Almshouses' future use

A parishioner has enquired about whether the Hartwell almshouses, currently for sale could be a put to a community use rather than simply sold as a  private house. I have replied:

"The Hartwell Charity (of which I am a trustee) must ensure that the highest price is achieved so that it can be ploughed into future, fit for purpose homes for older people in Cranfield.  I would love to see a more community-oriented use but any consortium would need a real prospect of money and a good business plan to make that happen, and fairly soon."

The cycle of life

The summer still has a few weeks left in the tank and Cranfield is a great place to get out and about on the bike.  

Some people just think road cycling is dangerous, full stop. It doesn't have to be if you follow some common sense guidelines and build your confidence. Check out Central Beds Council's Bikeability courses for a good start.



Big visitor

You catch the Lancaster over Cranfield yesterday?

It's hoarse, throaty engine gave me an early heads up before it did a low pass over Broad Green.  The ops room in Springfield Way reported that a WAAF officer in Salford detected the craft and flashed an alert through.

Official report states: "The BBMF Hurricane followed it a bit later - They were heading to Little Gransden over in Cambs for the display in which the Vulcan was putting in an appearance at some point."


I did keep an eye out for the Hurricane but nothing.

Where does the green belt go now?

Check out the latest on green belt housing construction in the  The Daily Telegraph 

It cites research based on council documents by the  The Campaign for the Protection of Rural England and says there are plans for more than 150,000 homes on protected land.


The sites include  scenic areas, in Dorset and near York. In addition, over 1,000 acres coiuld eb affected by office development, warehouses and the HS2 rail link, according to the CPRE.
 

The increase comes apparently after Communities Secretary Eric Pickles diluted the protection given to the green belt and introduced a “presumption in favour of sustainable development”. 


In Cranfield, of course, we went one better and actually approved building on a plain old "green field" site (Home Farm) when there was a brownfield site (disused runway)  just 100 metres away.

What do the police do for you?

This message from Police commissioner Olly Martins is basically about closing police stations and whatever you put down its forced on Beds Police by government cut backs. 


The recently announced Government funding cuts mean that Bedfordshire Police has to make savings of £7.5m - on top of the £15m already taken out of the budget since 2010.
With officers and staff already working at maximum efficiency I need to look at new ways in which I can find further savings.

Currently, police buildings in Bedfordshire cost £3m annually to run and maintain. Many are outdated and in need of refurbishment and are no longer in the best position to serve the public. Others are under-used and are consuming vast sums of money which could be better spent on protecting front line officers or PCSOs.  

Meanwhile, technology and different methods of communicating mean that people often contact the police without visiting a police station and I am keen to establish how people prefer to contact the police in a non-emergency situation before I make any decisions on the future of police stations and contact points.

That’s why I am asking you for your views.  They will help me shape my plans to improve accessibility to the police in non-emergency situations, while making savings that will keep as many police officers and PCSOs as possible on our streets.

Please tell me what you think by taking part in my survey.  It will take approximately 10 minutes and can be reached by  visiting my website at http://www.bedfordshire.pcc.police.uk/police-stations-survey/

The survey will run until 1 October 2013 and I intend to make the responses public as soon as possible after that point.  The final report will be placed on my website and my decisions will be publicised widely.  If you wish to be alerted to the publication of the report, or would like to be informed of my decisions directly, please let my office know by emailing pcc@bedfordshire.pnn.police.uk or telephoning 01234 842066.

I am also aware that some people may need the survey in alternative formats or languages, and every effort will be made to accommodate this as efficiently as possible.  Again, please contact my office with any such requests.

Thank you for getting involved and having your say about local policing.

Olly Martins
Police and Crime Commissioner.



Bandit country

The blog takes note of conditions and developments beyond the bounds of Cranfield and one intrepid rambler reports the following baffling obstruction in darkest North Crawley.



I'd never seen one like this before, with a formidable sliding bar lock but also in an apparently locked state with a red-painted  padlock held in an armoured receptacle . How could this be on a public footpath? This is of course, just over the border in Bandit Country. MKC's Rights of Way web pages are not a patch on what we have in CBC. Not even a contact email address could be found nor a reporting form. Instead I contacted the MK branch of the Ramblers who were incredibly helpful & seem to be able to exert pressure on the MKC RoW team under some sort of "special relationship".

