Broughton Matters
Chairman’s Notes September 2015
By the time this is published summer, for what we have had of it, will already
be a memory and we are well into autumn. You will even see the first
advertisements for Christmas events in this edition which shows how far in
advance we have to look for even the most obvious things.
For the Parish Council it means thoughts turn to budgets and precepts which
we have to put together in November and December. As ever we will build up
the budget and carefully scrutinise each line to ensure we are achieving value
for money.
As previously announced Aldi will be building the supermarket on the
Broughton Way site, we are expecting rapid progress on that front.
In the last meeting with developers regarding the community leisure facility the
following time scale was outlined.
•
Mid-September 2015 – clear final planning conditions
•
End October 2015 – start on site (triggers £50k forward payment)
•
December 2015 – phases 2/3 application
•
October 2016 – first completions of houses
•
August 2017 – 30th completion (main contribution can now be claimed
if contract is in place)
•
August 2019 - phase 1 completion (1st 100 units)
•
September 2021 – phase 2 completion (2nd 100 units)
•
April 2024 – phase 3 completion (final 100 units)
Essentially that means we could be getting the main money for a leisure facility
in 2017 and allowing time for planning, construction etc we could be looking at
something in the 2019 - 2020 timescale. Although that might seem a long way
off, there is a lot which will need to be done to achieve the goal. One of the first
steps on that journey is to look for a suitable operator.
Almost all leisure facilities of any size are outsourced by Councils to professional
leisure companies. This is how both Market Harborough and Lutterworth are run.
The Parish Council, with the support of the District Council, will shortly be putting
out requests for submissions from potential operators. Several types of contract
are possible include a build, operate and maintain which ensures the operator
has responsibility for making the whole thing work for a period of years with its
obvious benefits.

PARISH ROUND-UP
Parish Manager Debbie Barber provides a brief overview of
Parish Council news and current issues.
Fly Tipping
There have been a few reported incidents of fly tipping in and around
Broughton Astley recently. Harborough District Council will take action on fly
tipping and the dumping of waste on public roads and land they own and
will prosecute anyone that can be identified as having dumped the waste.
Please do not risk the chance of prosecution by fly tipping and making the
area we live in untidy. Dispose of any household waste and goods you no
longer want by taking them to either Whetstone or Lutterworth Recycling and
Household Waste Sites. The winter opening times for both sites can be found
at the bottom of this page.
Local Planning Consultation
Harborough District Council is seeking public views on options for their new
Local Plan, which will set out planning policies in the district for the period to
2031. They are seeking the views of residents and business on these options
to help shape the draft Local Plan. The consultation is taking place between
18 September and 30 October and you will be able to make your comments
via the council’s website at www.harborough.gov.uk/consultation.
A drop in surgery (no appointment required) is being held on Wednesday 7
October 12 noon to 7pm at the Wycliffe Rooms, Lutterworth to find out more
about the options. Displays of maps, information and staff will be on hand to
answer your questions.
A printed copy of the Options consultation is also available to view at the
Parish Office on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays between 9am and
1pm during the consultation period.
Vandalism at Allotments
A spate of vandalism has occurred at the Western Willows Allotment Site
over the last few weeks. I urge not only the plot holders, but members of
the public to be vigilant and report any incidents or suspicious activity to the
Parish Office as well as the Police on 101.
Recycling and Household Waste Sites
Winter Opening Times – are from 9.00am to 4.00pm from
October 1st to March 31st with sites open five days a week. All
sites are open on Saturdays and Sundays. Both Lutterworth
and Whetstone Recycling and Household Waste Sites are
closed on Tuesday and Wednesdays throughout the winter
period. All sites will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s
Day. Access is allowed up to 5 minutes before closing and all vehicles must
be off-site by closing time.

October / November 2015
Baga Bill says:
October
With autumn well under way, October is usually a month
full of chilly mornings and spooky nights and if you’re a
gardener, lots of winter digging! Remember that the
clocks go back an hour at the end of this month so grab
every minute of daylight that you can before the dark
days of winter are upon us.
Give existing lawns some annual maintenance and spring clean the
greenhouse. Empty tubs and hanging baskets as summer bedding plants
come to an end.
November
There is just enough daylight to clear and tidy up the allotment or
vegetable patch of any old crops in preparation for next year. Don’t leave
the remains of summer crops to rot and harbour overwintering pests and
diseases. Clean, oil and sharpen garden tools and check the
wheelbarrow wheel!
Now is a good time to plant new fruit trees and bushes. Soft fruit bushes
can also be moved now if needed as well.

