The NMB update

T

he latest meeting of the Neighbourhood Management Board (NMB) discussed the following items:

Matters Arising Braunstone Park There has been some illegal night fishing and the police are working with the water bailiffs to let people know that the fish are meant to be returned to the lake and not taken away.

Braunstone Blues will be running fishing club days during the summer break for young people.

Residents Network Trips so far have been successful with more planned. A trip to Hunstanton for people aged 30+ is happening in September.

The carnival was a success with the Resnet helping to supply a carnival shuttle bus and a donation towards the cost.

The committee gave their thanks for the support of b-inspired’s Neighbourhood Support Team.

Neighbourhood Action Plan (NAP) Following a survey which asked residents about their top priorities, a report has found that dog fouling/ fly tipping and general littering was still highlighted as a hot topic. Other topics included housing repairs and mental health support. The local housing manager for LCC told the board that repair requests are being turned around in a record 7 days.

Braunstone Blues A new film club will be started at CYPFC with plans to extend this to Talk Time members. A care for carers group is being held at the Brite Centre on Friday mornings. A befriending scheme is up and running and general home visits are still being conducted.

Growing Communities Together Leaflets have been produced and 15 people are regularly growing at the farm. A steering group of volunteers are leading the project and have started to put on small events. The crop is going to foodshare. The poly tunnel is nearly constructed which will continue growing season.

Police Update General trends in crime figures are down in most areas however residents are still encouraged to report crimes. If crimes are not reported, officers and resources are taken from this area and transferred to areas with higher reporting figures. Sergeant Lee Eckersley announced that he will be moving on and will be replaced by Sergeant Darren Cramp.

LCC Housing The repairs section and housing sections have been separated which has seen a sharp decrease in the backlog of housing repairs. Changes across the city will be felt with the introduction of a 1% rent cut, which will effect budgets overall. Also housing managers will oversee larger clusters of council accommodation.

T

he Braunstone Resident’s Network Committee has been really busy of late, with the planning of the Braunstone Awards 2015 and our AGM.

raunstone History Group's Stable Museum Event at the Braunstone Hall Stables Museum was a great success. The weather was fine and we had about three hundred visitors. Of course the band playing in the walled garden added to the wonderful atmosphere. We now have a “stable boy" in the stables and a few people got quite a shock when they peered through the stable doors to see him standing there with a piece of straw in his mouth! We also have our "Vera from Braunstone" upstairs with her shopping basket and Ration Book and Identity Card.

The younger generation were quite interested in our "Born and Raised in Leicester" books which show a wide variety of old games, toys, television programmes, information on what Leicester is famous for etc. Most people were very curious about the progress of the renovation of Braunstone Hall and thrilled to see all the artefacts we have from the Winstanley family (the original owners of the Hall).

Braunstone History Group had a wonderful outing to Welford Road Cemetery on Tuesday 12th July (organised by one of our Members, Graham Lees). It is a beautiful and interesting place to visit and the view from there is wonderful. Their volunteer staff have a wealth of knowledge and are extremely helpful. We saw Thomas Cook's Grave and on a lighter note saw a grave of someone called "Daft"!

Stable boy Braunstone History Group's next Event is the ‘Heritage Open Day’ on Thursday 8th September at the Braunstone Hall Stables Museum 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. We have lots of new exhibits and thanks to Kim Gamble have more Braunstone Hall School photos with most of the children named. Come and join us and find out more about your fascinating local history, we look forward to meeting you.

POLICE NEWS

would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Sergeant for the Rowley Fields and Braunstone Park Dedicated Neighbourhood Team.

I have recently taken over from Sergeant Lee Eckersley who has moved on to work on the Abbey Ward. I am very excited to join a team that is committed to making the area a safer place.

As a Neighbourhood Team we always try Sergeant Darren Cramp to utilise our resources as best as possible, so that we can meet the demands and expectations of the Ward. I will always be proactive in my approach to the concerns of people in the area and will do my best to work with you to help resolve any issues.

