Melbourn Mobile Warden Scheme

Can we help you?

Can we help a relative?

Can we help a neighbour?

Who does the Scheme help? The scheme is open to the mobility impaired in Melbourn, Meldreth and Shepreth including those who live alone or with their families, but need the extra support offered by our services. Couples too are most welcome. It is also open to those in sheltered housing, as the scheme offers different, but complementary services. Note: The scheme also offers its services for short periods to cover the temporary absence of relatives who otherwise provide this support.

We offer help with: • Friendship and support via twice weekly visits and daily phone calls • Ordering and collection of prescriptions • Basic shopping • Collection of pensions • Setting up Lifeline service • Bereavement support • Going to the Post Office to pay your bills • Just coming round for a chat

What will it cost? We do have to make a small weekly charge for the warden’s services. The fee is only £7.50 per week (a little more for couples).

books and our children’s section grows and grows. A new section added in September is books on health and wellbeing, both adult and junior.

To the delight of many small children, Mandy’s Story Time on Friday mornings has restarted. It is half an hour of stories, songs and games for the under 5s. At the end many of the mothers and carers stay on to have a coffee and a chat in the café whilst the children play together. Coming along to Story Time is a very good way to get to know people, especially if you are new to the area. Jane Stevens

News from Moorlands Court

With the summer firmly behind us and the darker evenings and cooler temperatures here again, we head towards the end of the year in a much better place than we were at this point last year. Covid restrictions have eased and our tenants are all, once again, enjoying their lunches together in the restaurant and making good use of the communal areas to chat and catch up with their friends in the afternoons. As usual, our extremely talented kitchen staff continue to keep our tenants, staff and community clients well fed and nourished with their delicious, homemade and perfectly balanced lunches. Seeing everyone back in the restaurant for lunch again is wonderful and feels like life has, at last, returned to normal. Communal activities This summer we began to re-introduce some communal activities which have been a great relief for everyone. One of our new ventures is a weekly cinema afternoon. We have had a variety of genres so far, from The Greatest Showman to the classic Casablanca. Popcorn and ice cream are on offer and we try to recreate as much of the “cinema” experience as we can, right down to issuing everyone with a cinema ticket to keep as a memento. Everyone appears to be enjoying the afternoons and hopefully this new activity will continue to grow in popularity. As we approach the festive period, I’m pretty confident there will be some Christmas films on the bill. After all, who doesn’t love a Christmas film?

At the end of the summer, we had a brilliant entertainment duo visit Moorlands Court to treat

our Tenants, Day Centre Clients and staff. Somethin’ Else provided a cheeky seaside inspired show which was hilariously funny and certainly perked everyone up. The laughter was infectious and everyone had a brilliant afternoon. The cheering and clapping was uplifting after the silence we have had over the past few months. Day Centre Our Day Centre is once again very busy and we have welcomed back some familiar faces along with some new ones too. One of the very popular activities

is musical bingo held on a Thursday morning. I’ve even noticed one of our clients up dancing to the music. How wonderful to feel so comfortable and engrossed, you lose any inhibitions and just “feel the music”. Our Day Centre staff strive to offer our clients an enjoyable and entertaining day and all the activities on offer give those attending a break from their usual day to day routine while offering their families a much needed break. If you have a friend or relative who you think might benefit from attending one or more of our Day Centre sessions, please give us a call and we can discuss your needs. The Day Centre runs every Tuesday – Friday 10 am – 3 pm.

At Moorlands Court we have some excellent facilities, from superfast Wi-Fi to private meeting rooms. These facilities could make the perfect setting to enable you to hold meetings, conferences or interviews here at very reasonable rates. We are also able to offer buffet style refreshments for your meetings, which are made on site by our kitchen staff. Please give us a call if this is something we are able to help with. Tenants’ stories

I recently went to speak to one of our tenants, Muriel, about her life before she came to live at Moorlands Court. Here is her story:

Muriel was born within the sound of Bow Bells at The City Hospital, London, in 1929, which makes her a genuine cockney. She was the first child born to her parents but was joined 2 years and 9 months later when her brother was born. Muriel and her brother were very close growing up and that continued throughout their lives until he sadly passed away when he was in his 60’s. Evacuated to the countryside The family grew up in the East End of London until war was declared. Like so many families at the time they were separated and along with over 1.5 million other children were evacuated to the countryside where it was felt they would be safe. 9 year old Muriel and her 6 and a half year old brother were sent to Shefford in Bedfordshire. Muriel recalls her mother’s parting words “Don’t you dare let your brother out of your sight!”

