Welcometo the May issueof The Dialogue!
Bonjour! Isn’t this year flying by? I’m just back from a work trip and, givenour proximity to the airport, typically choose to fly if I have to go abroad forwork. However, this time I was going to Dijon, which doesn’t have an airport,so my colleague and I went on the Eurostar. I’d not been on the Eurostarbefore and was quite excited. We joined a queue at St Pancras Internationaland had our bags checked before boarding the train. The journey was quickand smooth and before too long, we were getting off the train in Paris. It’s aslightly odd feeling when you step off the train and you’re in another countryas the usual clues that you’re leaving England and landing elsewhere aren’t asevident when you’re simply sitting on a train. We found the Metro and usedour Euros to buy tickets to get our connecting train to Dijon, in search ofmustard. If you’ve not been on the Eurostar before, I’d really recommend it,and Dijon is a very lovely town too – with plenty of mustard.
Closer to home, the children at Diseworth School have been exploringstructures from around the world, dressing up to celebrate World Book Dayand working towards the forthcoming ‘make it move’ challenge by designingand making a model that can travel the furthest distance – what fun! The OwlHouse Spa at Langley Priory has recently won a prestigious award and thereare plenty of dates for your diary with forthcoming events at the Village Hall,Langley Priory, the Church and the Heritage Centre, to name a few. Lizexplains, in her Health Page, how ginger can be a useful remedy for headachesand migraines, Nikki recounts the lives of some of Diseworth’s lost boys, andKaren has a super suggestion for a grand day out.
Have a lovely May, everyone!

LEST WE FORGETDISEWORTH WAR MEMORIAL
The Lost BoysJOHN FREDERICK ALLCROFT ARTHUR MAYESWILLIAM MAYES SIDNEY NUNN
The Industrial Schools Act of 1868 was set up to care for “neglected, orphaned and abandonedchildren”. Often the parents were in the Workhouse. Of the names on Diseworth War Memorialthere are four young men who had attended the Industrial School in Norfolk. The routine waspart-time school and part-time agricultural training. Research shows they came from parts ofNorfolk and were sent to Diseworth to work on the farms.
John Frederick Allcroft was born in West Ham in 1894. Family records provide little evidencebut in 1901 he had been sent to a family to acquire farming skills. By the 1911 census John wasworking as a horseman on John Harris’ farm at Bleak House in Diseworth. When he enlisted inLeicester he gave his residence as Melbourne, Derbyshire. John joined the 1st BattalionLeicestershire Regiment and was posted abroad on active service. In May 1915 he was broughtback to England seriously injured and unable to walk. He was sent to a Red Cross hospital inSandgate, Folkestone where he died from gangrene. Diseworth must have meant a lot to John ashe came back to be buried in the village. His Commonwealth War Grave is in Diseworthchurchyard.
John Frederick Allcroft.
Arthur MayesCertificate declaring him
‘Fit for the Front’
The Mayes brothers, Arthur and William, had a very sad life. Born in 1886 and 1887, theywere two of the nine children of George and Harriet Mayes who were all born in Smallburgh,Norfolk. In 1901 Harriet Mayes is recorded as a widow and by 1911 she and three of the youngerchildren were in the Workhouse in Smallburgh. Older sister Ethel was in service in GreatYarmouth and two younger sisters were in training for domestic service in a Home for Waifs andStrays in Dickleborough, Norfolk. Arthur and William Mayes were at the Industrial School inNorfolk. Whether older brother George had also been to the Industrial School is not known buthe is the first contact with Diseworth, registered in 1911 as working on a Jarrom Farm. Arthurand William duly followed George to Diseworth for work and when Arthur enlisted (one of thefirst to do so) on 10th August 1914, his mother and youngest sister were in Brandon Lodge inDiseworth. Arthur gave his address as Lady Gate, Diseworth. He signed on for six years with the3rd Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment, embarked with the Expeditionary Force fromSouthampton early in 1915 and was passed fit for the Front on 1st October 1915 and joined the
16
2nd Battalion. Two weeks later he wasdead from wounds received in action. Aweek after Arthur died his brotherWilliam enlisted as a Royal NavalVolunteer Reserve. He gave BleakHouse, Diseworth as his address wasdrafted to the MediterraneanExpeditionary Force in February1916and was posted to Anson Battalion atStavros in Turkey. On 3rd October1916, just fifteen months after heenlisted William died from appendicitisin a casualty clearing station and iscommemorated on the LapugnoyMilitary Cemetery War Memorial. Bythis time Harriet Mayes had returned toNorfolk and when news arrived ofWilliam’s death she was in theAlysham Union Workhouse in Norfolk.
Sidney Nunn was another workhousechild who was sent to the IndustrialSchool in Norfolk. He was born in1900 in Kensington Workhouse. In1911 he is recorded as being in theIndustrial School in Norfolk andmoved from there to Bleak House ashis contemporaries. When he enlistedon 23rd May 1918, Sidney gave hisaddress as Bleak House but this iscrossed out and re-placed with FingerFarm, Kegworth (now part of theairport). He gave his next of kin as Mr.Morris of Finger Farm, his employer.Sidney died on 5th November 1918,aged 19 years, just one week beforeArmistice was declared.
Truly the ‘Lost Boys’, they came toDiseworth to live and work andultimately to be recorded with honouron our Memorial.

