George decided to re-join the Army and he signed on for five
years, this time with the Suffolk Regiment, where he rose to the rank of lance
corporal. After training, he was sent
to fight the terrorists in the jungles of Malaya. When he was demobilised, he went on a demob course at Letchworth,
where he trained as a welder. His first
job after this training was at Marshalls in Cambridge. Later he went to work
for Acrow’s in Saffron Walden. His
final employment before retirement was with the local council.
George
continued to live with his aunt Mabel when she moved to the bungalow near the
river at 33 Church Street. George
enjoyed gardening, and he helped his neighbour Mrs. Fawcett with her garden, in
addition to tending the rose borders at the village war memorial. He had a great interest in wildlife, especially
birds, and he kept his meadow as a conservation area for ground nesting
birds. The local duck population
responded to his call to be fed, flying into his garden from all along the
river. For many years George shared his
life with a feathered companion – Joey, an African Grey parrot. Joey declined to mimic human speech, but he
was an expert at other sounds, notably mimicking the trains on the nearby
railway.
George
was essentially a private man, but he enjoyed life. His friends will remember the jokes he like to play upon
others. For many years George belonged
to the Ickleton Over Sixties, where his favourite game was dominoes. For the past five years or so, George was unable
to get about without assistance and the highlight of the week was when Wilf
would collect him and they would set off to a garden centre and then have
lunch.
Wilf
was with George on Christmas morning when he died suddenly, but peacefully, in
the home he loved so much, just five days before what would have been his 82nd
birthday. Julie Baillie
Thanks
The
family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and attendance at the
funeral service, and for the generous donations to Ickleton church.
LETTER FROM
SOLIHULL
I
was very interested in so many familiar names in the ‘Lest we Forget’ article
in the December issue. One in particular I do know something about: Private
George Frederick Dean of the Bedfordshire Regiment. He was of course the husband of my aunt ‘Nance’ (Annie Elizabeth
Clements) and father of my cousin Joan (Dean) Dawson. Joan didn’t remember her dad but I do have a photo of the three
together. A few years ago my cousin
Hedley Igglesden visited Abbeville cemetery in France and found the grave of
George Dean, as he died in 1917 in France
aged 30, and his name is also on Ickleton War Memorial.
Also
would there now be anyone who remembers my dad’s elder brother George Ernest
Clements? Even my late cousins Douglas and Ursula (children of Uncle Wilf) were
only 9 and 6 when he died in May 1928
at the age of 36 years. George was a sergeant/cook in the Cambridgeshire
Regiment and a motor mechanic in civilian life. At least we do have contact
with George’s grandchildren, Paul Clements and Christine Bryant, and there is a
good photo of the five brothers in uniform in the Society photos. They all
survived W.W.1.
There
is a question mark against a Reynolds name.
Reynolds was a Hinxton family. I
knew Tony and Eric from school days.
Hope this is of some interest.
All the best to everyone.
Molly
Dagley nee Clements in the Midlands
Alfred
Reynolds was born in Ickleton, but his father came from Sampford. His mother
was an Ickleton woman, Sarah Freeman. So Alfred Reynolds and Herbert Freeman on
our War Memorial were cousins. Unusually, George Dean is also on the Weston
Colville War Memorial, the village where he was born. David