Recently we have seen a number of distraction burglaries around Leicestershire, with suspects pretending to be from the water board or a similar organisation to gain access to the property. I would like to encourage our older residents to be vigilant, and to report anything suspicious to us by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.

I am really looking forward to working with the community in Braunstone Town and Rowley Fields over the coming months.

Could you be suffering from Arthritis?

rthritis is the largest cause of pain and physical disability in the UK (Arthritis Care 2016). In the UK around 10 million people have arthritis (NHS Choices 2016). Arthritis is a condition that causes swelling and pain in joints. Arthritis can affect people of all ages including children. There are two types of arthritis; osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in the UK affecting around 8 million people. Osteoarthritis affects the smooth cartilage lining of a joint which makes movement hard and causes stiffness and pain. Most common joints affected are hips, spine, knees and hands. Rheumatoid arthritis is when the body’s immune system targets certain joints which causes pain and stiffness. Sometimes people with rheumatoid arthritis can develop problems with other organs and tissues.

A healthy balanced diet, regular exercise suitable to the person and taking care of your joints will help people living with arthritis. If you feel that you are suffering from some of these symptoms, make an appointment with your GP and they will advise and refer you to appropriate services.

Thank you for having us!

We are third year occupational therapy students from Coventry University, who have been on a 12 week placement with b-inspired’s Neighbourhood Support Team. We have had such a worthwhile experience on our placement and enjoyed every minute of it. We would like to say a big thank you to the team at b-inspired and also the Braunstone residents for making the experience so valuable and making us feel so welcome.

It was very eye-opening to experience the value of community spirit in Braunstone and all the gifted and talented volunteers who have taught us so much. Thank you for having us.

Braunstone Foodshare News

I

n recent times there has been a marked increase in the number of people who are accessing Foodshare in dire need. The committee have been taking a long look at the growing membership and have had to make some difficult decisions to make sure that they are able to reach those people in real poverty. A couple of months ago they introduced a new criteria, this being that they will now only accept new members from the LE3 1/2/3 and some of LE3 6. The next change being implemented is to inform all of the current members who live outside these areas that they will need to seek support nearer to home too. The committee say “we are often told that Foodshare is a lifeline to people which is great but we want to be able to do more to help those in short term financial crisis” Changes to the benefit system are likely to bring our service to its knees which is why we have decided to bring in these changes. As you may already know Foodshare receives fresh vegetables from ‘Growing Communities Together’ however, Foodshare has teamed up with Matt from wonkyvegboxes.co.uk, Matt rescues misshapen and unusual vegetables and has started a business delivering fresh boxes to customers’ homes, Matt also supports local donations too and we thank him for his weekly donations!

In memory of Bill Hurd.

t is with sadness but fond memories that I write this memorial about the loss of a well-known and much loved community activist - Terrance William Hurd MBE (known to us as Bill). Bill passed away on the 25th July at the grand age of 88 years. Bill had remained strong and active up until just a couple of years ago, when his health sadly started to decline.

Bill was a real family man and will be sadly missed by his wife Pauline, their Children, Grandchildren and growing number of Great Grandchildren. I joined the family at his service at Gilroes last week and heard of their love for him.

Bill had achieved a lot in his life, serving in the military and the Police – even a tour of Palestine. He will be well known by many for his years devoted to Neighbourhood Watch in Braunstone and for his love and knowledge of gardening. Many probably do not know though, that he acted as a volunteer Custody Visitor for many years, visiting people held in Police custody.

An example of the kind of man that Bill was - always wanting to make sure that people were being treated fairly and with respect. He was a man with strong convictions and principles.

Bill served his community voluntarily with great pride over decades; he was one of the first and founding members of the Braunstone Community Association and became a Director of the organisation to help manage the £49.5 million New Deal programme. He devoted many hours to attending meetings and getting involved in projects and could always be relied upon to take photo’s at events. For this and all the voluntary work he undertook he was rightly awarded an MBE and you can see how proud he is receiving it in the photo.

