Dog Fouling – can you help………………………?

by

Bluntisham Parish Council are keen to help keep our footpaths and grass areas clear and free of dog mess, however, we can’t do this alone.
We are looking for 4 volunteers who regularly walk the village footpaths, who would be willing to pick up any mess, spray the area with water based fluorescent paint, and log the date, time and location of the mess.  This information will then be logged on a map and shared.  Other villages have found this approach to be very successful and Huntingdonshire District Council Dog Warden supports this idea.
If you are willing to help then please contact Mrs Philippa Hope, and collect your can of paint.
The painting can begin as soon as possible and we are hopeful that the scheme will be a success.  We will report the success and hot spot areas asap.

Cambridgeshire & the Fens – History Talks

by

From Mike Petty who writes and talks about the history of Cambridgeshire and the fens:

As you may already know, as part of the OWLPS project I am offering three free talks to communities alongside the Ouse Washes and Old and New Bedford Rivers

They are funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the Ouse Washes Community Landscape Partnership Scheme based at Acre, Ely.

The first is on the history of the Rivers, the third on the people and places alongside the river and the second is how we can discover information about our communities through museums, libraries, archives and – particularly – our computers

These hour-long presentations are illustrated by old pictures and are completely free to any group who cares to set up a venue.

If you would like one (or two or three) please contact me – first come, first booked.