No RelationDeborah Tyler-Bennett, aLoughborough Poet and Teacherread the account of Sidney Nunn andwrote a poem.(Private Sidney Nunn, 1900-1918)
No RelationDiseworth to Kegworth,
Bleak House to Finger Farm …
Not actual next of kin but so recorded,Mr Morris, Finger Farm, Kegworth.
Just an older man opening front door on trouble,walking his acres, squinting at
bare-faced vistas.
He might have thought the ladnever had chance of life –
Marylebone Workhouse, thenIndustrial School,
Diseworth to Kegworth,Bleak House to Finger Farm ...
Perhaps a tear’s trick showed himtoiling still,
tin-farm figure against cardboard skies,
or wiping boots on the scraper,come to discuss
cattle-fodder: mangolds; peas; and beans.
Mr Morris,next of kin by dint of being last employer,may have considered the sheer nonsense
of it –
six years learning cultivation,six months a tommy,
death ringing in week before peacebells sounded
across wintering fields his boy, Sid,had sewn
Diseworth to Kegworth,Bleak House to Finger Farm.

St Michael and All Angels Parish ChurchDear Friends,
My original intention was to write about Christian Aid because we arehaving a Christian Aid evening service at 6.15pm on May 11th at StMary the Blessed Virgin Osgathorpe. This would have been a veryworthwhile endeavour because Christian Aid is a very worthycharitable organisation and raising awareness of its work can only beconsidered to be a good thing. However, sometimes the good Godwants us to do is not the good we intended to do and I am going to talkabout another charitable organisation for which my youngest daughterworks. It is a dance company called Stopgap and it is made up of three disabled dancers andtwo non-disabled dancers. The description of disabled and non-disabled was chosen by thedisabled dancers. A few weeks ago I had the privilege of seeing them perform their piece calledArtificial Things, which has been received extremely well wherever they have performed it andwhich has included performing to a mainly Russian audience during the Winter Paralympics inSochi. Let me share with you a short quote from their website:
Stopgap value a pioneering spirit and are committed to making discoveries about integratingdisabled and non-disabled people through dance. Difference is our means and method.
To see them dance is to be moved because all are encouraged to reach their full potential: egohas been put aside and ‘those who would be last are first’. This happens because gifts andtalents are being used for the good of the whole group and not for just one particular person. Mydaughter recently said to me that over the years she has found that dance can be a very selfishprofession but working for this dance company has shown her how good dance can be whendancers are selfless. This ethos speaks to me of Christ in action in the world. It probably willnot come as a surprise to learn that this dance company does contain some Christian members,even though, of course, it is not ostensibly Christian.
We all can learn a lot from companies like Stopgap who seek to be inclusive, who seek to fullyintegrate and who seek to bring unity through diversity. The creative arts are a powerful vehiclefor strong messages. The strong message here is that the disadvantaged of society are to beappreciated, not ignored, for they have much to offer, which is of equal value to those who aremore advantaged. We must be very thankful that we live in a society that has championed theParalympics and continues to improve life for the disabled, even though cuts are being made tosome services. Through my daughter’s international work she has discovered that manycountries lag behind Britain in the area of the integration of disabled and non-disabled dancers.Their work in promoting awareness of the value of this integrated style of dance is important, notjust for the creative art of dance, but also as an instrument for changing people’s attitude todisability. The Paralympics have done marvellous work in this area and the creative arts alsohave a key role to play.
To see dance like Artificial Things is to be humbled. As a Christian, it made me feel that Iwanted to work for greater inclusivity within the Church and unity in the Spirit, whichunderstood that the gifts and talents that God gives us are for building up the Body of Christ.
19
They are not for individual advancement. No wonder Martin Luther King was so passionateabout equality: I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the truemeaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”In the Christian faith we are all sons of God, we all stand as equals before God: “There is neitherJew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians3v28). The unity in Christ is something we have to work for but it is worth working for becauseit is a thing of humbling beauty that brings us to the foot of the cross and leads us into theresurrection life.
Love and Blessings

