REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY @ LINTON VILLAGE HALL 
(10th November)  ‘Gravestones and Memorials of the Linton war dead’ - a short illustrated talk. Doors open @ 9.45 for coffee & biscuits. Starts @ 10am prompt and will finish by 10.30am.

“If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England.”
These famous lines from Rupert Brooke are a poignant reminder that Linton’s war dead were buried where they fell in the two World Wars. At the Remembrance Sunday service, we read out a simple list of names. This illustrated lecture at the village hall will be an opportunity to see photographs of the actual gravestones (or memorials) for all those named on the Linton war memorial. We will also see the relevant cemeteries still meticulously maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. This is a FREE talk honouring Linton’s war dead.

Parish Council
The Parish Council continues to pursue measures designed to decrease the speed of vehicles passing through Gorsley on the B4221. A Speed Indication Device (SID) is being installed at the east end of the village to monitor and record speeds. Parish Council and community representatives are meeting Herefordshire Council Highways Department officers on 29 October to present the case for speed reduction and discuss available options. The Parish Council is seeking to decrease the maximum speed through the village from 40mph to 30mph and 20mph near the school. 
Several “Unsuitable for Heavy Goods Vehicles” signs will soon be installed in the parish, following Herefordshire Council approval. Some are replacing old signs (corner of B4221 and Quarry Lane and Manse Lane (x2)), and some are new (Pound Farm Lane and Burrups Lane West). 

A plot on the Gorsley Allotments site remains available. If you are interested in taking this up, please contact the Parish Council Clerk, Rich Hunt, via e-mail: pcclerk@lintonpc-herefordshire.gov.uk or telephone Detail on PDF copy on home page 
Please also contact the Clerk if you would like to play a part in serving on the Parish Council, as there is one Councillor vacancy.

 

SUSTAINABILITY AND RECYCLING CAFE

The final Café will be at Linton Village Hall on Saturday 9th November.   The café offers the usual range of facilities including;

    Recycling  
    Coffee, Tea and Cake.  
    Seed and Plant Swap.   This is very informal and does not have to be a formal swap, take some spare seeds, plants or produce and stop them going to waste. 
    Eco-Library

This is the last café for the time being as we are investigating other formats to continue the discussion.  We are also looking at setting up permanent locations for the collection of recycling items.  Please look out for these in the next Chimes.

The café is a Linton Parish Council Event.
