Tony North our Postie

As you will probably know our Postman Tony North is retiring and his last
day of duty will be next Tuesday.
 
At the Annual Parish Meeting to be held in the Parish Hall on Monday 28th
May there will be an opportunity to wish Tony a very happy retirement (a
separate note from John Brooks, Parish Clerk is in circulation re. this)
 
We have organised a collection for Tony and as he wishes to do some
travelling once he has settled into retirement, it was thought best
that some small gifts could be purchased and the rest given to him towards
his travel plans.
 
Tony will be working right up to the last minute, but he will be in the Post
Office on Tuesday 22nd May at 12 noon where we are hoping that he can
spend a short while with Frank Bell and Julia Culley former Post Master and
Mistress and  the current Post Mistress Janette Emery. A representative from
The Hampshire Chronicle will also be on hand to talk to Tony.
 
As a lifelong resident of Hursley village, Cice Bull has kindly agreed to
present Tony with his gifts both here at the Post Office on 22nd May and at
the Parish Meeting on the 28th.
 
The collection is still open for anyone who would like to contribute and
sign the card if you haven't already done so. Many thanks to those who have
already contributed.  
We would be pleased to see anyone who would like to pop in and say 'Hello
and Goodbye' here next Tuesday.
 
Kind Regards - The Hursley Post Office Team

Meet our new Lengthsman

Lengthsman

Chris Sparkes has been appointed as Lengthsman to a consortium of local parishes led by Otterbourne and Twyford.  The scheme is funded by Hampshire County Council who set the ground rules for the work undertaken by the Lengthsman, but the scheduling and work programmes are decided by the parishes.  Chris will be working in Hursley  from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16 May.

The scheme is already underway, with Otterbourne receiving the first visit from Chris.  The photo shows him with County Councillor Charlotte Bailey, who has been actively supporting the programme for several years.  Hursley and Otterbourne had asked to be included in an earlier pilot, so we are pleased to have been included this time round.

HCC has allocated £1000 to each participating parish, which works out at 3 days of Lengthsman time 4 times a year.  Chris will be clearing footpaths and cutting back edges up and down the main road through the village , and clearing and cleaning round the various bus stops and pull ins.  If time permits, he will also tackle the footway south towards The Pound (junction with B3040) and north towards Standon, although he may come back to do this later with a mini digger. Hopefully on later visits, we will be able to widen his field of operation.

The purpose of the Lengthsman is not to replace work normally undertaken by HCC or WCC contract teams, but to supplement it ways that the parish chooses.  However, he is only allowed to work off the highway.  After this week, Chris’ next visit to Hursley will be in August .  We already have a long list of tasks we want him to do, but if there is anything you want to bring to our attention, please contact myself or John Brooks,  Parish Clerk on 775552  or at clerk.hursley@parish.hants.gov.uk .

Southampton Airport Advisory Notice 4th May 2012

From the 8th May we will be continuing the essential upgrade to our Instrument Landing System (ILS) Due to the inclement weather, we took the decision to cancel the last period of works.

The purpose of the upgrade is to install a new multi channel system that will enable us to carry out future maintenance without having to take the existing ILS offline. For monthly maintenance all we will need to do is change the channel enabling us to have an uninterrupted ILS service providing route and landing path predictability in all weathers.

The current ILS will be switched off on Tuesday (weather permitting) and the new system will be implemented over a period of 10 days. During this time you may see aircraft following a slightly unusual landing path when approaching from the North in inclement weather such as fog or low clouds. These aircraft will be following a recognised back up approach procedure which is slightly offset from the normal path. Northerly departing aircraft will continue to adhere to the current “Noise Preferred Routes.” Disruption will be kept to a minimum and safety will not be compromised at any point during the switch over period.

I will of course keep you updated and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

Mike Glen

Airside Co-ordinator, Technical

On behalf of Hursley Parish Hall Management Committee, I would like to thank
Tracey and her fantastic helpers, who made such a wonderful job of the 2011
Hursley 10k that they have been able to donate funds to us. The amount donated to us of £1466.11p and this has already been put to good
use in helping us to purchase a sound system for the hall. This new sound system is available to hire by hall users but will also be
useful for community events in that it can be used by the school or in the
recreation ground for general broadcasting. We have two wireless mikes –
helpful at parish meetings, quizzes, live performances, etc., etc. Also, the
quality of output makes the system very suitable for playing music and there
is a facility to link in an iPod.

Again, thank you so much to Hursley 10k for supporting us and for helping us
to buy something that will be of lasting value to different groups in our
community. Keith Field
Chairman
Hursley Parish Hall Management Committee