NEW MOTHERS, NEW BABIESThe new crop of
calves has beenarriving steadily, andmost are not requiringany help out into theworld. That said the vethas been out to acouple of difficultcalvings and despite alltheir best efforts welost two calves and onthe second occasion thecow as well. A rareevent to lose a cow, butsometimes these thingshappen. On a cheeriernote, most of the otherdeliveries have beenrelativelystraightforward. Will’s main job at thistime is to check mother and calf are bothokay, and ensure that they have bonded.This normally is not a problem, as mostcows are soon up on their feet andlicking the newborn clean. SomeLimousin mothers can be a bit overzealous with the licking, and they getquite excited as the calf struggles to itsfeet. Usually within an hour the calf hassuckled which reinforces the bondingprocess. If the calf doesn’t suckleunaided in the first few hours, it is vitallyimportant to ensure that it does, as thatfirst milk, the colostrum, containsantibodies that help the calf’s immunesystem. This failure to suckle canhappen with a heifer and its first calf asthe new mother is so excited by thisthing she has produced, that she justkeeps spinning around as it is trying tosuckle. The calf is trying to nose its wayalong the body of the mother to find theudder and she is turning away all the
time so she can look at it. Will canusually remedy this by getting into thepen with the heifer and calf, and standwith them. This usually makes themother stand still while the calf finds theteat. After this first initial contact ismade, the heifer gets the idea and will letthe calf suckle whenever it wants to.
Occasionally, a calf might havebeen born in the night, and although cowand calf look fine there may be signs thatthe calf has not suckled its mother forvarious reasons. The cow’s udder may bequite big or she may have large teats andthis can sometimes result in the calf notbeing able to latch onto the teat. Afterabout six hours, the calf stops trying andwill just lie down. This is a problem asonce they have gone through this sixhour window, it is difficult to persuadethem to suckle the mother and plan Bmust be employed. This usually involvesremoving the cow to the cattle crush sosome vital milk can be obtained for the

The Owl House Day Spa in Langley Priorywere winners at the 3rd annual English Hairand Beauty Awards presented by Fake Bake!
Diseworth’s very own Owl House Day Spa recently wonNational Spa of the Year at the 3rd annual English Hair andBeauty Awards presented by Fake Bake.
Thousands of nominations flooded in for the 3rd year of theEnglish Hair and Beauty Awards and the prestigious awardceremony was held on the 30th March in Manchester.
After winning their award, Lucy and Martin Goodwin,directors of Owl House Spa said: “This is the first time wehave been entered into the awards and we were over themoon to be in the final six, let alone win the event! We wantto thank all our staff and clients for the fantastic supportthat they have given us to allow us to come this far”.
The glitzy event showed appreciation for those in thebeauty industry who leave us looking and feeling fantastic;from salons to the talented individuals who work within them.

