ROUP OF PARISHES
A message to all our valued advertisers: One of our advertisers has contacted us
to say that a call was received from someone who said he got her details from The
Voice. This caller was very persistent in trying to sell advertising space in a
magazine which, he said, goes out free to local households. We would urge all of
you to please check carefully if you are contacted by cold callers trying to sell you
space, and please see the link below for further information.

The team wishes everyone a really good summer and I hope the weather will be as
you would like it. Stay safe.
Warmest wishes, Louise

TO ALL PARISHIONERS
Finding Hope
We've all been basking in some lovely bright sunshine recently. With lighter nights
and the hope of summer to look forward to it's a lovely time of year. But we should
all spare a thought for those for whom life is difficult at the moment, for all who are
walking in the darkness of pain.
Tragedy strikes all of us at some time or other and when tragedy strikes, in its many
different ways, whether it's the loss of a loved one or something else that hurts us
deeply; the blow can rob us of our sense of hope. Of all the possible tragedies to
strike, the death of a child has to be the most heartbreaking, devastating and familyshattering. A more savage wound I cannot imagine.
Loss of hope is absolutely crippling. So how do we regain hope? I don't mean joy or
even normality, but hope that someday life might again make sense again and be
lived without daily unbearable pain. How can we be optimistic when we know the
worst case scenario not only can happen but already has?
We have to deal with the grief and the loss and this can take a long time. Loss is a
powerful event that can't be swept under the rug. It's important to be able to talk, to
sort out our feelings: a friend, someone from the church (including the Vicar) or
maybe a support group, counsellor, therapist, perhaps even the doctor.
For those of us who find ourselves close to someone suffering we all have much to
offer. It's very important that we share our love and our support.
Eventually, we do find our way back - whatever happened to us we realize it no
longer holds us prisoner. But I don't think we ever really get over a crisis or move
on. Instead, we grow. We take all we've learned and continue growing. Trusting in
the goodness of life is part of that. And for those of us who have faith and put our
trust in the God of love, or who grow to discover and deepen our faith in Him through
all our struggles and pain there is so much more.
As we come to the knowledge that this life is not all there is and that there is a
presence in our own lives, one who will hold us close, lift us high, strengthen and
uphold us through thick and thin; we find in Him a sense of peace that could not
have been dreamed of before.
I know how hard it is, but I also know it's possible. I've seen it happen. It happened
to me.
In Him, our God of love and compassion, therein lies hope.
Much love
Revd Jane

Leziate WI meeting
There were 5 apologies for the May
meeting, mainly due to holiday
commitments. Our WI advisor, Meg
Dorling, took us through the national
resolution for the AGM in Leeds. Our
local representative, Pat Watts, also
attended our meeting and we voted for
it, ie. personal organ donations. Meg
explained that 3 people die every day
needing an organ transplant. Nine
organs can be used from your body if
suitable. If anyone decides to donate,
and therefore carries a card indicating

this, family members have to be told, so
your wishes can happen and help others
in need. Pat Watts stated that a donor
has to have died in hospital. Meg was
thanked by Eileen Baxter. Unfortunately,
member Jan Eason was away on
holiday so was unable to give her talk a
European vacation by train, which will
be given at a later date. The competition
of a holiday souvenir was won by Myrtle
Roberts, 2nd Georgy Morris and 3rd
Sylvia Webber. Birthday ladies were
Mary Besmar and Margareta Whiskin.
Raffle winner was Sylvia Webber.
At our June meeting we were very lucky
as Michael Aldiss, who is a Town Guide,
showed slides and talked about historic
King's Lynn. It was so interesting to see
old photos of the town hall of when it
was first built in 1422, and to see
portraits of famous people connected to
the town, eg. Sir Robert Walpole,
Captain Vancouver, Fanny Burney,
Charles I, Charles Burney, King John
and others. St Margaret's Church
featured with lots of olden day
photographs of Clifton House and
Tuesday Market packed with stalls.
Michael was thanked by Margareta
Whiskin. The competition of a local
recipe was won by Margareta Whiskin,
2nd Betty Alpe and 3rd Ali South.
Heather Box won the raffle.
July and August are to be outings.
September 16th is harvest tea in the
village hall.

