How do residents wish to see Bassingham develop?Bassingham Neighbourhood Plan

A Bassingham Neighbourhood Plan Development Group (BNPDG) has been established to develop the Neighbourhood Plan for the village. The Plan will form part of the planning framework for the District and is an important vehicle for ensuring that the interests and wishes of the community are clearly established.

A Neighbourhood Plan is a community-led framework for guiding the future development, regeneration and conservation of an area and is primarily about the use and development of land. Drawing from residents’ consultation and feedback the Plan will set the foundations for informed decision making at local levels. It will also contribute positively to the What will this view look like in future?

wider perspective of appropriate and proportionate growth and enhanced living standards to ensure that the village retains its sustainability, character and appeal well into the future. The activities of the Working Group are publically funded with support provided by the ‘Supporting Communities in Neighbourhood Planning Programme’ led by Locality in association with RTPI/Planning Aid England and partners, available through the ‘My Community Rights’ website. Provided it is successful at referendum, which must be held before a plan is adopted, the Neighbourhood Plan will be part of the statutory development planning for the Village. This statutory status gives Neighbourhood Plans far more weight than some other local documents, such as parish and community led plans. However, we will be taking account of recommendations and outcomes of the Bassingham Community Lead Plan, to be published shortly, where they are relevant. The designated area which the Plan will cover is land which is within the

Bassingham Parish Boundary. The work of the BNPDG will be governed by a Constitution, Vision Statement, and Aims and Objectives. The draft Vision is “To create a strong and thriving community where our history and heritage are celebrated, our rural setting and character are preserved and enhanced for residents.”

The Aims and Objectives will focus on 4 key areas: Managed DevelopmentImproved Transport and CommunicationStrong sustainable infrastructureCommunity involvement and facilities

The Vision Statement and Aims and Objectives will form part of the Community Consultations which will be held to ensure that residents’ views are taken into account. These, together with the Constitution and an Action Plan will be posted on the Bassingham Parish Council website [http://parishes.lincolnshire.gov.uk/Bassingham/] when they have been approved so you can see what we are about

and monitor our progress. As the Plan develops there will be plenty of information made available through the Bassingham Parish Council Website, noticeboards, events and other publicity. If you have any questions about the plan or the work of the BNPDG please email [email protected]

Witham St Hughs Allotments

Witham St Hughs Village HallWitham St Hughs Parish Council has changed the management of the Village Hall with effect from the 1st January this year. The Village Hall Management Committee, which ran the hall as a Parish Council Committee, has been replaced with an Events Committee made up of volunteers with an interest in providing major events for the village. This committee is independent of the Parish Council and will concentrate on providing events such as a Summer Fete in July, an Octoberfest, the village fireworks display and various Christmas and New Year events. Details will be published by the committee as soon as dates are fixed and details settled. The village hall day to day management and the bookings’ system have been taken over by Cllr John Phillipson. The booking system remains the same and anyone wishing to book the hall should contact John on [email protected] or by phone on 07709 126327 or 07501 632119. The preferred method is by email and a reply should be received within three days. Because of the

It is a great way to meet people in the village so if you are new to the area come along and find out more about what is happening in your community. We try and keep Saturday and Sundays for big events or for larger private parties.

Find your car sharing matchCar drivers are being encouraged to car share to and from work throughout February, to avoid traffic in Lincoln city centre. With improvement works taking place, and to cut rush hour congestion, the Access LN6 team at Lincolnshire County Council is encouraging commuters to share their car journey with colleagues, neighbours or friends who are travelling in a similar direction. Gary Toward car shares with a colleague from Witham St Hughs. He said: “We started car sharing last year and have become good friends; it was nice to know the person before car sharing so I would recommend sharing with a colleague or neighbour if you’ve never shared before. “We don’t have to car share every day and work it around our jobs and social life, but when we do car share, we’re constantly saving money.” Throughout February, anyone who registers on the LN6 Car Share website will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 voucher for a restaurant of their choice. Councillor Richard Davies, Executive Councillor for Highways and Transportation at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “For many people, walking or cycling to work isn’t a viable option – either due to convenience, distance or other reasons. Car sharing therefore is a great alternative – not only can it save you money; it can help to reduce congestion and supports a cleaner environment.” To see if anyone is travelling in a similar direction to you, visit www.ln6carshare.co.uk.