calf. It is better to secure the cow in thecrush for safety reasons. Newly calvedcows can be fiercely protective of theircalves, and half a tonne of cow trying toknock you over is bad news in anyone’sbook. She of course is only trying to carefor her calf, and also she doesn’t wantyou to have the milk either, as again sheinstinctively knows it is for her offspring.Still once in the crush, the cow usuallycalms down, especially if you bribe herwith a bit of corn in a bucket, and then itis easy to get some milk for the calf. Withthis jumbo sized baby’s bottle full offrothy warm milk you go back to heroffspring and do what sometimes lookslike a bit of calf wrestling at times. Thisis because the calf has lost the urge tosuckle, so it will squirm around as youtry to persuade it to open its mouth toreceive the teat.
From an outsider’s point of view,this can look a bit unkind, but you are
trying to save its life. Without this firstmilk it will just sit there and die. Theteat finally in its mouth, you squeeze thelittle jaws together so that a trickle goesinto its mouth. With luck it will swallow,and then the magic happens. It is as if aswitch has been turned on in the calf’sbrain and it will start to drink from theteat, usually quite vigorously. As it getsto the end and starts sucking air, it willalmost go mad with frustration, buttingand jostling at the bottle. Now is the timeto reintroduce its mother. The newlyinvigorated calf is manoeuvred round tothe udder and it will usually latch onand start to suckle eagerly. So after apatchy start, the nursery sheds are fillingup, and the days are getting longer.Once the weather warms up, they can beoff down the field to get some sun ontheir backs and some sweet grass intheir bellies.

News from Diseworth SchoolClass 2: The children are thoroughly enjoying their topic of ‘Structures’. We havemade it all the way around the world visiting many countries including France, Italy,Australia and America. Along the way we have researched many structures including TheEiffel Tower, The Millau Bridge and The Sydney Opera House. The children have usedthe laptops to find pictures of the various structures, learning to copy and paste theimages to print off for their topic folders.
As part of our Structures topic we have been busy recreating many famous structuresusing paint and pastels but also cocktail sticks and plasticine to make 3D designs.
In Science we have been investigating materials which float and sink. The children havedesigned their own experiments to test many different materials. Then, using theirnew knowledge of properties of materials which float, we designed and made our ownboats. Finally we tested the boats to see if they would float and how much weight theycould hold.

Whole School Celebrates World Book Day!On the 6th March the children at Diseworth School enjoyed celebrating World Book Day.The children were able to come into School dressed as a character from a favourite bookor bring in an artefact to accompany their book. We had plenty of fun sharing books inclasses.
29
Class 3Class 3 have beenworking together inteams, testing andlearning whilst havinglots of fun at the sametime. The childrenhave been doing lots ofscience and DT work insmall teams ready fora competition. 3M andThe LoughboroughEcho have set anumber of challengesfor children to enterand compete againstother schools.
We have been working towards entering their ‘make it move’ challenge where childrenhave to design and construct a model that can travel the furthest distance from a givenstart point. The children have been put into teams of 3 with each team having a childfrom year 3, 4 and 5. First the children were given information about the challenge andwhat materials were allowed. This allowed the children to work in their teams to come upwith an initial design for their model.
Following this the childrenbegan to undertake avariety of tests looking athow the height of a rampaffects the distance avehicle will travel, the prosand cons of using elasticbands to propel a model andhow friction can reduce thedistance a vehicle cantravel. The children thenconsidered what materialwould be best to constructtheir models and began todevelop their science andDT skills as they began tomake their models.
30
With each team having completed making their modelsthey began to test them in the hall. The next thing toconsider was to begin producing their presentations. Eachteam will show their models and presentations andcompete against each other to see which model travelsthe furthest distance. This will give us a winning team toenter into the challenge later.