Broughton Astley Gardeners Association
91st Open Village Show and up-coming Trading Hut opening times
Broughton Astley Gardeners Association staged their 91st Open Village
Show in the Village Hall on August Bank Holiday Saturday. The event again
proved to be extremely popular with both exhibitors and the many visitors
who attended the Show to view over 400 exhibits on the show bench. The
weather leading up to the day of the show had been mixed to put it mildly,
but the sun shone on show day which ensured that everyone who came
along had an enjoyable afternoon.
The Homecrafts (cookery) and Handicraft sections once again amply
demonstrated the wide ranging skills of local people, and encouragingly the
number of exhibits was up in both sections. The number of children’s
exhibits was also very slightly up on last years total. We had made special
efforts to encourage both the local Brownies and Beavers packs to submit
entries, but this effort wasn't apparent in the final number of entries received.
We would certainly welcome any suggestions which will encourage the
younger generation to compete more in future years.
Amongst the many trophies contested, the major prize winners included the
following;
Top Junior – Ben Johnson Homecrafts – Rachel Hewkin
Handicrafts – Terry Orton Fruit and Vegetables – Nigel Johnson /
Phil Burgess
Flowers – Ben Johnson / Mr & Mrs D Wood / Denise Bass / Martin Webster
Flower Arranging – Chris Riley / Audrey Foxall
Parish Council Award / Best Kept Allotment – Ray Barnett
The committee of BAGA are extremely grateful to all of those persons who
took the time and effort to exhibit, and to all of those who came along to
support the Show, and hope everyone enjoyed the experience of this
traditional village event.
Special thanks are given to those local businesses who always support the
Show through the donation of raffle prizes, and we would like to
acknowledge the following for their continued generous support,
Bengal Palace Restaurant, Broughton Astley Post Office, Charlie Browns
Nursery, Estley News, Karinas Flower Studio, Main Chemists, Midlands
Co-op, Ringrose Butchers, Sharnford Gardens, Voyles Florists and
Wedges Unisex Hairdressers.

October / November 2015
Next years Show is scheduled to be held on Saturday 27th August 2016, so
please make a note in your diary. If you would like to be involved in any way
please call Jan Gamble (01455 284497) or John Hurford (01455 202184)
to discuss the matter in more detail. Anyone who has attended the Village
Show will appreciate just how popular it is with residents of all ages, and we
are always delighted to welcome any new volunteers on board to help with
the running of the event.
In closing I would like to remind everyone that the BAGA Trading Hut,
situated on the Western Willows Allotment Site, is now only open for
business between 10.00 – 12.00 on the first Sunday morning of November,
December and January, before opening again every Sunday morning from
7th February 2016.

Colin Golding a call at home, on the telephone number shown on the back
page of this magazine. Alternatively, our new website will give you 24 hour
access to us via www.broughtonastleygardeners.co.uk.

Our meetings continue to cover a wide range of topics including techniques and
practical sessions on Portraits, Street photography, Monochrome and Macro
images. Recent subjects for our Photo of the Month competitions have been
water droplets, reflections, street photography and chimneys. You can view the
winners on our website. We were pleased to be asked to photograph the village
Carnival and to provide photographic assistance to the Heritage Society. We
displayed a small exhibition of members’ images at the BAGA show at the end
of August and will be putting on our annual exhibition at the library from the
17th to 31st October.

BROUGHTON ASTLEY WI
The National Federation of Women’s Institutes celebrates its centenary this year, the
first WI having been set up in Llanfair PG, Anglesey, in September 1915. Its
original aim was to bring women in rural areas together during the difficult times of
war, when men were away and women had to take over many of their duties. More
WI’s soon formed and they set to making jam and bottling the fruit that was wasting
in the orchards and hedgerows. They were asked to support the war effort in feeding
the nation by growing vegetables and taking their produce to local markets.
The lives of women changed drastically during this time and members soon began
to campaign on issues that mattered to them and their communities to improve the
quality of life for everyone. These campaigns have sought to empower and support
women within society and to bring some controversial issues into the public domain.
Over these one hundred years many of these campaigns have helped to bring about
changes in legislation and government policy, from the right to vote and equal pay for
equal work to banning smoking in public places and breast cancer screening,
covering many health, environmental, fairness and sustainability issues.
To mark this centenary the Parish Council has kindly agreed to us planting a
commemorative tree in the Recreation Ground on the 30th September.
At Broughton Astley WI we do NOT make jam (although we are known for our
delicious home baked cakes) but we do enjoy a very varied programme at our
monthly meetings and many other activities during the year.
For more information contact Fran Marsland on 01455 282118.