We salute you Bill…………R.I.P.

Why we like to volunteer!

oving to the area just over a year ago was a scary prospect for my partner and I. How would we settle in? How would our young son adapt? The list of the unknowns seemed endless but we took the plunge and moved anyway. The one thing we noticed was just how great the community spirit was in Braunstone.

That led us to b-inspired’s Neighbourhood Support Base, and a group of people there who work tirelessly every day to help make Braunstone a better place to live and remove the negative stereotypes that sometimes surround it. Between us we have helped in writing the Braunstone Alert, assisted in the Resnet Garage Sale, volunteered at the Braunstone Carnival and baked cakes for events. We have both gained so much in confidence, met many wonderful people, and are far from being lonely and isolated, as we both feared when we moved here. We have made many new friends and have had the opportunity to fulfil lifelong dreams and ambitions.

Volunteering and being a member of the Resnet also means that we have been able to participate in many events that are put on for the community. Such as trips to Twycross Zoo, Twinlakes and the Queen’s Birthday Picnic Celebrations.

Erik and I would both like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made us feel so welcome and to say that volunteering has not only given us a lot of personal satisfaction but it has also given us a sense of community spirit. To anyone who is considering volunteering their time I say this: ‘Give it a go’! You never know what benefits you will also get from it. Plus there is always a supply of tea and biscuits at the Neighbourhood Support Base on Wellinger Way. Written by Kelly Bateman

News from St Peter’s Church

he month of September is a time of starting new things or even restarting things after the summer break. It can be the time for starting a new year at school, a time for restarting a sport or hobby or even taking up a new one. It might even be a time for a new diet or fitness campaign.

Coming soon…

At St Peter’s Church we will be also following this theme. On Sunday 25th September at 10.00 am, along with many other churches in this country and also those further afield, we will be marking ‘Back to Church Sunday’.

Many of you may have gone to church in the past, but for some reason you stopped and never really went back. The biggest reason why people stop going to church is that they move house and never resume the habit of church going. Sometimes it can be because of a change of job or shift pattern. It may even be that something happened at church that you disagreed with, or even upset you and you never got round to going back.

‘Back to Church Sunday’ is a yearly opportunity to stop putting it off and to go back to church. As the Vicar, I would love to welcome you back into the worshipping community of St Peter’s Church. ‘Back to Church Sunday’ is the perfect opportunity to restart this routine. Of course you might never have regularly attended church and you might have been wondering when it would be go to start. ‘Back to Church Sunday’ would also be a good opportunity for you to come along to St Peter’s; It would be great to see you. Coming to church is a wonderful time to give thanks to God for all the blessings we enjoy and to hear of God’s love for us. I look forward to seeing you at on Sunday 25th September at 10.00 am for ‘Back to Church Sunday’.

Best wishes Keith Magee Vicar of St Peter’s Church

This is Halloween!

I

t’s October which can mean only one thing: Halloween is nearly upon us. To older readers, this may not seem especially significant, as not only is it something of an American holiday it also comes just days before the far more British tradition of Bonfire Night. Nevertheless, in recent decades Halloween has become increasingly popular, particularly amongst young people, with parties held all over the world. But where, exactly, does the idea of Halloween come from?

As with many other western religious festivals, the answer lies somewhere between Christianity and Paganism. Much like holidays such as Christmas or Easter, Halloween can trace its traditions from a variety of different sources.

The word “Halloween” is in fact a contraction of “All hallows Eve”, the name used to mark the 31st of October in the Christian calendar. Along with All Saint’s Day and All Soul’s Day, All Hallows Eve forms a triduum of religious festivals dedicated to commemorating the deaths of martyrs, saints and faithful Christians. Over the centuries however, this festival began to fuse with much older pagan traditions.

Undoubtedly, the pre Christian tradition which had the largest impact on what we now call Halloween is the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced Sah-Win).