Road Safety Charity. Our children have
been learning about road safety and
they designed posters and made
placards to take on their usual Walk to

awareness about the dangers of traffic

encouraged children to think about

GAYTON NEWS
Gayton Evergreens
At our meeting in May the speakers
were from the East Coast Truckers'
charity, set up by heavy goods hauliers
to give disadvantaged children a fun day
out to Pleasurewood Hills.
We were shown a film all about their
work, from the gleaming trucks taking
two days to prepare, the excited children
and their carers arriving, it was then time
to set off from the Norwich cattle market,
in the eighty trucker long convoy, now in
its 29th year.
Each year more hauliers apply to take
part in this spectacular occasion,
however the rules and regulations that
surround this day are vast, so a limit of
eighty is the rule.
After a very interesting program a total of
169.00 was raised by the Evergreens
for this very worthwhile cause.

Gayton War Memorial

No further progress has been made as
to the origins of the War Memorial.
Repairs have commenced and I am

Foundation totaling 1000. Gayton
Parish Council has also approved a
small grant of 290. A further

Gayton Parish Council News

Meeting held 9th June 2014
Development of Old Mill Site and
West of White Lodge
The Council considered two planning
applications an outline application for a
large development of 33 homes on the
Old Mill Site and an application to
construct a new dwelling on land west of
White Lodge. Whilst the Council
supports development of the Old Mill
Site, this is on the proviso that a suitable
and safe footway is installed as a
condition of any planning consent given
and that the Council agrees with the
proposed layout of the 33 homes, once
detailed plans are available. The
Council would also like to see
improvements made to the junction of
the B1153, Back Street and B1145, Lynn
Road within the application. The Council
also had no objection to the construction
of a new dwelling on land West of White
Lodge, however, echoed the concerns of
a close neighbour to both sites that
construction at each site should be
staged to avoid unnecessary
inconvenience to neighbours.
Website
The Council considered the website in
conjunction with its responsibility to
make its financial and other information
available to parishioners via the site in
the future. The Councillors viewed the
website of another parish council,
www.forestrow.gov.uk and whilst they
acknowledged that Forest Row is a
much larger Parish than Gayton, it was
agreed that the layout and presentation
of the website is something that Gayton
Parish Council should strive for. The
website administrator has agreed to
restructure the website for 100 and the
Council agreed to accept this.

Bus Shelter at Vicarage Lane
The Council noted that the guttering on
the bus shelter is in a bad state and
requested a quotation for its repair.
Nigel Drew provided a quotation of 195
to replace all broken and rotting
guttering. This was accepted.
Dog Fouling
The Council noted a report from Sharon
Ludford, Neighbourhood Officer at the
Borough Council, regarding the
campaign to help prevent dog fouling on
the footpaths in Gayton. Sharon felt that
the visits that she and a PCSO made to
the parish at different times of the day
and week were very positve and helped
remind dog owners that they must
always pick up after their dogs and that
a 75 fixed penalty fee can be issued to
them on the spot if they do not. The
Council was grateful for the work that
Sharon put into this campaign along with
the PCSO.
Next Parish Council Meeting
The next Parish Council Meeting will be
held at 7.30pm on 14th July at Gayton
Jubilee Hall.
For the full minutes of the meeting, visit
www.gaytonnews.co.uk.
Gayton W I
Our members who attended the Science
day at Swanton Morley had a most
enjoyable, and informative, meeting with
excellent speakers covering such
subjects as brain injuries, the sky at
night, volcanoes and police forensic
work when we took our own fingerprints.
The Flower Festival at Walpole St. Peter
was a delight with over 7000 worth of
flowers. The displays were creative and
stunningly beautiful, the colours coordinated to glorious effect. A visit which
was most enjoyable and we will certainly
go again next year.
Another visit was to Ware Hall House in
Wells, a mediaeval house which was
moved brick, beam and rafter by rafter
from Ware in Hertfordshire to Wells by
Miss Savage in order to save the lovely
building from being demolished for a
roundabout! We were welcomed by the
current owner with tea and cake before
being given a guided tour of the house.
Our various visits are fun and
educational!
Disappointment was felt that our speaker
for our June meeting did not arrive, so
Dr Penny Watkins gave us another of
her talks, this time on 'Bras', and Penny
Andrews filled in with a brief talk on her
time as housekeeper. As one member
said 'We had our two penny worth'.
We have a fish and chip supper planned
and our June speaker is coming in
August.
May I remind you that offers of bulbs,
early flowering please, will be gratefully
received in early September for us to
plant round the village.

