Wih such high temperatures this month. Plants and
wild life considered that spring had arrived.
Primroses and Hellebores were in full bloom early
in the month and a number of trees produced
flowering buds. On the 21st December a large
Brimstone butterfly was seen actively working the
garden. It also thought it was spring and it is usually
the first to emerge.
Lawn grasses continued to grow and many people
were seen mowing the lawns on dry days.
Broad Beans, garlic and saffron continued to grow
and a light frost would be welcome to arrest further
growth. For 2016, along with our venture into
Samphire growing the Italian plant called Agretti
Roscano will take its chance, as an alternative to

CAR PARKING – And Again! At this time of goodwill
and in the spirit of Christmas can we please politely remind
you to think about where you park for school drop off
and pick up. The Office staff are receiving some significant
abuse from local residents as a result of poor parking.
Whilst we can understand how problematic parking around
the school can be, we cannot excuse inconsiderate
or dangerous parking. Your co-operation in this matter
would be very much appreciated.

RECEPTION PLEA - UNIFORM REQUIRED
If anyone has any clothing suitable for Early Years –
Reception and Year 1 - that is no longer required, please

If your child is absent from school, please telephone the
school office by 9.30am on 01279 730382 to let them
know. We will then let their class teacher know. Please do
not email as we cannot guarantee that this will be picked up
before 9.30am.

BORROWED CLOTHING
If your child is sent home in any clothing borrowed from
the school, we would be grateful if you could return it at
your earliest convenience as our back up supplies are very
low. Many thanks.

PFA
Thank you to every single one of you who
made the bazaar such a success, whether
you donated, organised, worked during the
day and on a stall or came to the event to
spend; we are really appreciative. Whilst the main PFA
target is to replace a large piece of wooden outdoor play
equipment, they have already donated to support the
Christmas Concerts, trips and reading resources. Thank you
very much.

Parish Plan

2015

Hatfield Heath Parish Plan

The objective of a village appraisal is to determine what is considered to be good,
worth retaining, missing or needs adding and what needs changing. Once all this
information has been collected and analysed, a Parish Plan can be drawn up for
adoption by the Parish Council.
The first Parish Plan was published in 2005 and in 2014 the Parish Council
thought it would be good to have an updated plan. A small group of local resi-
dents and business people volunteered to form a committee to create a new Par-
ish Plan.
In March 2015 a questionnaire was delivered to every village property for com-

pletion either on paper or online by 3rd April 2015.
In the June 2015 edition of the Hatfield Heath Village Magazine a summary of
the findings from the completed questionnaires was published and delivered to
every residency.

On the 14th October 2015 the Parish Council agreed to accept the Parish Plan that
the committee had put together. A copy of this plan is on the following pages.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the creation of this Parish Plan.
If you would like to receive updates on progress of actions or volunteer to assist
please contact the Parish Council. You can find details of councillors and the
Clerk at http://www.hatfieldheath.com/councillors.html

Bruno Scheggia Editor

Hatfield Heath Parish Magazine

Dear Bruno

May I, through the medium of your magazine, explain the situation regarding the Parish Councilprecept for 2016-17.

The precept is the amount required by the Parish Council to perform their duties and is collected by Uttlesford

District Council as part of the Council Tax.

Over the last 10 years the increase in the amount required by the parish council has been kept to a minimum, with a
zero increase in three years and less than 2.5% in another four years.
Within Uttlesford, there are 10 parishes of a similar size to HHPC Budget 2015-16
Hatfield Heath and you will see from the table that
Hatfield Heath was the second lowest in terms of precept Village Green Admin Expenses &
and Band D payment for the last financial year. This has 12% 8% Grants
been consistent over the preceding 10 years at least, and
Subscriptions

10%

Salaries
19%

in fact the Band D payment for 2013/14 was £28.89, so a

reduction of £2.32 was achieved over two years.