They stayed with an elderly couple, who although were pleasant enough, didn’t really want to have children billeted on them but the Government rules at the time stated if you had the space in your home, you had to take evacuees. The children couldn’t settle and within a year they returned to London and back to their parents in time to witness the Battle of Britain. Muriel said she recalls watching the planes fly over East London and the sky light up as the bombs fell and exploded. She doesn’t remember feeling scared, she thinks this was partly because of the calming influence of her parents.

Shortly after returning to London, the family were separated again when their mother took them to live with their grandmother in Northampton to escape the continued bombing London was experiencing. Her Father remained in London throughout the war as he was an ARP Warden. The family remained in Northampton until peace was declared in 1945.

During her school years Muriel was a very able and competent student and was keen to go to university. She said she was awarded a scholarship for being – (in Muriel’s words) “a clever clogs”, but even with that in place, her parents were unable to let her go due to the huge cost involved. It was agreed that Muriel should continue her studies at 6th form as this would be the best way of her getting a good job.

After leaving school at 17, she went to work in a solicitor’s office which was located just off the Strand. She wasn’t particularly keen to work in an office but it allowed her the financial freedom to take time away and travel which was something she enjoyed. Muriel skipped between various office-based roles over the next few years which allowed her the opportunity to travel when she had saved enough money. Farming Camps She enjoyed many trips on what were known as farming camps. Due to the labour shortage after the war, many farms struggled during the harvest period and the “farming camps” were a way to alleviate the lack of farm workers. The pay was very low but the workers were offered board and lodging and the chance to leave post war London. The freedom the countryside offered was a huge draw because these roles suited Muriel and she loved the lifestyle. She also made many friends and recalls those years of her life with great fondness. She told me “I paid to go for one week and ended up staying for 6 months!” She remembers being sent to cut cabbages during the winter which made her decide it was probably time to go back to London as working in the ice and cold wasn’t much fun. Hitch hiking across Europe She struck up a very close friendship with one of the girls she met while working on the farming camps and the pair decided to travel together. It wasn’t long before they bravely embarked on a hitch-hiking adventure across Europe. Their journey began at the Blackwall Tunnel before heading down to Dover, across to Belgium, onto Holland, into Germany and then with the help of a blackmarket racketeer they entered Austria.

This wasn’t the most straightforward leg of their journey, as at the time Austria was divided into four occupation zones and jointly run by the UK, USA, the Soviet Union and France until 1955. The girls were eager to break free from the men who had assisted their entry into Austria and Muriel told them she would go to the British Embassy unless they allowed them to leave. It wasn’t long before they were leaving the Soviet Zone under cover of darkness. They faced a very perilous journey and just before they left, found themselves lying in the mud while Russian soldiers marched past just feet away from them. Muriel said if they had been discovered they would have been thrown into prison because of their illegal entry into the country, so they kept their heads down and waited for the soldiers to pass before making a hasty escape. They were relieved finally to leave the Soviet controlled zone and be in the British zone and safety. The girls’ trip continued into Italy which was much less hairy than the last stopover and Muriel said one of the highlights was riding pillion on a motorbike across the Dolomites, staying in youth hostels along the way before travelling over to the beautiful island of Capri. After the Italian adventure, the girls headed to Switzerland where they stayed for 3 nights with a Nurse before heading into France. The trip gave Muriel some wonderful memories but without an income and her savings dwindling, she had no choice but to return home and go back to earning a living. “Meet me at the pub” The next job saw Muriel demonstrating the new kitchen must have – a dishwashing machine! She demonstrated the machine to thousands of potential customers at the Ideal Home Exhibition. The company was owned by an Australian Millionaire and Muriel soon found herself becoming very friendly with his wife. She recalls her messages “Meet me at the pub”…….. the pub in question was not really a pub at all, but the Ritz!!

