LPG BUYING SCHEME OFFER FROM FLOGAS

Please  click HERE to see the offer from Flogas to Minstead Parish and local Areas which may be of interest to those who use LPG.

RAGWORT

As posted on Facebook recently, it’s that time of year again!  As last year there does not seem to be much ragwort around but as we all know it is still extremely harmful to animals if eaten so we encourage everybody to pull up/dig up any you find in your neighbourhood and dispose of it by burning or in your black bag.

Do be careful to wear protective gloves and hi-vis jackets if you are out on the road.

This photo of ragwort was taken in South Island New Zealand where it is believed to have been introduced by some well meaning Victorians either by accident or even on purpose – so it travels well and can get anywhere!

AN IMPORTANT DATE FOR YOUR DIARY

Don’t forget the Village Fete which will be held on the Village Green on Saturday 10^th August!

Please keep the date free and support it as best you can….all proceeds will be shared between the Church Tower Fund and the Community Shop Project.

For all offers of help, either for setting up, running a stall or taking down please contact Steve Cattell on 07732306406 email steve_cattell@hotmail.com.

A31 MINSTEAD CATTLE GRID IMPROVEMENTS

For the avoidance of any confusion, Kier Highways’ work to bring the current cattle grid located off the A31 up to current specification is now expected to start on Monday 8th July (not 1^st July) and will take place over 5 days. 

AND YET MORE ROADWORKS – A31 CLOSURE

Kier Highways will be resurfacing a section of the A31 westbound carriageway on the approach to the Picket Post junction, to ensure the network remains in a safe condition. The works are scheduled to start on Monday 8th July 2019 and should be completed by Wednesday 24th July 2019. For the safety of the workforce and users (otherwise known as customers) they will be closing the A31 westbound carriageway from junction 2 of the M27 to Poulner Hill (Ringwood) overnight between 9pm and 6am (Monday to Friday only). During the closures a signed diversion will be in place from junction 2, north on the A36 to Salisbury, then south on the A338 to join the A31 at the Ringwood Interchange. To minimise disruption to users, they will also be carrying out a second scheme within the road closure to renew road markings on the A31 westbound carriageway.

In addition to the westbound closures, Kier Highways will also be closing the A31 eastbound carriageway from the A338 Ringwood Interchange to junction 2 of the M27 to allow for road markings to be renewed on the A31 eastbound carriageway. These works are scheduled to take place overnight on Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd July 2019. Access will be maintained for emergency services vehicles on blue light calls; and for those residents or businesses located within the closure extents. All drivers will also need to adhere to the site speed limits of 10mph and 5mph when passing plant and/or our workforce.

HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CONSULTATION – BALANCING THE BUDGET

HCC is asking for residents’ and stakeholders’ views on ways to balance its budget in response to growing demands on council services and continuing pressures on local government funding.

By April 2021 the County Council will be facing an anticipated budget shortfall of £80 million.  With less money available and growing demand for council services decisions will need to be made about what it can and cannot provide in the future.

The County Council would like to hear your views on the following options for balancing its budget as well as any alternatives you may wish to propose:

• introducing and increasing charges for some services
• encouraging central Government to make legislative changes
• generating additional income
• continuing to use the County Council’s reserves prudently
• reducing and changing services
• increasing Council Tax
• changing local government arrangements in Hampshire

To find out more and complete the consultation on line visit

https://www.hants.gov.uk/balancingthebudget

You can also request an information pack and response form in Braille, audio or large print by emailing insight@hants.gov.uk or ringing 0300 555 1375.

HIT AND RUN IN LYNDHURST

Were you in Lyndhurst on Thursday 30th May 2019 between 12.30 and 13:00 and did you witness a hit and run incident at the exit to the public car park (ie between Pages and the Lyndhurst Working Mens Club)? A man from Minstead was hit by a car that failed to stop when leaving the car park, at the junction with the High Street, he went onto the bonnet and the car drove off without stopping. It was a small car, possibly a Mini in a light colour and may have a visible scratch on the bonnet.

If you saw anything please let us know at minsteadpc@gmail.com and/or contact the Police on 101 or visit the Hampshire Police website by clicking  HERE.

2019 IS THE 70^TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL PARKS

It’s 70 years since the 1949 Act of Parliament that established the family of National Parks in England and Wales. Known as Britain’s breathing spaces, national parks are areas of spectacular landscape which are given the highest level of protection so that everyone can visit and enjoy them.

To celebrate the anniversary there is a nationwide Year of Green Action – a year-long drive to get more people from all backgrounds involved in projects to improve the natural world.

Throughout 2019 there will be events and activities across the New Forest aiming to help people connect, protect and enhance nature.

Click HERE and Year of Green Action to find out more.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE CAMPAIGN

As many will know, New Forest organisations are calling on visitors and residents to keep their distance from the National Park’s free-roaming animals.  The animals’ owners and local organisations have come together to issue the call as concerns mount that people are putting themselves and the animals at risk by getting too close.  Click HERE to find out more and please spread the word to friends, relations and others you know who are visiting the New Forest and do not necessarily have as good an understanding of commoning and livestock as those who live here.

NEW FOREST FILM FESTIVAL 8-16 JUNE

The New Forest Film Festival is fast approaching – and there are lots of events being held across the New Forest to celebrate! From drive-in movies to quizzes, there’s something for everyone.  There are 15 community cinemas around the New Forest as well as various venues all hosting film related events. Visit https://newforestfilmfestival.com/ for further information and click HERE for details of the various events.

D-DAY AND THE CANADIAN MEMORIAL AT MOGSHADE HILL

Amongst the many other D-day 75^th anniversary celebrations was a Remembrance and Rededication Service at the Canadian Memirial at Mogshade Hill on Wednesday 5^th June.  A cross was erected here on 14^th April 1944 by men of the 3^rd Canadian Division of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps who were stationed in the area during the build up to D-day.

The original two pine logs that were bolted together to form the Cross were replaced with New Forest oak in 1949 held together with the original bolt.  The Cross has since been replaced again using local oak and the original bolt.

On the Sunday nearest 6^th June every year the New Forest Fellowship of Services holds a remembrance service at the Memorial so that future generations do not forget the Canadian presence in Hampshire in 1944.

BEAT REPORT AND SURGERY

Click HERE to read the Beat Report for our area for May.

It’s full of interesting stuff, as usual – many thanks to our Neighbourhood Policing Team for putting it all together and getting it to us so promptly!

Richard Williams’ SCAM BUSTING talks will continue in June, so if you would like some advice on how best to beat the scammers and stop yourself from becoming of victim of this type of crime, email him and he’ll arrange a visit. Or if you are a member of a group that meets regularly and are happy for him to use up ten minutes of your time let him know and he’ll come to your next session. He has already visited the Bramshaw WI and the film club, the Lyndhurst and Winsor Neighbourhood Watch groups, as well as individuals in Ashurst, Copythorne, Bartley and Brockenhurst.

His email address is richard.williams@hampshire.pnn.police.uk

Please note that the next Beat Surgery will be in the Trusty at 4pm on Saturday 15^th June.
