Teversham’s  Kiosk  Library  is  OPEN  It   has   taken   us   a  while,   but  with   lots   of   help   and   kind  donations   of   books,   we   are   delighted   that   the   Kiosk  Library  on  the  village  green  is  now  open.  Congratulations   to   our   competition   winners   Ozdes   and  Selim,   and   thank   you   to   Mr   Alan   Willis   and   everyone  who  came  along  for  the  Grand  Opening.    It  was  super  to  see  so  many  of  you!  !

Using  the  Teversham  Kiosk  Library  !This   phone   box   has   been   turned   into   a   mini-­‐lending  library  for  the  residents  of  Teversham  by  Teversham  Parish  Council.  !We  ask  you  to  use  it  as  often  as  you  like  and  to  respect  it  as  a  community  service  that  it  is  being  managed   by   volunteers   for   the   residents   of  Teversham.  !Here’s  how  it  works:  • Bring  along  a  book  of  any  sort;  any  book  you  

think  villagers  might  like  to  read.  • Then  have  a  look  at  the  books  (Children’s  

books  are  in  the  box  on  the  floor)  • When  you’ve  found  a  book  that  you  wish  to  

‘borrow’,  be  sure  to  leave  a  book  of  your  own  in  its  place  or  return  the  one  you  borrow.  

• The  best  way  you  can  help  is  to  borrow  books  from  the  box  regularly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                !

If  you  have  any  comments  or  suggestions,  please  write  them  on  a  Post-­‐It  note  on  the  noticeboard  for  the  organisers  to  have  a  look  at,  or  email  the  Clerk  tevershamparish@aol.com

TEVERSHAM PARISH COUNCIL! SPRING 2014 !Footpath  Re-­‐surfaced  at    

Borley  Way  !This   project   is   proof   that   by   getting   in  touch  and  letting  us  know  what  you  think  CAN  make  a  difference.  !The   footpath   going   across   the   play   area  was  uneven,  flooded  when  it  rains  heavily  and   left   a   nasty   yellow   deposit   on   your  shoes.    We  received  complaints  about  the  poor   state   of   the   path   and   set   about  finding   out   the   best   solution   to   address  the  problems.      !It  was  finally  agreed  that  the  path  should  be  re-­‐surfaced  with   tarmac  and  the  work  was   recently  completed.    The   footpath   is  now   back   to   its   original   width   and  provides  a  smooth  surface  for  everyone.        

So  thank  you  to  those  residents  who  took  the  time  to  write  and  take  photographs  of  the  path  when  it  was  flooded.  !Members   also   agreed   for   a   concrete  apron  to  be  added  in  front  of  the  tea  bar  hatch  at  the  Pavilion,  and  the  entrance  to  the  Recreation  Ground,  High  Street.    This  has  made  an  enormous  difference   to   the  many  people  who  use  this  facility  week  in,  week  out.  !

Bus  Shelter  Refurbishment  Members  discussed  a  letter  received  from  another   resident   regarding   the   state   of  the   bus   shelters   along   Gazelle   Way.     At  their   budget   meeting   for   2014/2015,  members  agreed  to  consider  replacing  the  glazing  in  the  three  shelters  along  Gazelle  Way   and   the   two   along   Cherry   Hinton  Road.    This  will  cost  just  under  £4,500.  !!

TEVERSHAM PARISH COUNCIL! SPRING 2014 !Teversham  Milestones  Project  

You   may   remember,   the   Parish   Council   was  awarded  just  over  £14,000  from  the  development  on   Newmarket   Road   to   spend   on   ‘public   art’.    Councillors   Amrani   and  Martin  worked  with   the  help   of   a   Project   Manager,   Alison   Turnbull,   to  appoint   Charlotte   Howarth   to   create   a   lasting  legacy  for  Teversham.  Charlotte   worked   with   local   schools   and   groups  

and   turned   their  i d e a s   a n d  inspiration   into   5  m i l e s t o n e s .    These   have   been  placed   around  the   parish   and  w e   w i l l   b e  h o s t i n g   a n  exciting   event   in  the   near   future  t o   o f f i c i a l l y  launch  them.  Notices   will   be  placed   around  the   pa r i sh   to  adve r t i s e   t he  event,   which   we  hope  will  be  held  in  mid-­‐May.

!Outcome  of  the  Public  Sessions  about  the  

Proposed  Skate  Park  at  Borley  Way  Play  Area  !

Councillors  were  delighted  that  so  many  of  you  took  the  time   to   come   along   to   the   open   sessions   at   the   Hope  Community  Church  at  the  end  of  February.  !Councillors  were  able   to   speak  with  all  of   the   residents  who   came   along   and   were   hopefully   able   to   address  concerns   raised   about   noise   and   anti-­‐social   behaviour.    The   Parish   Council   looked   carefully   at   all   of   the  comments/concerns   raised   for   and   against   the   scheme  and  at  their  March  2014  meeting,   it  was  agreed  to  take  the  project  forward.    The  next  step  is  to  apply  for  a  grant  of   £30,000.     The   Parish   Council   have   earmarked   just  under   £20,000   towards   the   project.     If   our   funding  application  is  unsuccessful,  the  project  may  not  proceed.  !The  parish  council  is  also  in  the  process  of  working  with  the  District  Council  to  ensure  that  the  site  meets  with  all  current  regulations  and  will  keep  residents  updated  with  progress  of  the  project.      !On  display  were  two  concept  designs  to  show  what  type  of   equipment   could   be   installed   in   the   available   space.    Concept   1   was   the   resounding   winner   (with   an   added  grind  rail  from  2).  !!!