Muriel apple picking on a farming camp

West End high life During this time Muriel saw herself enjoying all that London had to offer, the bars, clubs and nightlife of the West End were a regular haunt and she especially enjoyed the newly opened “Ronnie Scott’s” Jazz club. The musicians of the time, Ray Ellington and Jack Parnell were firm favourites. Red Coat Around this time Muriel also found the time to work a summer season as a Butlins Red Coat secretary in Ayrshire Scotland. She worked within the entertainment team and remembered organising the various talent shows and beauty pageants. On a rare day off she said they went on a bus trip into Edinburgh to watch the famous Tattoo, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Another string to Muriel’s bow was horse riding which she tried to do as often as she could. She would head to the peace and tranquillity of Epping Forest at weekends where she spent many happy hours at the stables.

The horse pictured below was particularly strong and often naughty, but Muriel was an accomplished rider and recalls how beautiful she thought he was and how much she enjoyed riding him. While out riding, Muriel had a fall which resulted in an injury to her spine which unfortunately meant she had to give up riding, this was Leicester, where Muriel found work in a publishing company. The couple later moved to a small town just outside Cheltenham called Bishops Cleeve where their son Gary was born in 1965. Unfortunately, Muriel suffered some spinal damage during his birth which has caused her health issues since. The couple separated and Muriel and her son later moved into the centre of Cheltenham where she lived for the next 45 years. Due to ill health, Muriel was unable to work but did have a voluntary position with the WEA – (Workers Education) and was responsible for ensuring education courses in the county ran smoothly. She said she did this for over 5 years and found it very interesting. She was also involved in various other organisations, one of which was as secretary for the local history society. Holiday Fellowship trips Muriel made a large circle of friends in Cheltenham and enjoyed her life there. As she was particularly interested in history, she went on a couple of holidays with her son which were run by the Holiday Fellowship. The pair each found a course they thought sounded interesting and spent a week learning all about their chosen subject. She said she wished she had discovered these holidays sooner and only managed to do them for a couple of years before Gary left home. When Gary went to university, Muriel found more time for holidays with her friends. She discovered that universities opened their student accommodation during the summer months and this gave her the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the UK and to visit some beautiful cities. She continued to have an active social life with her friends and enjoyed the theatre and cinema until her eyesight made it impossible for her to enjoy it in the way she had previously. She said she still went to concerts when she could but she missed the theatre and the cinema enormously.

For the last 10 years of living in Cheltenham, Muriel’s health conditions meant life moved at a much slower pace. It was at this point she felt she would benefit from having the extra help assisted living could offer. This also gave her the opportunity to be closer to her son and his family. She moved into Moorlands Court in September 2019. Thank you so much for your time Muriel, I have thoroughly enjoyed talking to you. If you or a family member are looking for support with care needs, we may be able to help. Our services range from Meals on Wheels, cleaning, personal care and even a sitting service. At Moorlands Court itself properties occasionally become available for assisted living. We will be more than happy to talk over your

Riding at the stables in Epping Forest

something she missed very much. The friends she met at the stables introduced her to another pursuit – sailing. She recalls leaving London on a Friday evening and heading to Maldon to join her friends for a weekend of sailing. She spent the weekend on the water before heading back to London on a Sunday evening and it was during this time that she met her husband. Life in Cheltenham The couple both enjoyed sailing and quickly started courting. They married in 1962 and went to live in

Melbourn Parish Council

Addressing road safety concerns The Parish Council is aware of growing concern for road safety and especially for younger and older ‘nonmotorized users’ – people on foot, cycle and mobility scooter. An area of particular concern is the approach to Melbourn from the A505 along New Road where the speed limit changes from 60mph to 30mph, a key link road to schools and the village centre.

More than 300 new homes and a 75-bed care home make up three new developments at the top of New Road. The existing road layout and traffic calming is now in urgent need of updating. We want to encourage active travel – walking rather than driving – to local schools, shops and the village centre – but we have been contacted by, and spoken to, numerous families with young children who do not feel safe doing so.

The Futures Working Party (made up of parish and district councillors and local residents) in conjunction with County Cllr Susan van de Ven have put a great deal of effort into considering how to deal with this area of concern. There has been good learning from other communities dealing with the same problems.

