Thoughtless Parking at Poor’s Land

Thoughtless Parking at Poor’s Land

Affecting children at Heathlands, Bergholt Heath YFC and the general public at large, thoughtless parking at the Poor’s Land Gate is a problem. The Parish Council contracts with Countrywide to maintain this land; last week they tried to gain access on 3 occasions but were unable to do so.

Without maintenance the land may cease to be fit for purpose depriving our youth and fellow villagers of a much-loved facility.

No Excuse

With ample parking available at Orpen Hall & Church car parks, all just a short walk, there really is no excuse.

Parking Issues

This is just the latest in a series of parking concerns over the past year or so. Remember you can help address this by reporting parking, even speeding, issues using Trygve. This app (iOS or Android), allows you to take a picture, record the location and record details of incidents which are then reviewed. There is an active group you can join and see what others are reporting – West Bergholt Road Violations.

The four matches on 10th September produced 3 wins and a loss. Next Sunday (17th) the club is welcoming the new season with their annual ‘Kick-Off BBQ’ with the club’s Chairman, Les, as the chosen Chef.

Lexden Saints vs BHYFC Under 13s

The 13s have seen a fair bit of player movement over the summer but started the new campaign in excellent fashion. The first game of the season saw Bergholt make the trip across town to play Lexden Saints. Last season Lexden finished 3rd in the D League whilst Bergholt finished 4th so a close game was expected.

Took Control

Bergholt kicked off and immediately took control of the game Continue reading “BHYFC Results 10th September”

Relationship Not Rules

I have become more and more aware recently that the Christian faith is far more about having a relationship with God than it is about following a set of rules.

I used to feel that the Christian faith was a set of ideals Continue reading “St Mary’s Summer 2017 Good News Update”
