THE LYMINGE
NEWSLETTER

July 2004

Produced by
The Lyminge Association

It's Your Newsletter, Help us to Make It Better!

I am sure we would all like to thank Sarah Huntley for her hard work over the last year. But she hasn't finished just yet - she has taken on the lions share of putting this issue together so Sarah thanks for the gentle introduction. As for me I am really looking forward to the challenge next month. One of my first tasks will be to find out what you want in the newsletter. I am also looking for more contributors. So, if you have a suggestion or a contribution, please give me a call. In the meantime, we need a volunteer to deliver the newsletter along Mayfield Rd; somebody has to do it, so why not you? Ring bebbie Marsh on 863192.
Thank you. Graham Caldow

CONNECTING COMMUNITIES UPDATE

Your Parish Council continues to lobby Shepway and Kent County Council to secure a connecting footpath between Etchinghill and Lyminge, (the front section outside Broadstreet House). The General Purpose Committee of the Parish Council have received replies from Shepway and Kent County Council. Shepway have made it clear that they have no available funds to pay the £4,000 required for the new footway to link the existing footpaths. KCC Public Rights of Way Area Manager, indicated that after the work has been undertaken across the golf course he was keen to see the missing section completed and was trying to secure funding. He has requested that Lyminge Parish Council partly fund the project, which would help secure the remaining funding.
The GP and full Council agreed that, as this would provide a safer access route and an important link for Etchinghill and Lyminge residents we would contribute £500.00 to the project. We will update you with our progress.

REPAIRS TO ETHELBURGA WELL

The roof of the well has some tile slippage and requires repair immediately. The Parish Council have received 2 quotes for the repair however, under the Councils Financial Regulations we are required to obtain three
quotes if possible. We would therefore
welcome a further quote from a suitably qualified person.
The Parish Council would also welcome details of local companies or self employed individuals to place on our database of repairs and maintenance organisations. Although many of our jobs are of a relatively small nature we would welcome locally based quotes and will contact all listed persons for competitive quotes.
You would also be helping to maintain and improve the area in which you live.
For further details please contact The Clerk To The Council.

LITTER

The Parish Council have purchased a litter bin for Jubilee Field, we would request that this facility is used or that you take your litter home to dispose of it. Your Parish Councillors were left with the choice of siting a bin here on the condition that we emptied the bin ourselves or not providing the facility. We are pleased to say that Councillors have volunteered to empty the bin.
It is worthwhile noting that volunteers and not Shepway Council empty the vast majority of litterbins within the Parish. The litterbins on Tayne Field have recently had domestic and mechanical waste placed in them, please refrain from using these bins incorrectly.

THANKS
Many thanks for all the presents, cards and messages of good luck I received on my retirement from the library. They were all very much appreciated. I am also saying goodbye as Tom and myself are moving to a village just outside Peterborough to be nearer the family. We lived in the area for 20 years before moving to Lyminge so know it well.
I shall certainly miss the daily contact with what are surely the friendliest villagers in Kent. Very best wishes to you all. Janet Turner

GARDEN TIPS
At one time it was advised not to feed birds in summer and particularly when fledglings were about. However, research has shown adult birds can discern what and what not to feed their babies, so current advice is to feed birds the year round if you wish to do so. When grass cutting in hot, dry, weather, raise the blades on the mower to avoid scalping the lawn and leave the grass box off. The cuttings will help protect the grass from drying out so quickly. Any grass cuttings collected should be layered in the composter with other garden refuse to prevent them turning into a slimy mess. Fill any gaps in the border by standing plants in pots in the spaces