You may have noticed our new MVAS (Motor Vehicle Activated Sign) recently installed on New Road approaching the village. The unit will not only warn motorists if they exceed the speed limit but will collect other data including volume of traffic. The unit will be moved to different locations around the village to provide an overview of traffic ‘hot spots’.

The Parish Council has now applied for a Local Highway Improvement (LHI) grant and the data gathered will support our application. The purpose of the grant will be to fund additional speed safety measures specifically along New Road and Mortlock Street, up to the High Street junction. Proposed traffic safety measures will be focused around: • Updating traffic calming measures on New Road village approach • Advisory signage at junctions and heavily used cross-roads • A 20mph speed limit along New Road and

Mortlock Street

Buntingford independent opticians enters new era

An independent opticians in Buntingford is celebrating the exciting future of the practice with the announcement of new owners and services.

J Oliver Radley Opticians, on the town’s High Street, has welcomed Nichola Mason, Michelle Doherty and Mark Udobang to the practice as the new owners.

This is following Edel and James Radley’s departure from the practice in early July as they relocated to North Yorkshire.

To mark their arrival at the practice, the new owners are introducing updated services including complimentary hearing checks and out of hours appointments, as well as providing access to new brands and a lower, competitive price structure.

Dispensing optician and co-owner, Michelle Doherty, said: “We’re very proud to be taking on a practice that has established such a renowned reputation in the area and we are looking forward to being part of the next chapter of the practice’s history.

“We are looking to continue what James and Edel started, while providing improvements where we can. Between us we have over 40 years’ experience in independent practice and look forward to sharing our knowledge and expertise with our customers present and new.

“Above all, we want to continue to foster a community spirit and that relationship with the town that is so important to independent businesses and how we operate. The welcome and support we have had so far has been incredible.”

Mark Udobang, optometrist and co-owner added: “We’re coming to the practice with our own values and beliefs, and have already made some positive changes for our customers by reducing many prices.

“We are looking to improve our product ranges and introduce a competitive customer friendly contact lens plan over the next few months.

“We are so excited to meet everyone – please just call in and let us introduce ourselves. We are a really friendly team and would love to say hi to as many of you as possible.”

In conjunction with the LHI bid, we anticipate that the ‘Melbourn Greenway Scheme,’ funded by the Greater Cambridge Partnership and seeking to significantly improve cycle, walking and mobility scooter connections between Royston and Cambridge, will propose a 20 mph speed limit in Melbourn High Street (supported by some physical adaptations), for the purpose of encouraging these travel modes within the village. We don’t expect that the Melbourn Greenway will come into focus for another year or so, at which point there will be a thorough public consultation. The current LHI bid would complement the principles of the Melbourn Greenway scheme.

A10 Awareness Ride and gathering at Phillimore Garden Centre

Thanks to everyone who supported the October 4 for the A10 Awareness Ride. Fifty cyclists, many of them truly quite tiny, cycled from home to Trumpington Park and Ride and on to Phillimore’s for cake and conversation. We anticipate an exciting year ahead when, hopefully, the long-awaited Melbourn Greenway scheme will move ahead. There’s lots of information about this campaign for safe cycling between Royston and Cambridge at www.a10corridorcycle.com.

Flooding We were very concerned to receive two reports of household flooding following the very heavy rainfall this autumn. In both cases, the drains had been thoroughly cleaned out in the spring. We have been working with both households, Highways, which has ordered more drain cleaning, and the County Flood team, which gathers information for preventive action. Visit with Anglian Water With all the concerns around drainage and the impact of heavy rainfall on our foul sewage system, we arranged to meet with Anglian Water to discuss system capacity issues in the area. We brought a long list of questions and learned about efforts to anticipate increasing extreme weather events, such as the rainfall we experienced in July and September.

We also talked about our chalk streams and the recent Parliamentary majority in favour of allowing the dumping of sewage in rivers.

And we got down to the basics for good practice at home - including of course, please don’t flush wipes down the toilet! They get stuck and wreak havoc, whether in home systems or at the pumping station.

Finally, we were asked to remind residents of the phone number to ring with any concerns:

At the beginning of the pandemic, we were all out on our streets once a week to clap for our health workers, in appreciation for the fantastic job they do. Nearly two years on those same health professionals are facing an ever-increasing load.

