  • More platitudes and excuses.

    How many registered patients are over 65 ( well 66 now), how many patients are listed as vulnerable.? Seems to be simple arithmetic even a year ago.

    The Health Centre serves itself, not the community.

  • So basically the Health Centre are saying "tough — we can't cope, we can't make appointments however vulnerable you are, our receptionists are free to be as obstructive as they like and we won't do anything about it."

  • News from Snakemoor:

    The orchard area has a good crop of fruit this autumn — all are welcome to pick reasonable quantities (especially the damson tree, which is so heavily laden, a branch has sadly broken off) — as long as this is done with care, avoiding damage to the trees.
    Thanks

  • Brilliant Z.C.H. meeting last night via Zoom.
    I have a few ideas.
    Adult trikes with 20's plenty embellished on wearers Hi-Viz. Great traffic calmer, 3 wheels safer than two among potholes. A group discount buying scheme & someone local for repairs, they don't fit in cars!
    Clover lawns are nitrogen fixating, drought tolerant, resists pet urine, grows in bad soil and attracts bee's.
    Collect your 'grey' water for watering.
    Any other ideas?

4:19pmAli Jeffery on Renaming Slave Hill - some thoughts
  • Secondly even in the absence of a historical association with slavery, the road name could be mistaken for a celebration of slavery. Even with a noticeboard explaining the history, drivers, cyclists etc. would see the name and could understandably make assumptions that locals feel slavery is worth celebration.

    Also if the name is to do with how hard the ground was, the name Slave Hill belittles actual slavery — the abhorrent act of taking ownership of people, selling them like objects, separating families, raping, killing them.

    Editor's comment: Dictionary definition of the verb: slave (away) (at something) to work very hard

11:08pmAli Jeffery on Renaming Slave Hill - some thoughts
  • I have a few thoughts about this proposal in the village of my childhood.
    Firstly, I wonder if the council have consulted with Black residents about their thoughts — whether Slave Hill should be renamed, what it should be changed to. Just going ahead and changing it without consultation could be seen as empty virtue signalling and silencing Black voices. To ask local Black residents what they would like to change it to would be a far better way.

  • Absolutely NOT.
    Please let's stop all this nonsense.

1:54pmIan Evans on Renaming Slave Hill - NO
  • As a resident of Slave Hill, I have received a letter from the Council proposing a change of name for Slave Hill in light of recent events. This is driven by political correctness and I am totally against this proposal. "Slave Hill" is just a name and simply reflects the historical difficulty in working the stony ground of this area — it has nothing to do with the history of our black communities.

    Please note, if you are a resident of Slave Hill then you need to reply to the council opposing the change. If they get no reply from your address they will take this as your approval for the change !

    If you do nothing, then the name change will go ahead by stealth with all the huge implications and costs this carries.....

  • Hi
    Does anyone in the village speak fluent Russian ? I support a wildlife charity who is looking for some translation and voice over. If you are interested drop me a mail for more details.
    Many thanks

  • Anyone know where I post my covid test sample? is it inside Haddenham post office? Royal Mail implies it's somewhere nearby the post office. We can't go out to check. Thanks

  • Hello... I have lost a set of silver keys yesterday, when I went to the Woodways Rec with the kids. It fell out of my pocket accidentally... I know someone took it as the lad who was mowing the grass in the field told me someone took it and was looking for the keys' owner. If anyone knows any info please email me: buildingup@yahoo.com

    Thank you