To cut a long story short, turns out that this is actually a disabled access gate, would you believe? - the red padlock is a "RADAR" lock for which disabled users can get a common key. This begs the question, how is anyone in a wheelchair or a mobility scooter ever going to get to this location & in any case how would it be safe for them to do so? To get to this spot from the Cranfield direction would have required something with tracks or a 4-wheel drive! When you encounter kissing gates like this, you can be sure that livestock is on the other side & it was in this case, an additional hazard for a potential disabled "rambler". If we had looked more closely (your attention is unduly drawn by the bar lock & red padlock), we would have found that there was a little catch on the other side, which would have released the gate & allowed us to proceed onwards instead of back-tracking!

Eventually MKC RoW admitted that the real reason it was here (and at some other locations in their area), was because it is easier to put one of these mobility-designed gates in locations with a large gap because they are wider & of course fill the gap. That way, they don't have to mess around with adjusting fencing.  They had a job-lot in stock but they aren't cheap - you are looking at a few hundred smackers + installation.  The gate comes with the RADAR lock as standard but there is nothing to inform the uninitiated of it's significance, which they are looking into.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Particularly if you want to get to North Crawley before sundown (or closing time)...


Next PC meetings


Next Parish Council meeting – committees 4 September and full council 18 September. Both at Holywell school at 8 pm (time to be confirmed)

Traffic nightmare


Cranfield Parish Council recently gave a strong “No” to plans to put 135 houses behind Flitt Leys Close on a site that will also have a school with a future health centre nearby. 
 It has stated that it is not opposed to housing (at Central Motors) per se, but to the inadequate access from the High Street and it believes the proposal is storing up problems by using an existing road, which is already under pressure.
Parish Council chair Mrs Delise Ball said: 

“The housing development itself is on a site agreed by the Parish Council. But we have never had a proper explanation how a school site was added.
“Flitt Leys already struggles to cope with traffic. If you add in a twice-daily school run, school buses and health centre use it promises to be a nightmare.
‘No real effective solution has been found for our present problems and the additional pressures on an already overstretched access are short-sighted and frankly ridiculous.”

The council is also objecting because of “adverse impact” on Flitt Leys Close residents and a lack of progress on a Central Beds Council pledge to tackle existing traffic congestion in the cul de sac.
It says the proposal inaccurately refers to Flitt Leys Close providing  "adequate access" and it believes a Central Beds Council aspiration to encourage future residents to walk, cycle and car share is "highly unlikely".
Other objections include poor information - The planning documents refer to the health centre being both lapsed and going ahead - added pressure on parking from the health centre and inadequate parking per house because of the optimistic assumption that garages will be used for parking. 
The council says there is no evidence how a school bus will access the school or alternatively drop children off safely without entering Flitt Leys. And there are concerns about access for fire service vehicles.
Designated play areas have not been concentrated as requested and the proposed 'swale' or balancing lake provides no information for its maintenance or safety.
Planning and highways officials have repeatedly told Central Beds councillors that the access is adequate, even if a school and health centre are built.
The Parish Council made a determined attempt to have the design brief, which gave a school site the green light overturned earlier this year.
The local development framework (LDF) allocated housing in Central Bedfordshire long-term. The school site was added in at the very end of the LDF process after the parish council had supported 135 houses.
Parish Council reps will be meeting senior Central Beds councillors and planning  officials next week to seek an explanation how the school was allocated to the site without local discussion.

Why not us?

The citizens of Orchard Way are in  revolt...Highways honchos should tremble.

This is in the latest CBC customer service bulletin:


The roads after the severe winter are so dangerous for cyclists especially in the dark.  Not only do potholes damage cars when they hit one but also cyclists are at risk of being thrown from their saddles when the jolt of hitting one causes this to happen.

The attached photos show typical potholes in Orchard Way Cranfield, a side street which is an utter mess.        


Not only are there potholes as shown in the image but patches here, patches there, and likewise the pavements are uneven with all sorts of patches. I have been told that a letter was sent about 5 years ago by another resident and nothing at all has been done about the pavements since then.  However,  Mill Road has had both pavements resurfaced.  We the residents of Orchard Way are being neglected.  At one stage the close off Orchard Way, namely Orchard Close was resurfaced.  Likewise other roads in Cranfield have been resurfaced, but Orchard way..... No!

