News on the Defibrillator

As many of you will know from previous editions of the Newsletter, there is a

group of people, led by Nicola Hibberd, trying to buy a defibrillator to be located at

a convenient place in the village. The Newsletter and Village Hall Committee both

strongly support this very worthwhile project. It could, literally, save lives.

The current target is 2500 to cover purchase of a defibrillator and a special

outside heated cabinet as well as installation. There will also be additional costs

for training and information sessions and it is essential that there are funds

available for replacement pads and for replacement batteries. The fund is already

over 500.

The Defibrillator Project team will be holding a Quiz Night on Friday June 6th at

7.30pm at The Plough Inn in Marsham. All the money raised will go towards the

Project so please come along and support this important venture. There will also

be a raffle on the night with some fantastic prizes donated by local businesses.

Teams can include up to 6 people. Tables will need to be booked in advance (there

are limited numbers) by phoning or emailing Nicola Hibberd contact details

below. Thank you to Lynne Phillippo and Kim Greensmith for their generous

donations this month.

Letters to the Editor

The letters in this section are published unedited and do not necessarily reflect the views of the

editing committee. We see the Village Newsletter as a channel for people in the village to air their

views positive and negative.

Whilst the Village Hall Management Committee

are happy for people in the village to occasionally

park at the front of the hall they are also

concerned that enough parking spaces are always

available for users of the hall. The hall is in use

most evenings (usually between 6.30 and 10.00)

and therefore we would ask that people do not

park there at those times. We understand that

people may not know whether or not the hall is

being used but perhaps the default position

should be that it is being used in the evenings.

Only people using the hall should park on the car

park at the back.

NEWS FROM MARSHAM PARISH COUNCIL An update from Marsham Parish Council

Smell pollution from Wood Farm Composting, Marsham

On the afternoon of Friday May 16th 2014, David Harrison (our local County Councillor) attended a meeting with

senior managers at The Environment Agency headquarters in Norwich. A Marsham Parish Council representative was

also present.

At this meeting it was announced that the Environment Agency has formally and legally required the operator at

Wood Farm (NEWS) to make a number of structural improvements to the Marsham site in the hope that this will

make the composting operation compliant with the terms of its licence by the end of May 2014.

If the smell nuisance from the site continues after this date (this includes complaints from the public continuing into

June and beyond), The Environment Agency state that they will consider applying legal sanctions to the operation.

We know from the April EA bulletin, which was circulated in the previous Village Newsletter, that this could mean

anything from reducing the amount of waste that can be received to permit suspension.

The Environment Agency has re-emphasised the importance of reporting distress or nuisance caused by odour from

the site through the usual channels:-

Freephone: 0800 80 70 60 (anytime day or night - and at any location)

We now have a unique opportunity to make our complaints count. It is obviously doubly important that the

residents of Marsham report each and every time they are bothered by the foul smell. Action now could bring about

real improvements to our environment.

Exercise your right to breathe clean air! Please help stop this terrible blight on our village.