Evening all, Sgt Hammond here with a review of the incidents since last I wrote to you all. Rural crime is a big feature of this review, in particular Skellingthorpe and the surrounding villages. There has been only one report of heating oil theft from Hives Lane in North Scarle, however the incidents of theft from shed, garage, and vehicles has increased. We have intelligence that suggests who may be responsible, and this is forming part of the investigation, but I need you to remain ever alert, and continue to ensure that your outbuildings, and cars remain locked, with valuables kept out of sight please. NORTH SCARLE – Trailer stolen from Spalford Lane, tools taken from a workshop on Eagle Road; EAGLE – Theft from a shed on Thorpe Lane, a pushbike stolen from the High Street, and a van broken into on the High Street; BRANT BROUGHTON – Bike taken from a shed on Welbourne Lane ; BECKINGHAM – A wallet taken from a car on Sleaford Road; SKELLINGTHORPE – Garage broken into on Lincoln Road and St Clement Road, shed broken into on Waterloo Lane, and a van broken into on Beaver Close.

In North Hykeham Town there have been three bikes stolen from North Kesteven Sports Centre, and a catalytic convertor taken from a Ford Galaxy on Newark Road. That’s it, I wish you all a Happy New Year, and will leave you with the teams contact details.

We are enjoying another exciting term at Witham St. Hughs Academy and wanted to share our topic learning with you. Each year group within the school has been exploring a new theme.Exploration in the Foundation StageMrs Rocks’ and Miss Easey’s class have been excited to learn about Pirates and take part in an experience day. The children came into school dressed as pirates and explored role play games and pirate stories.We Are What We Eat in Key Stage OneIn this new and exciting topic we have been learning about food and staying healthy. The children participated in a school trip to a co-op farm. They looked at crops and made their own pizzas using food from the farm. The children have also explored how diets have changed through time, looking at rationing in World War Two. In Design and Technology, we designed suitable food packaging for a salad and then prepared a salad box for dinner.Active Planet in Lower Key Stage TwoThe new topic, Active Planet, has proved to

be extremely popular amongst the pupils in Year 3 and 4. The children have learnt all about natural disasters, such as; volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. The children started the topic with a disaster relief centre challenge: they planned and organised what they would do if there was an earthquake in Witham St. Hughs!Space Explorers in Upper Key Stage TwoThis term the year 5 and 6 children have started their new Space Explorers topic. The children have collected together questions, about what they would like to learn about space and are currently researching the topic. The theme has been extended to their Literacy topic, and the pupils have been reading and writing science fiction stories.

We would like to say a special thank you to the school’s Eco Committee. Before Christmas the team decided that they wanted to create a re-cycling point for old Christmas cards. We’ve had a great response and hundreds of cards were brought in by the pupils of Witham St. Hughs Academy. The team are currently meeting weekly to transform the cards into gift tags and plan to sell these at the next Christmas Fair in order to raise money for Eco-projects within the school.

Our school took part in Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 12th December in aid of Save the Children and we raised £114.07 for this worthy charity. All of our children were invited to wear non-uniform, including a Christmas jumper if they had one, to school in exchange for a small donation to Save The Children. Here are some of our photographs that were taken on the day.

On Monday 15th December 2014, the South Hykeham Community Primary School Choir performed at the Lincolnshire Cooperative Christmas Carol Concert at Lincoln

South HYkeham Primary School

Cathedral in front of approximately 1,000 people!

We sang Christmas songs that we learnt over the months of November and December. Some of the songs we sang were: Gaudete (which is a Latin song), Little Boy in Bethlehem (a song created by the conductor), I Saw Three Ships and many more. We all enjoyed this and it was an amazing and big experience! We were so lucky to get this opportunity and thank you to all the parents and family that came to watch us.

Elixir had a mystery shopper visit the showroom, who was so impressed with the service that the firm made it all the way to the final and came second, quite an achievement throughout the whole country. “We are now celebrating 15 years in business and we believe it’s because we still have passion for our products and the industry. “We have top quality products and high end suppliers which offer service, backup and spares all with good guarantees and offices throughout the UK. We think Lincolnshire people love the fact that we are still a small, independent company who can offer that personal touch,” said Phil.

If I had a pound for every customer that has wished we do kitchens.” “But we only sell bathrooms and we do it well.

Word Grid

Each number in the grid on the left corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, and as in a crossword each horizontal or vertical line of white spaces should make a word. To start off we have given you 3 letters and their corresponding numbers, fill them in to the grid and see if you can work out what the other letters are. Hint: It helps to fill each new letter you have discovered underneath its corresponding number in the table below.