Chillier

From Twitter


7h
With a high of just 19C, today (Aug 13th) was the coolest day for exactly six weeks (Bedford).


Almost woolly weather...


Do you park your car in your garage?

The answer is "No" for  most people for reasons which the above photo illustrate. It's not the blog's garage, by the way, though you aren't getting a car in ours either. However, here is some interesting technical data from a reader which again raises a question whether planners are up to speed on the size of modern vehicles. 


Houses with older garages might have been built when the average car was Mini or A30 sized (and) there are physical limitations to being able to put modern cars in such garages.
I'm not sure if there is a British Standard Garage but its bound to be smaller than the US equivalent. No doubt new build houses will have the smallest garage size & door that they think they can get away with.

Typically garage door widths were 7' wide though 6' 10" was possible. Today max width in a single garage door is 8' – 2,438mm

Because of improvements in side-impact protection, modern cars have become wider and also have larger wing mirrors to boot. Some "small" cars are in fact over 2m wide. You might just be able to squeeze the car through the opening with care, but unless the garage is well designed with space inside, you might not be able to open the doors sufficiently to get out! (particularly if you are broad in the beam).

"Broad in the beam". I liked that last comment - again, how far are planners allowing for the increase in girth of the average British person in the last 30 years? All the surveys suggest there has been a marked increase in "side protection".

Weedkiller worry

A parishioner writes:

"I was at the vets with my dog which had somehow got poisoned. Had ingested something on the street.  I accosted two chaps next day spraying tufts of grass on the pavements. They were using ROUNDUP but denied it was bad for dogs.. What they can get is much stronger than we can get. Dogs will lick their paws and down it goes. She has recovered although her gut is very delicate now.  Should we be questioning what the Local Authority is doing ? The Vets say Roundup is a killer.  I am warning anyone I meet with a dog to wash it's feet when they get home."

I've asked for PC and CBC usage to be checked and for details of any risk assessment on using roundup. Hope everyone's dogs are are OK.

Bridging the digital divide

Do you ever get back from holidays, put the photos up on facebook and then Gran says "Oh I don't do all that stuff?"

So called digital deprivation (it used to be when your finger froze up in cold snaps) is real and people who do not communicate electronically are missing out enormously. Older people, in particular, who are already in danger of being isolated get even more cut off. They miss the days when you brought round a wallet of holiday snaps. 

Now CBC are experimenting with a scheme to overcome this. Mind, I note a cost of £120 plus a service charge, after an initial free experimental period. That's a blow. There is also a deadline for registering of this Friday. For more information and to register to be involved, get in touch call Lorna Walker on 0300 300 5047 or email lorna.walker@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk.

It's called MINDINGS and CBC says:


We are reaching out to our older residents to see if they would like to take part in a study to see if a new piece of technology, called ‘Mindings’ can help them have a better quality of life and help reduce loneliness.

Mindings is a really easy to use service that lets friends and family send photos, text messages, reminders, calendar invites, Facebook messages and much more, to a digital photo frame. It’s so simple but allows older people to have meaningful contact with their loved ones, even if they live on the other side of the world.

Glen Johnson, who lives in a Sheltered Housing Schemes in Leighton Buzzard, is involved in the study. She’s been using Mindings for a couple of weeks says:

"It’s a nice way of keeping in touch with my family, I love seeing the photos they send me. It’s lovely in the morning to walk into my lounge and see some new pictures of my grandchildren and great grandchildren – it really cheers me up. They think it’s brilliant too!

"I’m not really one for computers but this is different, it’s so easy to use. There’s nothing to it, you just press a button and you’re away."

Getting involved in the study couldn’t be easier. We are looking for volunteers to use the service for two months and tell us about your experiences. We will install the device and show you and your family how to use it. You’ll need an internet connection, but we’ll provide this if you don’t already have one. We will contact you at the beginning, again after a month and then at the end, to find out what you think. At the end of the study, you’ll have to return the Mindings equipment or if you’ve enjoyed using it, you’ll be able to purchase it - prices start at around £120 for a compatible tablet, plus a monthly service charge.

To get involved you need to be:

  • Be at least 70 years of age.
  • Be willing to sign a simple consent form. 
  • Have lived in your current home for more than six months.
  • Live alone or feel lonely and socially isolated
  • Have family or friends who you see less than once a fortnight.
  • Have friends and family who can send you regular updates, photos, messages and reminders depending on how you want to use Mindings.
  • Be willing to share your experiences of Mindings with our Research Team.