Council Tax Banding Scam

Borough Council of King's Lynn and
West Norfolk residents are being warned
about a scam that has already seen at
least one person tricked out of over
500. A resident received a call from
someone claiming to be from the
council, informing her that her property
band for council tax was too high. They
asked her to pay 561 in order for them
to look into the matter and reduce her
banding. Unfortunately, the resident
made the payment. The matter has been
reported to Trading Standards. If you
receive a call about your council tax you
should verify that the call is genuine by
taking the callers name and then calling
the switchboard on 01553 616200.
If someone has concerns over their
banding, they should contact the
Valuation Office who will look into the
matter free of charge, (see your council
tax bill for contact details) or at
www.west-norfolk.gov.uk.

Dave
As most of you will know, sadly, Donald

has been unwell, and we have not had
the benefit of his efforts in the
churchyard for some time. So it has
begun to look rather uncared for. It had
a strim in June, but with this warm
weather with regular rain, it will be
growing up quickly. We thought it would
be a good opportunity to have a village
get together to have a bit of a tidy up,
like we used to years ago.
Dave, our long haired Ginger cat, went

walkabout recently. He has done it
before but only for a couple of days, so
we were getting worried when it went to
three and four. Luckily we heard from
Paul and Susanna that he had been
spotted in the back with the lovely Lily. It
still took him a day to get back from
there but it was a relief. He did,
however, bring back quite a few fleas.
So at great expense we have de-flead
everyone, had to get Jo in a headlock to
do her. Anyway, just to say thank you to
everyone who kept an eye out for him.
Hopefully he will stay local for a while.
Highways
Churchyard Clean Up
So, please come along on the 10th July

from 6.30pm onwards to lend a hand.
The more, the merrier!
Refreshments will be available and the
tower will be opened up, in case anyone
would like to have a climb up to see the
view!
I think that Highways have now

completed all the work in the village that
they had agreed after our meeting. They
have also been through the village
recently and are going to fill some pot
holes.
The next Parish Council meeting will be
on 14th July 2014 at 7.30pm. If anyone
has any issue they would like me to
raise please let me know or come along
to the meeting.

QEH Matters
I am a public governor for the QEH
Foundation Trust. NHS Foundation
Trusts are free from central government
control and are able to decide how to
improve their services. They are
accountable to their local communities
and local people can become members
and governors. The governors
represent the interests of the local
community and communicate and share
key information with other members.
We want to encourage people who live
in our catchment area to become
members of the Trust. You will have
more say in how your hospital is
developed for you and the whole
community. Anyone aged 16 and over,
and living within the area, is eligible to
become a member . If you become a
public member it shows you care about,
and have an interest in the services we
provide. It is free and involves nothing
more than receiving information. It is up
to you how much or how little you wish
to be involved. You can join online by
going to the Trust website
www.qehkl.nhs.uk or phone the
office for a form 01553 613142.
Many of you will have read about the
CQC visit last year and its report which
put the hospital in Special Measures.
The Trust's immediate aim is to continue
to be the preferred hospital for local
people, providing easily available
emergency and specialist services. They
are working with GPs and other users to
provide a service which meets the needs
of the local population and find ways of
improving efficiency. The CQC will be
visiting the hospital again in July and
there should be some feedback by
September for the next edition.
I have been writing regular updates in

the Grimston parishes' magazine and
would now like to include the Gayton
parishes . I am told that people find them
informative, as we all have an interest in
happenings at our local hospital.

Individual Electoral
Registration
This year's annual registration exercise
starts on 4th August and for the first time
everyone will be responsible for their
own registration. This is called
Individual Electoral Registration (IER)
and replaces the previous system which
allowed one member of a household to
register everyone who lived at their
address.
All currently registered electors will have
their name and address checked against
government records. Those whose
details are confirmed will automatically
transfer to the IER register without
having to do anything and will be
notified. Anyone whose details cannot
be confirmed will also be notified and
asked to provide additional information
in order to be registered under IER.
Households where nobody is currently
registered will be sent a Household
Enquiry Form (HEF). The purpose of
this is to ask whether anyone in the
house needs to register. If so they will
then be sent an Invitation to Register
(ITR). Their details will then also be
checked against government records
before they can be registered.
The Electoral Registration Officer would
very much appreciate householders' cooperation in making the change to IER
as smooth as possible by promptly
responding to any form received.
In the event that anyone in a
household receives neither
confirmation of automatic transfer to
IER, a HEF nor an ITR, he/she will
need to contact the Electoral Helpline

on 01553 616773. This will particularly
AYTON HORPE EWS
apply to young people approaching the
age of 18 but could also apply to anyone
who has joined a household but not yet
registered.