What does the Parish Council do with its income? Play Area Grass Cutting
The major expense is in keeping the Village Green neat 2% 29%
Insurance
18 1% Highways
19%

Within Uttlesford, there are 10 parishes of a similar size to Parish Precept Band D
Hatfield Heath and you will see from the table that Flitch Green 20029 25.72
Hatfield Heath was the second lowest in terms of precept Hatfield Heath 21490 26.57
and Band D payment for the last financial year. This has Wimbish 15526 28.85
been consistent over the preceding 10 years at least, and Elsenham 43048 45.93
in fact the Band D payment for 2013/14 was £28.89, so a Stebbing 33430 53.35
reduction of £2.32 was achieved over two years. Felsted 66052 54.50
Hatfield Broad Oak 32048 60.49
What does the Parish Council do with its income? Newport 61430 66.32
The major expense is in keeping the Village Green neat Henham 37752 68.80
and tidy with Grass cutting and repairs and maintenance Great Chesterford 49646 85.48

This year has seen the provision of 17 allotments on the Moat Field development beside Cox Ley and we continue to
maintain the wildlife area around the ponds near to Holy Trinity Church.

Precept However this year presents us with a different problem.
Recently, each year has seen the arrival of travellers on the
30000 village green, usually just before the festival, but in 2014
25000 there were five different incursions with the Lord of the
Manor paying substantial legal costs to have them removed.
It was agreed between the Parish Council and the Lord of the
Manor to install a series of measures to prevent, or at least

20000 dissuade, the travellers and we were given police assurance
15000 that should these measures be breached, the police would
10000 act to have them moved on immediately.
The measures seem to have been effective and have
generally received approval from our residents.

5000 The Parish Council contributed 40% of the cost of the works
and as this cost was not envisaged when

0 the budget for last year was set, was taken from our
reserves, which are now quite depleted and we
2005/06
2006/07 need, over the next two or three years, to replenish those
2007/08 reserves.
2008/09
2009/10
2010/11
2011/12
2012/13
2013/14
2014/15
2015/16

We are therefore proposing to increase the precept from £23120 to £41000. This will mean an
increase on a Band D property from £27.57 to £48.66 per year or 41 pence per week. This would still only place us
fourth on the table of parishes. We hope that this information is helpful to you, but if you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the Parish Council and we will be only too happy to discuss these
issues with you.

Dear Mr Fenwick

Thank you for your letter of 16th November on behalf of Hatfield Heath Parish Council about the trial of RNP1 by
Stansted Airport.
I was very surprised to learn of the Council's concern, because all the feedback I had received seemed to indicate a
welcome for tighter adherence to the midpoint of the flight path. When I tackled the Airport Managing Director,
Andrew Harrison, he replied in the following terms:-

"I have been made aware of a resident from Hatfield Heath, who also sits on the Parish Council, who has written to
local press and published some inaccurate information in the Hatfield Heath village magazine, which has certainly
influenced some residents. We have responded to these articles with our own factual information".

I believe this may be the resident to whom the enclosed reply may have been sent. The airport obviously stands
by this reply.

Tel: 020 7219 5214 Fax: 020 7219 5600
Email: [email protected]

Website: www.siralanhaselhurst.net

I am advised that the community feedback from the focal RNP consultation has generally been positive with 66%
support for the proposals. They really have nothing to do with the NATS proposal in respect of the Dover and
Clacton routes. You will, of course, know by now that the CAA has approved that change albeit with a requirement
that daytime take-offs will have a steeper climb in order to reduce noise disturbance.

New Years Stroll/Walk

Dear Readers. Please can I ask all the dog
owners to pick up their dog's mess. I have just
walked to the shop and luckily dodged 4 piles.
It's disgusting. In fact, am I right in saying it is
breaking the law to leave it?
From an unhappy residents.

If you cannot train your dog......

New Bridges Please bag the pooh yourself! Thanks

I am absolutely disgusted with the state of the paths lately they
seem to be covered in dogs mess,. Being a dog owner I know it
is not hard to pick up after your dog, so why are owners not
taking the responsibility?????? I’m fed up of my children
running through grass and treading in it or worse falling in it.
Also when u pick it up please don't put it in bins at the
children's play ground this is not a designated poo bin...
The pictures I've added are taken right outside the village
primary school gates I'm disgusted that someone has allowed
there dog to poo and just left it there. Knowing that children
use this entrance every day...
Owners if your going to have dogs then pick up after them and
be responsible