For more information and to register to be involved, get in touch call Lorna Walker on 0300 300 5047 or email lorna.walker@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk. The deadline for registering your interest is 16 August.

Speed limit on Moulsoe Road

Speeding worries have been around in Cranfield I'm sure ever since the first horseless carriage lumbered up Marston Hill and parped around the High Street. And as cars got faster the local road layout was perfect for the petrol heads - long straight stretches saying "Burn me up". College Road, Crawley Road, Mill Road and the High Street, in the village itself, have all attracted the wrong type of driver. Moulsoe Road before the Nissan Roundabout in the early 1990s was particularly inviting. 

It still is. 

Therefore I, personally,  welcome the proposal for a 50 mph limit in the notice from CBC below. There is supposed to be extra information and plans on the link http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/public-statutory-notices/public-statutory-notices.aspx but there is nothing up there at the moment. The letter received by the PC has 15 August as a date so it might be worth looking then.

Excitement hope for Boring, Oregon, and Dull, Perthshire

Do you reckon life in Cranfield can be a bit on the slow side? At least we don't have to cope with our name.


Dull and Boring road sign  
 

From the BBC News from Scotland
 
A county in Oregon has proclaimed 9 August as Boring and Dull Day "in perpetuity".
The proclamation honours the pairing of the town of Boring in Oregon and the village of Dull, Perthshire.
Local officials have spoken of their excitement over planned events, including a piper playing and a barbershop quartet singing.
Dull residents have been reported as being appreciative that the link has encouraged Boring visitors.
The pairing of the two communities took place in June 2012, after Perthshire resident Elizabeth Leighton passed through Boring while on a cycling holiday.
 
 
Steven Bates, chairman of the Boring Community Planning Organization, said: "On behalf of Boring and Dull, I am grateful to Clackamas County for entertaining this proclamation.
"Boring and Dull Day, as well as the official recognition that Dull and Boring are 'a pair for the ages,' should definitely encourage tourism and excitement for the communities."
A sign erected in Dull marks its association with Boring.


Swan Lake

That's not the ballet but Cranfield's own village flood, outside the Swan. Which has made a reappearance thanks to recent deluges. This has been going on since the traffic calming went in last autumn and we seem to be no nearer a resolution. More chasing by the PC needed and more inquiries by ward councillors

Firkins into half pint pots

MPs get long holidays and frankly I don't care how hard they work during "term time". It seems like a good deal. Parish councillors take one month off in August but the work doesn't stop. And sometimes the meetings don't stop. 

So, we found ourselves in a meeting of the planning committee  (advertised seven days in advance, I might add) at the Methodist Church, to discuss the Central Motors planning application. As blog readers and longer term residents will know this is all about getting firkins into half pint pots and, not surprisingly we're agin it. In other words, it's not the long term allocation of 135 houses on the parish council's preferred location (though not mine) but an access which uses an existing crowded cul de sac and will also accommodate a new school and health centre. Plus parking for Blue Indiya (sic) Cranfield Fish and Chips and Cranfield Chinese Takeaway. 


"Do you put your car in your garage?"

The main reasons we are objecting are the adverse impact on existing Flitt Leys Close residents of 135 homes on top of the planned school and health centre and existing hot food takeaways while there has been no progress on a CBC pledge to tackle existing traffic congestion in Flitt Leys Close.

We disputed the proposal's claim that  Flitt Leys Close provided  "adequate access" and its suggestion that bus services are adequate. 

We believe there will be added pressure on parking from the health centre as most health centre parking places will be taken up by staff.
 

And there is sure to be inadequate parking per house because of the planners' wildly optimistic assumption that garages will be used for parking. Do you put your car in your garage?

Put the double yellows on the pavement

I know, I know, I know - tonight. Postman Pat has identified a prime bit of Cranfield footpath as his personal parking space. Time for Cranfield to blaze a trail and put the double yellow lines on the pavement.

Not to mention moneygram placard blocking and obstructing the visually impaired.

The Great Train Robbery

Cranfield old timers (you know who you are)  will remember the sensation of the Great Train Robbery just south of Leighton Buzzard exactly 50 years ago. It was a pretty unpleasant business particularly for the driver but I'm sure the mail workers in the high value van where the banknotes were stored must have been terrified. Somehow the whole event, helped by a newspaper headline has achieved  the status of legend. 

