Editorial
The June weather may have been too
hot for some but it did give us the
chance to enjoy all the outdoor events
which took place over the month as well
as some time spent just sitting in the
garden and enjoying the weather. It
was too hot to do anything else!
The next two months will again be
hoping for good weather with Garden
Parties, Cream Teas, the School Summer
Fete, (where sadly we have to say
farewell to Richard Lloyd the
Headmaster who is stepping down after
11 years), a Teddy Bears Picnic, Open
Studio, and the Kite Festival in Royston.
The Over 60’s are running a trip to the
‘End of Pier Show’ in Cromer in
September- tickets will go very quickly.
Another one to book early is the ‘Best of
British’ event run by the Friends of SM
Church, in October. Tickets are usually
sold out within weeks!

Waste Collection : Green Bins
Some residents have found their green bins are not
being collected. This is because they have been found to
be contaminated with plastic and even just one
contaminated bin means the whole lorry load is
contaminated and ends up in landfill. That is an awful
waste of tax-payers’ money especially as the cost for
using landfill sites is increasing because the land
available for landfill is decreasing.
In future, please do not use the bags you can buy from
Tesco and Sainsburys for your kitchen waste such as
potato peelings and left-overs. Even though the bags are
marked “Recyclable and Compostable” they take a very
long time to decompose and therefore foul up the
composting system.
South Cambs. District Council can supply acceptable
paper bags at a cost of £4.50 per 50 bags. For the
Mordens Ward, I am willing to order these for you and
deliver them to your door if you let me know you would
like some.
Cicely Murfitt 01763 852 526
scambs.gov.uk – website
A very useful tool if you wish to report or need
information on the following items – Bins, Council Tax,
Benefits, Business, Planning, The Council, Community,
Building Control, Elections, Environment (which includes
drainage, dog fouling, abandon vehicles, tipping, graffiti,
litter, pestcontrol, and street lighting), Housing, and
Transport (which includes senior railcards, street care
and cleaning, bus timetables, roads and street
maintenance, and community transport)
The site is quite easy to use, for example if you are
reporting a pothole, dropped drain, or a blocked drain,
you click on the Report It icon. Open up all the icons for
all the services, choose the icon you need (Transport for
potholes), (Environment for drainage) then follow the
instructions which will ask for your postcode and mark
the pothole or drain on the map. You should receive a
confirmation email confirming your enquiry has been
received, and even a date when it may be dealt with.

• County Councillor Mr S Kindersley – reported that the verges have been cut, but where the

be of interest to you?
We would like to gauge the level of interest so if
you would be interested in supporting such a
venture, please send an email to this address –
In the subject line of the email, write ‘Guilden
Gaumont’. In the body of the email, write ‘Yes, I
would be interested’ then list your three favourite
genres (eg, comedy, thriller, foreign) and one film
from each genre. In order for the cinema club to
operate, it would be have to be set up on the
following basis;
• It would be open to members only (to comply
with licensing rules).
• Membership fees would be £15 per year (payable
upon registration).
• There would be between 4 – 6 shows throughout
the year.
• Each performance would take place on a
Thursday in the village hall.
• The films would not be the very latest cinema
releases
Due to set up timelines we need responses by 12th

Steeple Morden has been treated to two litter picking sessions this month. The first one was carried out by the cubs and scouts from The Mordens 6th Royston Air Scout Group who collected four full bags of rubbish plus some other miscellaneous items from the Brook End, Bogs Gap, Recreation Ground and Conservation areas - the group covered a really impressive area. Many thanks to the cub and scout leaders for helping with this exercise and giving us access to such a huge workforce! The latest 'sixty minute makeover' event took place on Saturday 10th June 2017 and tackled Zone 4 - the southern end of Steeple Morden (Station Road and Ashwell Road) with 14 volunteers picking for an hour, including 5 children. Again, a surprisingly large amount of rubbish was collected; thanks to all who helped with this on what was a particularly warm afternoon. The next litter pick event is on Saturday 8th July 2017 - we will be meeting outside the Waggon and Horses Pub at 2pm - all welcome. If you would like to join us please email [email protected] or call Ginny on 01763 852 475 - as always the more the merrier!
Thanks again to all who have and continue to support this initiative - your efforts are appreciated!
Steeple Morden Parish Council is pleased to announce that a successful grant application was made for £534 from the Big Lottery Fund to buy litter picking equipment to support our local initiative. This grant has enabled the PC to buy warning signs, cones, litter pickers, bag holders and hi-viz vests.

Allotments For Rent
Would you like the satisfaction of growing your own veg, saving a few pounds on your shopping bill and
possibly making new friends along the way?
Our site on the edge of the village has now been established for four years. We are a small, friendly,
lively, enthusiastic (and mixed ability!) group of members, with around 20 plots on site. Due to changes
of circumstance, one or two have recently become available so we would love you to join our thriving
community of Allotmenteers!
We have ‘full size’ and ‘half size’ plots – perhaps you would like to share with a friend or neighbour, or
give your children the chance to learn more about where their food comes from by growing their own?
It is a self-contained, locked site with a water supply and communal composting, and you can put a shed
on your plot if needed.
So if you want to be eating fresh Asparagus in April and your own Leeks in December please get in
touch!
For more information contact Becky in the first instance on

The “Mordens Community First Response Group” We are looking for new members
If you have a few hours spare a week, work from home from time to time, are home-based or
just fancy doing something new that is massively rewarding, then please get in touch.
The Mordens CFR Group is a small group of local volunteers who are trained by the ambulance service to attend 999 ambulance related calls within an approximate 5 mile radius of the Mordens. Since going live in July last year, we have attended over 120 calls, and in the vast majority of cases, have been the first to arrive on scene. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact myself, Nick Badger on (01763) 852191, 07860 537114 or mail [email protected] or the group’s co-ordinator Wayne Cox on (01763) 853206, 07795 823376 or by mail [email protected]