October / November 2015
Is Broughton Alive?
Reflections on a wet August bank holiday weekend
In this modern world we live in, many people find themselves stressed by
work, running homes, shopping, running the children around… the list goes
on. Many residents of our village are so busy being busy that they don’t
have much contact with neighbours or friends. People fly out of their homes
in the morning, drive off to work in their cars and return after a long day’s
stressful work to disappear behind their front doors to relax and recharge,
ready for a repeat performance the next day.
No wonder we look forward to bank holiday weekends as a chance to relax.
This August, there were two village events which were planned in the hope
of sunshine but were still judged a success despite the weather.
On the Saturday, the Broughton Astley Gardeners Association put on
their annual show in the village hall. I gather there were about 200 people
through the door, which is 2% of our population. The event is run like a
typical country show with various categories for growers, crafters and artists
to put up their best exhibits for scrutiny by the mysterious judges. My wife
and I paid £1 for 5 entries, won £4 in prize money and spent £3 on
admission, tea and cake. Net result: zero cost, but a pleasant experience
meeting fellow villagers and several old friends.
On the Sunday, Broughton Alive (they also do the Carnival + Christmas
Lights events) put on a mini music festival “Party in the Park” in the
recreation ground. Using a stage based on a lorry trailer very kindly lent by
local haulier Brindleys, an afternoon of music was provided by local artists
and bands. Everyone had a great time, despite the heavy rain which fell
from about 12-3:00pm. Extra gazebos sprang up from nowhere and the
beer tent resembled a squatters’ camp, but hey, that’s music festivals for
you! Glastonbury without the mud? Again, the turnout was about 200
people altogether.
So, as our village population is somewhere around 10,000 people, that
means 96% or 9600 of you did something else. A friend of ours who works
at the café at M&S Fosse Park told us the queues never went down all
day – “it was manic!” I bet it was the same at the garden centres too.
So here is my message to those of you who were miffed at the bank
holiday weather and went shopping instead. Don’t waste a single day of
your precious lives growling at the weather. Take every chance you can to
enjoy quality time with your families. Go out and experience community
events – they are a much better option than shopping or watching the telly.
You can add yourselves to the 400 people who look back on the last August
Bank Holiday as a brilliant weekend. I can’t wait to do it all again next year!

From Revd Sharon
Autumn is upon us and the evenings draw in and thoughts turn to
remembrance and Advent and Christmas loom on the horizon! And a lot of
us begin to say, where did the year go! This year has seen many
celebrations!
Richard III was reburied after 500 years! The Centenary of the WI! 75 years
since the Battle of Britain, 70 years since VJ Day, and recently the marking
of Queen Elizabeth’s reign as the longest of any monarch. And yet we have
also had much to grieve about as we have seen the thousands of migrants
trying to find a new safe home and sadly, many not even making it to the
shore. There has not been such a migration of people for many generations.
Bitter sweet days to reflect on.
November brings us a time to remember... All Saints and All Souls.
In St Mary’s on 1st November we will hold a late afternoon service to
remember loved ones we see no longer. There will be time to light a
candle, to hear their names, and listen to that message of hope to those who
still grieve. All are welcome to come and this year we will be joined by our
friends from Sutton in Elms Chapel. A gentle comforting service of prayer
and music to soothe the soul.
Soon after we remember and give thanks for those who gave their lives in the
service of their country on Remembrance Sunday November 9th and pray for
peace in our world.
Sometimes it is good to take time to reflect, and remember.
A friend sent me a Facebook message a little while ago; it read as follows...
I share it with you in these autumn remembering days.
Forget who hurt you yesterday, but remember those who love you every day.
Forget the past that makes you cry and focus on the present that makes
you smile.
Forget the pain, but remember the lessons gained.

All years are different and this year has produced quite a few surprises. We
have seen good numbers of House martins around the village this year, in
contrast to the last few years when we have struggled to see odd ones. The
number of Swallows has also been encouraging and Swifts were in evidence
swooping around the village. At the time of writing I have seen increasing
numbers of migratory hirundines over the harvested fields of cereal on their
way south. Let’s hope they make safe journeys to their winter quarters and
return in good numbers next year.
There are an increasing number of records of birds that normally migrate,
remaining in the UK throughout the winter months. It is now not unusual to see
Blackcaps, Chiff Chaffs and the odd willow Warbler at garden feeders
throughout the winter months. So do keep an eye on your feeders for these
toughies. This year we have recorded evidence of Bullfinches breeding in the
village and excellent photos of the young in a garden. These birds are not
uncommon but are a joy to see with the adult male unmistakable with his
bright pinkish-red breast and cheeks, grey back, black
cap and tail, and bright white rump.
The females have a brown back and pinkish-fawn
underparts. Juveniles are like the adult female, but do
not have black caps Autumn is in full swing by the time
October gets underway and a damp autumn is the time
when fungi begin to appear. Mushrooms pop up in the fields and toadstools
add their weird, wonderful colours and shapes to woodlands and old pastures.
Like many of our wildlife records, most Fungi records are gathered and
identified by amateur hobbyists who amass unique knowledge of their chosen
flora and become the bedrock of knowledge for the country’s records. These
experts validate all records on Naturespot to ensure our records are robust.
The appearance of butterflies in the village this year has been erratic, starting
off well but falling back in mid-summer and then recovering in early autumn.
Although the forecast was for many migratory Painted ladies we have seen
only a handful around our patch. Small Tortoise have seemed to fare well with
Comma, Peacocks and Brimstones giving a good account of themselves;
Common and Holly Blues less so. In the fields we have seen good numbers of
Gatekeepers, Meadow Brown, Ringlets, and Essex, Small and Large
Skippers.
Sloes are looking really nice this year and nature seems to have produced a
bountiful crop so those Sloe gin makers should be in for a treat.