HEALTH PAGEHeadaches and Migraines
Headaches are a very commoncomplaint and vary in intensity from a mild tosevere pain. They can be caused by stress,tiredness, food allergies, sinusitis and physicalinjury. Migraines are severe headaches oftenaccompanied by nausea and disturbed vision.These are often triggered by eating foods thatcontain tryamine such as bananas, chocolate,cheese, citrus fruits, caffeine, cheese,aspartame, raisins, broad beans, some types ofbread and some alcoholic drinks, especiallyred wine, champagne and dark heavy beers.These foods all contain proteins with an aminein their chemical structure. Headaches canalso be triggered by cured meats such asbacon, hot dogs, sausage and salami as thesecontain sodium nitrate. Susceptible people donot always develop headaches after eatingthese foods, suggesting that other factors mayhave to combine with these foods toprecipitate pain.
Frequent headaches could be a sign ofdeficiency in some minerals and vitamins. Allthe B Vitamins are needed to combat stressand avoid tension headaches. Protein richfoods such as chicken, fish, beans, nuts andpeanut butter are all rich in B vitamins. Theminerals calcium and magnesium worktogether to help prevent headaches, especiallythose related to a woman’s menstrual cycle.Calcium is found in dairy products, tofu, darkleafy green vegetables such as kale orbroccoli, and beans and peas. Good sources ofmagnesium are dark leafy vegetables, nuts,bananas, wheatgerm, seafood, and beans andpeas.
As an alternative to medication, it ispossible to use some foods as painkillers.Firstly ginger, this spice may be just aseffective at preventing and treating migrainesas powerful prescription drugs. Ginger, like
aspirin andsome othersophisticatedanti-migrainedrugs, affects prostaglandins, the body’shormone like substances that help controlinflammatory responses involving histamineand pain. Dr Krishna C Srivastava of OdenseUniversity in Denmark conductedexperiments on the usefulness of ginger as atreatment for migraine. One 42 year oldpatient with a long history of migraine wasasked to try ginger as an alternative treatment.At the first sign of visual disturbance thatoften signals an oncoming migraine, she wastold to take the ginger. This she did, takingabout 500-600milligrams, about one-third ofa teaspoon of powdered ginger mixed withplain water. Within 30 minutes she noted thatthe visual disturbances had reduced, and themigraine did not develop. For the next fourdays she took this same dose of ginger inwater four times a day. The experiment wasso successful that she took to eating uncookedginger root regularly as part of her diet.Before the ginger regimen she used to havetwo or three severe headaches a month.During thirteen months of using ginger, shesuffered only a fairly mild headache everyother month.
A deficiency of copper can also lead tofrequent headaches. Oysters, lobster, liver,nuts, seeds, green olives and wheat bran arevery rich sources of copper. Finally feverfewtaken regularly can reduce the incidence andseverity of headaches and migraines. If takenas a fresh leaf always eat it between slices ofbread as it can irritate the stomach,alternatively take as a supplement.

A GRAND FAMILYDAY OUTIt’s wonderful to spend time with family, but it can bedifficult trying to please all the different age groupswhen we share days out. It often seems that the oldadage of pleasing all of the people only some of thetime, etc (generally attributed to Abraham Lincoln)applies when it comes to finding activities that will span generations without a toddler tantrum, a childboredom whine, a teenage sulk, parental exasperated sighs and grandparents trying to placate everyone.So, with bank holidays and family days out to arrange, I would like to suggest the lovely Hatton CountryWorld ; a place where every member of the family can find something of interest. Although it is inWarwickshire it is not too far away for a full day out, 52miles and takes about an hour using M1 andM69 and then A roads.
The Hatton estate still belongs to descendents of the Arkwright (of the mills) family and the currentowners started to diversify in the 1980’s, starting with a craft centre, with gradual development into theinteresting site of activities all in one place, that it is today, which includes: Hatton Adventure Worldcatering for children of all ages; Outdoors there are, a swing and slide area; 2 separate adventure playareas with zip wires and climbing equipment; pony rides, bouncy castle and super slides; fun fair;JCB young driver’s zone; runaway tractor with story; trampolines, a sheep race track, a gold rush siteand duck trails activity, plus many others.
Also outdoors are various animals and often animal handling sessions. There are plenty of picnic tablesaround, many of them under shade roofs or completely under cover for full shelter.
Indoors there is a soft play area for under 5’s; a special events marquee (changed regularly) plus achildren’s show marquee where clowns acts, magic, puppetry amongst others are performed at set times;the guinea pig village where supervised handling occurs; the rabbit and small animal barn where againthe animals can be handled and at times feeding of the young and seeing the new born animals.Lambing is very popular. There is a toy/game/book shop, a cafe and restaurant all in the soft play area.
Whilst the children are enjoying themselves with any or all of the above, older children and adults inthis area can enjoy events in the special marquee, the amaize maze (seasonal) , birds of prey exhibitionand falconry bird-o-batics displays.
Within the site, there is the shopping village, a courtyard of Victoriana buildings with independent shops,discount outdoor clothing store, crafts, stained glass and stone crafts, cards, gifts, furniture,jeweler, sweets, artisan food and drink, candles, antiques and a small garden centre.

