Concessionary bus fares in South CambridgeshireNEWS RELEASE from South Cambridgeshire District Council
From Saturday 1 April,changes to the concession-
ary bus fare scheme for
South Cambridgeshireresidents over 60 or with
disabilities will come into
force. The changes follow new legislation from Government Peoplewho have a pass will be able to travel for free within South
Cambridgeshirebetween 9.30am and 11pm Mondayto Fridayand all _day at the weekend and bank holidays. Anybodywishing to cross the district boundary,
for many of our residents. In the past the council has
been able to supplement the money given to us from
Government to fund half-fare travel. Unfortunately,because the Government. capped our annual budget by£2.6 million, and has only provided funding for travel
within South Cambridgeshire, we are unable to offer
any further subsidy. Nevertheless, we have been able to
negotiate with bus operators to offer an enhanced
scheme in the form of flat fares for travel across the
district boundary within Cambridgeshire.
Continued on page 7
including weekends and bank holidays,willhavetopayaflat fare of£1.80 return
or £1 for a single ticket.
Previously, eligible pass holdersSpring at last
were able to travel at half-fare
anywhere within Cambridgeshire,including Peterborough, providingthat their journey started or finished
in the county, because the district
council was able to supplement the
Government's grant for the scheme.
Councillor Dr David Bard,portfolio holder for planning and
economic development said, "We
know that the changes the
Government has made to the
travel scheme are unsatisfactory
Despite the high winds, frost, and miserable
temperatures, Spring is at last showing signs of
arrival. House martins have been seen hawkingabove Swavesey Lake, and white egrets spottedoff West Fen Road. Ladybirds and bumble bees
abound. Peacock and brimstone butterflies have
also made an appearance. We can also hear the
sound of sundry lawnmowers (and perhaps the
cuckoo, before too long). Hardy gardeners are
already planting — hopefully the fruit of their
efforts will be just as hardy. The picture oppositecannot do full justice to the beauty of the
blossom outside the Parish Church.

From the Parish Council
Parish and District Council electionsThere are 15 places on the Parish Council, and as
exactly 15 people stood for the Council in the recent
nominations, there will not be a Parish Council
election on 4 May. At its April meeting the Council
recorded its thanks to the 3 retiring members, and it
looks forward to welcoming the 3 newcomers to the
Council at its AGM on 10 May. The Chairman also
stepped down from that post and the Council recorded
its thanks for all her hard work. A new Chairman will
be elected, as usual, at the AGM.
There will be an election on 4 May for a District
Councillor, and all electors will receive notification of
this from South Cambridgeshire District Council in
due course.
Meetings in MayThere will be no 'Ordinary' meeting of the Parish
Council in May, because of the Council's Annual General
Meeting when the new Council will take its seat and a
new Chairman elected. This will be on Wednesday 10
May at 7 30pm in Willingham School. As usual, there
will be a slot for members of the public to speak.Also in May, on Wednesday 24th, will be the
Annual Parish Meeting. The APM is a meeting for the
village, not the Parish Council (although the Council
Chairman also chairs the APM). Any matter of interest
or concern to the village can be raised at this meeting,whether or not it falls within the statutory functions of
the Parish Council. The Parish Council will present its
annual report, along with local organisations who will
all be invited to provide annual reports, so if you are
not sure which organisations do what in the village,this is a good way to find out. Like the AGM, the
Annual Parish Meeting will also be at 7 30pm in the
School.
Parish PreceptThere have been several questions from parishionerson this year's Parish Precept, which forms part of our
Council Tax. Detailed figures for each Committee are
available with the Council and Committee Minutes in
the Library, but in overall terms this year's Preceptwas calculated as follows:-
Cemetery: £17,500. The major part of this is for
regular maintenance/grass—cutting, and towards the
cost of a new cemetery site.
Planning: £4,400. Most of this will go to providing a
new bus shelter.
Public Hall: £4,100. This is mainly for the toilet
improvements currently under way, and for
replacement of the fence.
Green & Boundaries: This Committee required no
precept this year, as there was enough left in last
year's budget to cover the costs of maintenance (grass-cutting), and improvements to the Green (preceptedfor in previous years). If you have been on the Green
recently, you will have seen that some improvementshave started, with the old dead trees in the avenue
being replaced.Leisure & Amenities: £39,239. The major part of
this is to go towards the refurbishment of the Pavilion,which is being planned in conjunction with
Willingham Sports Committee. The other major item
is grass-cutting on the Recreation Ground, the Jubilee
Field and round the Ploughman Hall.
Establishment: This includes things like rent for the
Parish Council Office and for use of the school for
meetings, provision of stationery, phones, etc. There
was enough left in last year's budget to cover this
year's expenses.Finance & General Purposes: £22,748. This
covers things like staff salaries, insurance of assets, a
grant to the Parish Magazine, and grants to Villageorganisations.
Using these figures and allowing for money in hand
from last year's budget, the Precept for 2006—7 was set
at £82,000.Since the Precept was set, the District Council has
passed on to Parish Councils the costs of footwaylighting in the villages (ie, all those lights which are not
on made-up roads, including any lights on footpaths) —
the alternative would have been that all those lightswould have been switched off on 1 April. The reason for
this was that while the government has capped the
Council Tax for the County Council and for South
Cambridgeshire District Council, Parish Preceptscannot legally be capped. It was most unfortunate that
this matter was raised after most Parish Councils had
set their Precepts for 2006-7. However, since yourCouncil was clear that the footway lights are essential
to the safety and well-being of the village, it has agreedto adopt the 16 footway lights in Willingham. These
will have to be paid for out of our existing Precept, but
the Council will do its best to ensure that as much as
possible of the Precept will still go to implementing the
plans already budgeted for.