See how Thames Valley Police  marked the anniversary at BBC News and check out the two images of Bridego Bridge at the time of the robbery and today. 

At the time police forces were highly localised and a force like Buckinghamshire would have automatically called in Scotland Yard for such a  high profile crime. Even so, it was all down to luck that the gang was tracked down after an accomplice failed to burn down evidence-stuffed  Leatherslade farm, their hideout after the robbery.

Stay cool - but stay secure as well

Alert from Bedfordshire Police on their Facebook page. It all looks plain common sense  but its amazing how easy it is to forget...  


Bedfordshire Police
During the warm weather we spend more time in the garden. By taking simple precautions, you can reduce your chances of becoming a victim of burglary:
• Make sure you your lock gates when you leave the garden.
• Remove bins from areas where people can climb up and gain access to your property.
• Fit outside security lights and put gates across side passages
• Double check boundaries and fences for weak spots
• Don’t leave windows open at the front of the house while you are in the garden

Drives for rent drives for rent!

Parking is such an issue in Cranfield and what makes it worse is that CBC seems intent on making it worse. How? By stuffing schools and health centres up cul de sacs and suggesting we get round this by parking half on half off the pavement. Excuse me, the pavement is for people. 

Now Eric Pickles, the govt's statutory northern bloke (understudied William Hague at one time) has come up with an even bigger wheeze 'Rentadrive'. So, if the local govt minister's idea is Okayed will we see drives stuffed with tenants along with  parking on the pavement and houses built in back gardens. 

Is there is a grip anywhere and will somebody please get it? 

Full story at BBC News


Eric Pickles backs renting of driveways with guidelines

Driveway of house Renting out a single parking space should not require planning permission

Related Stories

People who rent out their driveways to other motorists are being backed by new government guidelines aimed at tackling parking congestion in busy areas.
The guidance for local authorities in England follows reports that some officials have threatened to levy fines if planning permission is not obtained.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles suggested some councils may be worried about losing income from parking fees.
It comes after he said lifting parking restrictions could boost local shops.

Bus service encouragement

Ive just got this very helpful and encouraging email from Godfrey Willis, chair of  BABUS - the Bedford Area Bus Users' Society about services in the area. There is still some work for the PC to do in patrolling bus stops for outdated or confusing information.

To find out more about BABUS  visit http://www.babus.org.uk/



As the then secretary of Bedford Area Bus Users Society (BABUS) I came and spoke to Cranfield Parish Council some time.

Our last newsletter featured "The Green" at Cranfield University on the front page as "The Cranfield Conundrum" with a plethora of bus stop signs, out of date info, ageing bus shelter etc....................... The next edition is due out shortly so I revisited Cranfield yesterday to see if anything had changed following our further complaints to C.B.C. - alas no! - but I was also going to find out if there was any information about the forthcoming new service by UNO and I picked up a copy of your Cranfield Express and congratulations in giving this innovative service pride of place in your magazine. It is certainly most unusual in this day and age to have an "increase" in bus services rather than the regular round of cut backs and we hope that it will be well used - we certainly are giving details in our next newsletter to which I referred earlier.

Cranfield is almost unique in this area with the clientele of the bus service being "younger and paying cash" rather than pass holders but it does seem to have an element of confusion as to who does what between Parish Council, Local Authority and University authorities - although this may be very plain to you!

There is still a lot of outdated info at bus stops within the village and the Uni - is the PC attempting to tackle this as well as us?

After UNO what about "Souls" and what future for the competing Grant Palmer45 to and from MK - even though it goes a slightly different route?

Again, well done, good luck with the service and it needs to be well advertised!

Flitt Leys in August

Its interesting when a big consultation happens in August. Funny time to have it, when people are on holiday. Persimmon ran its Home Farm consultation in August 2004 and that provoked some comment.

The Parish Council doesn't meet in August - except when it does and this is one those years. The planning application for Central Motors (135 homes) has just come in with a response date by 15 August. As a result we are having a special planning committee meeting next week on 8 August. See below. The huge issue, of course, has been access with Flitt Leys Close earmarked to channel the residential access, a new school and the future health centre. We still have not had a satisfactory resolution to that - or to the current nightmare of trying to park in Flitt Leys. Public of course free to attend.