LEICESTERSHIRE APPLE CAKE RECIPEClass 44
Diseworth Village ShowINGREDIENTS:100g(4oz) butter or margarine75g (3oz) sugar1 egg150g (6oz) self-raising flour450g (1lb) cooking applesCaster sugar to sprinkle
DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to gas 4, or 180’C (350’ moderate).Peel, core and slice the apples. Stew with the sugar. Drain off any juice.Cream together butter and sugar, add the egg and beat well.Gradually add the self-raising flour, beating well.Divide the pastry into two, and press one half into the base of a greased 18cm (7in)diameter round tin.Cover pastry with the apple.On a lightly floured board, press out the remaining pastry to a circle to fit over theapples.Bake for about 45 mins. When cold turn out and sprinkle with sugar.
There is also a small restaurant here.
From the site, there are a number of circular walks and signedfootpaths, into Hatton village, into the surrounding countryside,alongside the canal to Hatton Locks, or to the Hatton Arms on thecanal side, which also hosts its own special events and very good food.So anyone who has tired of animals, adventures, play, daft races,shops, displays and shows can have a very peaceful nature walkwithout leaving the rest of the family for too long and without the needto go very far, from 1.5 to 5 miles of 3 different routes using permis-sive paths in the private land of Hatton Estate.
Family camping is also a regular event offered by Hatton World, but only on set weekends (web siteinformation) with the opportunity to share in activities with the nature rangers, e.g. mini beast encountersor discover bats.
I would recommend a look at the website as there is just too much to include here, and events, programmesand displays all change through the year to offer the best of the seasons and special holiday times. Theyare open daily from 10am to 5.30pm (not Christmas and Boxing Day).

If you are yet to pay your annual subscription to the ‘200 Club’ I must remind you that this source ofincome is very important for your Village Hall so please contact a committee member if you wish tocontinue with your chance of a monthly cash prize.
Our last two events proved to be very successful in raising funds for the Hall. Andy Randell &Broken Strings sang whilst we enjoyed a three course meal and thanks go to everyone who attendedthis year’s Prize Bingo Night in April – both enjoyed a ‘full house’ and seemed to go very well.
Saturday 3rd May see us present Diseworth’s very own Dr Pat on Lead Guitar and Vocals. LooseFollicles are celebrating their 25th year of wowing audiences with their polished and professionalrenditions of popular 50’s and 60’s dance tunes. We always get a good turnout for dance events atDiseworth - so I hope you have already booked your tickets – if not please contact Marie Orchard ifyou’d like to come along.Why not try our new ‘Quingo Night’ in June – trivia mixed with bingo - see advert.
Our “What’s On” page illustrates our future events as well as other regular classes, etc. - I hopeyou’ll find something to take your interest? Our last two events sold out so please remember toreserve tickets for anything that you don’t want to miss.
Plans for the Village Show are well under way details of the show classes were printed in lastmonth’s Dialogue. I’m sure you will have noticed that in a break with tradition the classic VictoriaSponge Cake has been replaced with the Leicestershire Apple Cake – the recipe for which is includedon page 25 this month.
The new Village Hall Website is nearing completion and at the time of writing this will be fullyoperational soon – please note the web site and e-mail addresses have changed to:www.diseworthhall.com (see e-mail addresses below).
Just a reminder – in our report last month I reported that the Village Hall will soon be installing aDog Waste Bin within the grounds. As a consequence of this gesture the Parish Council will add asecond elsewhere in the Village but we need your feedback to tell us where you think this should beplaced to be most useful.

