Alan Eade

The Parish Council was saddened to hear that Alan Eade, Parish Councillor for 25 years until he stepped down in 2012, has passed away.

Alan was well known in the village, a founder member of the Village Society in 1979 and being involved in many local renovation projects – including the pump on The Green, the School Hill “Jubilee” seat, the Histon Giant’s grave and most recently the agricultural pump renovation at the Recreation Ground.

He had a passionate interest in village planning and the preservation of the best of our surrounding environment.

Many will have seen examples of Alan’s marvellous artist skills.  For examples, take a look at the Network Book cover showing his interpretations of many local scenes in Histon and Impington.

Alan had just reached the milestone age of 90 and, indeed, was able to enjoy a celebration with family and friends only the weekend before he passed away.

The Council joins in sending heartfelt condolences to his widow Inger and his family at this very sad time.  He has left a true legacy to us all.

September Full Council

Full Council was held on Monday 17 September, with just one member of the public present to listen to the debate.  For draft minutes look here.   Items of note:

Neighbourhood Plan

The Council agreed to support the Neighbourhood Plan Group in taking the plan forward and embarking on the “regulation 14 consultation” starting on the 1st October, for 6 weeks

For more information on the plan, visit www.hiplan.net

Council Maintenance Vehicle

After several months without a vehicle due to electrical issues, the Council has purchased a second, petrol, version for use by its staff out and about in the villages.   Substantial savings can be made where the Parish Council is able to carry out its own maintenance and repair jobs and these 3 wheel vehicles are ideal for accessing all the Council’s various pockets of land and areas such as overgrown passageways.

The next scheduled meeting of Full Council will be held on Monday 15th October at the Recreation Community Room, New Road, Impington.  Refreshments are available from 7 p.m.

We are hoping to be joined by the Mental Wellbeing worker who will update us on her work in the villages

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Management Plan

Members reviewed a working document produced following a series of workshops in the first half of 2018.  The plan was adopted and work will now commence on costing the projects and management plans in order to form a 5 year plan to take them forward.  The Committee has plans to share some of these ideas with residents at the Feast Market on 7 July