A great deal of the objects and images now associated with Halloween are taken directly from Samhain, including the wearing of masks and the carving of lanterns (which would have been made from turnips rather than pumpkins.) Although it may be very different from its ancient origins, Halloween is still an excellent way to have fun on a long winter night. So, however you choose to celebrate it, happy Halloween!

Fit for a Queen

his summer has seen the residents of Sandyhurst don there gardening gloves along with the help of Class 13 from Braunstone Community Primary to create a celebratory birthday garden for the Queens 90th birthday.

The project all began this spring when Anchor Housing released its “Queens Seeds Competition”, dishing out 90 red, white and blue seed packs to each of their sheltered housing locations to create a special a birthday display fit for a Queen. Residents along with scheme Manager Melissa went to work sowing seeds and tidying up the garden ready for its makeover, meanwhile pupils of Class 13 went about designing display ideas. With 27 entries the Residents struggled to pick a winner, eventually crowning Lillie Sylvester as the winner. Residents and Class 13 then came together to create the overall design. A great time was had by all as the students helped residents plant the flowers that they had grown whilst other members of the class sang songs from the musical Oliver to entertain residents. Margaret, Shelia and other residents now maintain the garden and look forward to making more improvements.

COUNCILLOR’S SURGERIES

Cllr Stephen Corrall 07966629285

Dear Alert I’d like you to know that I bought a bag of small orange-coloured tomatoes from the market in 2013, and I liked them and thought they were unusual, so I dried out some seeds. The majority of the tomato plants coming your way for the Growing Communities Together are the descendents of those seeds(“grandchildren” I think). Each year I save some seeds and aim to Cllr Cllr grow 2-3 plants but all the seeds come up and Elaine Halford Kulwinder Singh Johal the extra plants go to anyone who wants them.

07736194824 07736194813 The other plants grew from seeds in the compost heap, but will be pumpkin, butternut squash, melon or just possibly sweet peppers. If a garlic or onion bulb starts to sprout, then I’ll stick it in the flowerbed.

Supposedly, greenfly are put off by the smell, but I’m still testing this theory. If your readers would like to know this and it encourages them to try it for themselves, when they get a bag of particularly good fruit/veg from the market/supermarket/grocers, then I would be delighted to pass on the experience. Times are hard and if people can grow food, even a little, from stuff they’d otherwise throw away, instead of buying seeds or plants at garden centre prices, then I hope the above will show them how easy it can be.

Dear Alert I am Debbie Kenney the Community Champion at Asda Fosse Park and one of the roles in my job is to find and help groups in my community that need a little helping hand with funding, whether it be for local projects, the elderly, sporting activities or for Christmas I can help. At Asda we can help out with all sorts of community things from helping to purchase new litter picking equipment to helping pay for entertainment for an event in the community.

If you are a group in need why not contact me at Asda Fosse Park or e-mail me; Community_Leicester@asda.co.uk<mailto:Community Leicester@asda.co.uk.

The sooner you get in touch the sooner we can help.

Please feel free to contact me if this is not worded correctly or if you need more info. If you need a picture or to see who we have helped recently log on to Asda green room, type in Leicester in the search box it will bring up 4 store click on Leicester and all my stories are there.

Thank you Debbie Debbie Kenney Community Life Champion Asda Leicester

Thank you John Shipp Dear Alert

Changes to Council Tax People who have a low income may receive a reduction in their council tax, currently up to a maximum of 80 per cent of the total. So every working age household has to pay at least 20% towards their bill. Due to government cuts to Leicester City Council’s funding, we need to consider making changes.

One option is for most working-age people who receive a reduction to pay a greater amount towards their bill.

We are asking everyone in Leicester for their views on how the Council can best achieve any change in a fair way.

This consultation on the council tax reduction scheme runs from 4th August to 28th September.

Find out more and have your say online at consultations.leicester.gov.uk. You can email SDIO@leicester.gov.uk to ask for a paper form.
