Milo is crowned St Clare Hospice Cutest Canine Winner St Clare Hospice have announced the winner of their Cutest Canine Competition. This year, the canine champ that wins the crown is 7 year old Milo, a black Labrador from Saffron Walden. Milo was voted top dog out of a field of 14 lovely entrants, winning the social media competition with 126 out of the 492 votes cast. The Cutest Canine competition is held each year as part of the local charity’s Winter Walkies 5k fundraising event. Milo won a doggy hamper and led the pack at the fundraising Winter Walkies Event which took place on 27th February. Milo’s owner, Alison Saunders said “St Clare Hospice were there for us when we needed them. The Hospice at Home team cared for my Dad, Alan, in August 2020, and then helped my Mum, Marjorie with the Listening Ear bereavement support. Sadly, Mum then needed the care of St Clare herself and was admitted to their inpatient unit where she passed away in October last year. Mum and Dad had been married just shy of 64 years. It’s been a very tough time but Mum loved having Milo visit her at the hospice inpatient unit. He was ‘her boy’ .

Apologies Last month I included editorial featuring the licencing application at the local Barbers in the village and the views of North Weald Bassett Parish Council concerning this application based on the serving of alcohol. I have been asked to point out by a reader that this was not the view of all residents but only of the Parish Council. I also received a request that the word ‘Turkish’ used in that editorial may have caused offence and of course I would not want this to be the case. Of course this was not the reason the licencing application was being turned down by the Parish Council. I know residents and I am sure Parish Councillors also welcome all new enterprises regardless of ethnicity and free of any bias . Page 16