LONG WHATTON & DISEWORTHPARISH COUNCILNEWSParish Council News Thursday 3rd April
The Parish Council has received concerns that inaccurate comments about a local resident were publishedin the December/January issue of the Long Whatton News and that a right to reply, retraction or apologyhas not been forthcoming. The Parish Council, as a major contributor to the finances of the Whatton News,would like to see people treated fairly in it. We encourage the editor to allow anyone who has been mentionedin the Whatton News the right to reply if they feel they have been misrepresented.
On this subject the Parish Council would like to correct a report in the April issue of the Long WhattonNews from the meeting in March. At no point were the comments regarding speed bumps described as“fictitious”. The Parish Council does not feel it has been attacked and simply stated that it was not possiblefor it to respond to anonymous comments. You will see below that it has (and had already) taken actionbased on appropriate comments received from parishioners.
The speed bumps through Long Whatton are still causing concerns for residents. Having received furthercomments the Clerk to the Parish Council passed these on to Leicestershire County Council Highways; towhich the following reply was received:“As you know, traffic calming was a high priority for residents in the Parish Plan 2008; our response was toprovide the scheme. The scheme was subject to consultation with the Parish Council and local community,and, since its introduction in autumn 2010, it has proved effective in reducing speeds.Unfortunately we simply do not have the funds to remove or replace schemes with something else, especiallyin the current economic climate, and, given the good speed reduction that’s been achieved, that the schemewas subject to consultation and that it’s been in for some time; there appears little or no justification to do soother than there now being a preference for some other form of traffic calming.On this, and with regard to the suggestion of chicanes, these were considered when the scheme was beingdeveloped but discounted for the following reasons:- These features require two-way traffic flow to be effective so that oncoming traffic is forced to slow downand “give-way”; traffic flow through the village at peak times is fairly “tidal”.- This section of the village forms part of the conservation area, these types of features require a fair amountof signage.”

2014 Annual Parish Meeting Report fromChairman of the Parish Council, Andrew Cawdell
The Parish Council began the year with a vacancy but is now up to full strength with Mary Hobbs re-joining having spent time gaining valuable knowledge and experience working as a Parish Clerk.
This time last year the Parish Council was working towards replacing the play area at Diseworth. The newplay area was completed and officially opened last autumn with a class of children from Diseworth Schoolin attendance. I think the Parish Council should be very proud of the project and the benefit it brings for thecommunity.
Last year we were concerned with flash flooding of properties on Hathern Road in LW. The problem wasreported to the County Council which resulted in remedial action. Drains were cleaned, the roadside kerbwas raised and so far this has prevented further incident.
In November 2012 a number of homes in the Parish were severely flooded during a period of heavy rainfall.The initial response from County Council Flood Management was positive, a representative came out toview the area and talk to residents. In March 2013 we were told that a report had been commissioned.Eventually, in October we were told the report was complete but had been sent out for review, the ParishCouncil did not get sight of it until February this year.
The report left some questions unanswered, particularly the role of the Airport’s surface water managementsystem during prolonged periods of heavy rainfall. The Parish Council is currently seeking further informationand has written to LCC Flood Managementrequesting the data from EMA which led to thereport’s conclusion. A better understanding of thesurface water management is necessary in order toevaluate the recent “sustainable” development planput forward by the Airport. The likely outcome ofthe plan will be more non-porous surfaces within thesite which will inevitably increase the quantity ofwater the system has to deal with.
Dog fouling is an ongoing concern for the ParishCouncil which is currently considering the provisionof additional poop bins and bag dispensers. The PChas also recently produced a letter with informationabout dog fouling penalties and where to reportoffences. This is being delivered to all homes in theParish.
The next Parish Council meeting willbe held on
Thursday 1st May at 7.30pm atThe Long Whatton Friendship Centre,
Main Street, Long Whatton.