GP practices are under enormous and unsustainable pressure, like so many aspects of health and social care. Cambs NHS are urging us to support the #BeKind campaign – and write:

“Over the last 18 months our practices adapted at pace, in many cases overnight, to new ways of working and they have continued to work tirelessly to offer online, telephone and face-to-face appointments throughout the pandemic, alongside supporting our Care Homes, patients in the community and delivering the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccination programme.

The demand we are seeing on Primary Care is unprecedented and unsustainable. Demand that is increasing month on month and is expected to continue to increase further as we head into a difficult winter. Recruiting and retaining GPs and other healthcare professionals remains a significant challenge. We now have fewer GPs and healthcare professionals looking after more patients with more complex needs. BMA figures

suggest practices have seen a 22% increase in patients and a 4.5% decrease in full time equivalent GPs since 2015. Understandably many of our highly valued workforce are becoming increasingly demoralised.”

So – a chance to say Thank You to all who work at our GP surgeries! Thakeham – what’s happening In spite of Thakeham’s insistence that it would work within the Greater Cambridge Local Plan structures like everyone else, the Call for Sites stage is now over and Thakeham has not made a submission to South Cambs District Council, which holds statutory responsibility for planning.

The South Cambs District Council Local Plan’s ‘First Proposals’ are structured within basic principles for sustainable development, headlining climate change and water resource.

The Local Plan proposed development area does not include the area earmarked by Thakeham for its 25,000 home new town.

The speculative developer still appears to be banking instead on national channels to override local democratic structures, in advancing its new town aspirations.

‘My Maps’ and public information on public assets

A great deal of public information is available around publicly owned property and demography.

For property, please go the County Council home page and click ‘Maps’ at the top of the home page.www. cambridgeshire.gov.uk

For demographic information, please see Cambridgeshire Insights, and explore the various filters. https://cambridgeshireinsight.org.uk Home adaptations for the elderly We’ve had a couple of calls from residents about this service, including how confusing it can be to locate the right person to talk to. The number to call is 0345 045 5202. Susan is more than happy to be contacted directly with any questions for anything that is unclear. Unfortunately, as with so many public services now, and especially in health and social care, there’s a very long waiting list – about six months. Nevertheless, please, do still get the ball rolling if you have concerns. Oil Club A reminder as we move toward winter that our local bulk buying household heating oil club is still up and running. We work with a local supplier to get best prices on the day. There’s no joining fee and no requirement for repeat orders. An annual rebate is received each year and donated to a community group – this year’s donation went to Home-Start Royston and South Cambs.

Tree planting: Queen’s Canopy This scheme will see thousands of trees planted between now and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next summer. Individuals, schools, businesses, community groups, councils are all being encouraged to plant trees where appropriate to do so.

The County Council’s website includes advice on this, and the national Queen’s Green Canopy website will soon include a map on which residents can mark the trees they have planted as part of the scheme. In Cambridgeshire, the initiative is backed by the LordLieutenant of Cambridgeshire, Julie Spence. The County Council will be identifying some land in its ownership on which to plant trees. • https://queensgreencanopy.org • https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/ climate-change-energyand-environment/improvingthe-natural-environment/trees-andwoodland/ queens-green-canopy-project County Council’s New Shire Hall, Alconbury: To laugh or to cry?

A project of the previous administration, Construction of the ‘New Shire Hall’ building HQ for Cambs County Council is complete, and a phased return to work plan and September committee meetings have taken place there. Based at Alconbury Weald off the A1 toward Peterborough, there are no viable public transport connections from most parts of the county. It remains to be seen whether the impressive cycle parking facilities there will be put to use.

The most surprising feature of New Shire Hall is that it contains no space large enough to hold a meeting of Full Council. Therefore, the County Council is forced to hire a suitable venue for each of its Council meetings.

New Shire Hall stands directly adjacent to the ‘iMET’ vocational training centre, a £10 million project launched in 2018, which has now collapsed and is closed, due to lack of public transport access. Any questions or concerns? Please let us know! We are always available to help with any issues of concern – please feel free to contact us any time. We hold a Zoom Cuppa surgery on Wednesdays from 5-6, so if you’d like to come along do get in touch and we’ll send you the link.