Together with other Cambridgeshire councils we
have lobbied the Government to provide extra
money for concessionary bus passes. We are now

free off-peak travel scheme announced in the recent

~ concessionary bus pass that is due to expire between
April and June 2006 can continue to use the pass for
free travel in line with the new scheme until new
passes are introduced in June. Bus passes that expireafter June 2006 will need to be renewed when theyexpire as normal.
Residents can apply for or renew their bus pass at
South Cambridgeshire District Council's office in
Cambourne, the City Council's offices in St Andrew's
Street, Cambridge or at most South Cambridgeshirepost offices. Leaflets about the scheme are available at

Surgery Car Parks in
Willingham and Longstanton
yPlease respect the surgery car
parks and remind your youngsters2 that these are not public recreation
areas. All too often before patients arrive for
surgery we are obliged to clear up rubbish, broken
glass and dog excrement. These are all hazards to
health and it is beholden upon us all to ensure that our
village is clean and safe. The local police and
community support officers have promised to keep a
special eye on the surgery car parks. Please let them or
us know if you see any misuse of our car parks. Manythanks.
Counselling and Physiotherapy AppointmentsWe are very fortunate indeed to have a practicecounsellor who can offer free NHS appointments to
our patients. Only six out of the fifteen practices in
South Cambs are able to offer this service. We are also
very lucky to be able to offer free NHS physiotherapyappointments which are not available at all surgeries.
However these services are not cheap and it is
important that we make best use of the sessions so that
we do not lose them. Counselling appointments are 50
minutes in length and physiotherapy appointmentsare either 20 or 40 minutes. When someone does not
attend for their appointment or tells us at short notice
that they cannot attend that session is wasted. Please
let us know in plenty of time if you are unable
to attend for an appointment so that someone
else can benefit. It would be a great pity if we were
to lose these services.
Disposal of unwanted medicines Our surgeriesand pharmacy are authorised to receive unwanted
medicines and sealed sharps boxes from
patients. To protect our environment we ask
that you do not dispose of medicines with w
household waste, or flush them down the
toilet. By returning them to us we can ensure
that they will be collected by an authorised
contractor for proper disposal.
To minimise the amount of medicines returned
please check your supplies before ordering repeat
prescriptions. If you have more than a month's supplyat home, don't re—order that item. This will also save
money that can be used to treat other patients. Thank
you for your co—operation.
Staff members We are very sorry indeed to be
losing a long-standing member of staff, Marie O'Neil,who is relocating back to her native Scotland. Shewillbe sadly missed by us all. We welcome two new
members of staff: Sharon Unwin who has joined our
reception team and Helen Retallick who is working in
admin and IT.
Acknowledgements Our grateful thanks to the
family of Mrs. Vera Roberts who donated to the
Surgery Equipment Fund in her memory. Thank you
also to the Willingham Whist Drivers for their kind
donation.

Magazine Awards 2005
1?: Two members of the editorial team attended
'9' the presentation of the awards in Over last
Q month.
For the first time, one of the editions of our magazine(the December 2005 issue) was entered for judging.These awards have been made for nearly ten years, and
it soon became evident that many entrants had been
involved for most if not all of this period.There were a great number of magazines to look at.
Some were published monthly, and others quarterly.Several were very sophisticated in their use of colour,and others were fairly basic in their approach. Our
magazine fell somewhere in the middle. Our March
edition mentioned changes to the format. Perhaps these
will improve our value in the judges' eyes next year.
The winning entries had several things in common.
They all used photographs widely. Some could run to
May 2006
colour (at least in part). Most had fairly snappy
names. All relied heavily upon contributions from
their readerships.The chief assessor from the Cambridge Evening
News commended the high quality overall of the
entries, and found judging very difficult.
The results were as follows:
