Dog owners will come under the spotlight as public asked for views
TEL: 07894 935952 or 07724 905406
RESIDENTS and businesses in East Northamptonshire are being asked for their views on irresponsible dog owners. The council is seeking views on whether or not Public Space Protection Orders, (PSPOs), should be put in place to tackle irresponsible dog ownership and antisocial behaviour in the district. The consultation will run until Friday, June 16, and encourages comments on the terms of the PSPOs use, alternative options and thoughts against the proposals.
ANTISOCIAL
PSPOs were introduced in October 2014 by the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 and are designed to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular area (a public space) that is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life,
ADS: advertising@rosettapublishing.com
by imposing conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. PSPOs also replace some of the powers currently being used in East Northamptonshire, including Dog Control Orders. The current requirements around Dog Control Orders can be included in a new PSPO to address irresponsible dog ownership. Dog Control Orders in East Northamptonshire currently cover the following behaviours: Failing to remove faeces Not keeping a dog on a lead Not putting, and keeping, a dog on a lead when directed to do so by an authorised officer Permitting a dog to enter land from which dogs are excluded. At present, the failure to remove faeces and failing to put and keep a dog on lead when directed to do so by an authorised
officer cover the entire district on any public land. The exclusion zone and dogs on leads orders are specific to certain areas where issues have been noted but also cover a number of sites across the district. For example, Hall Park, Rushden has a dogs on leads Dog Control Order in place. This means that if a dog is exercised in Hall Park it must be on a lead at all times. The only exemption is in the off-lead area.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Mike Deacon, Head of Environmental Services at East Northamptonshire Council, said: “This consultation is an opportunity for people to have their say on where and how we can use PSPOs to improve the district making it safer and nicer for all to enjoy.
MAY 2017 REPORTER #1 — 3
“Firstly, the consultation asks for public opinion on the current Dog Control Orders - should they be continued, altered or removed. “Secondly, we’re asking for public opinion on restricting the number of dogs any one person can walk at one time. “Thirdly, we want to know what people think of a districtwide exclusion order on all fenced children’s play areas. “Finally, the questionnaire raises a broader question concerning any other anti-social behaviour in the district which is of concern to them. “Take a look at the information available on our website and let us know your thoughts on this important opportunity.” To find out more and to have your say, visit www.eastn o r t h a m p t o n s h i r e . g o v. u k / consultations .

FUNDRAISERS have handed over a cheque for £1,400 to staff at the Oxford Trauma Unit, John Radcliffe Hospital. The majority of the money was raised during 2016 from regular quiz nights at Rushden Town Indoor Bowls Club to which some additional amounts from various donations were added. Being a training hospital the money will be put towards the purchase of mannequins or similar training equipment where nursing staff can practise inserting NG tubes - these tubes are not always easy to put in place – or for performing a tracheostomy procedure, another area where simulation is helpful.
Fundraiser Pete Austin, from Higham Ferrers, who was treated at the hospital, said: “Whichever is decided upon we are sure that helping towards the cost of purchasing such equipment will benefit many people in the future. “Thanks to everyone who gave us their support in 2016 and to those who have already done so this year. “If you would like to help us continue supporting the unit contact pete.charity@outlook.com Picture shows Rebecca Pratt, Clinical Educator, and Julie Wright, Nurse Consultant Thames Valley Trauma Network (and my former primary care nurse of 19 years ago) receiving the cheque.
RUSKIN Academy, an Education Fellowship Trust school, is “improving considerably” say Ofsted following the school’s latest inspection. The report, produced following a monitoring inspection known as a Secion 5, states “leaders and managers are taking effective action towards the removal of special measures” following the previous inspection of the school in Wellingborough last July. The report says the recently appointed Principal Angela Watts, who joined the school in September, is “improving the school considerably” and notes “a clear sense from everyone that the school is moving forward.”
Ruskin’s senior leaders are praised for putting in place a curriculum “that is helping pupils to learn more quickly and acquire greater skills” in core subjects.
Progress noted by inspectors
This is supported by school data which indicates “a clear, early improvement in pupils’ skills since the beginning of the academic year.” The inspector also noted “impressive improvement” in pupils’ use of vocabulary and “signs of better progress for pupils in mathematics.”
Mrs Watts said: “‘I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made at Ruskin Academy this academic year.”

THE East Northants Refugee Support Group is keen to point out that, despite the impression given by parts of the media, thousands of refugees of all ages continue to be in great need in many countries, including France, where many are now dispersed widely following the closure of ‘The Jungle’ near Calais last year. In particular many refugees from the Lebanon, Syria and Iraq are struggling to survive in the Dunkirk area, and many Africans are still in the Calais area. The situation has been made worse as a result of the camp in Grand Synthe near Dunkirk recently being burnt to the ground, with hundreds of vulnerable people again being displaced from their temporary accommodation. The local Mayor has confirmed that they will not be rebuilding the camp, but appealing to local cities to find them all homes. In the meantime, many people are living in woodlands and muddy areas and have lost everything. Two local groups are working hard to make a difference - the East Northants-based Helpful

Trudie of Jungle Care has said: “Please search your heart and be the ‘Good Samaritan’. “ Many of the refugees are the unaccompanied minors who were left in Calais when the Jungle closed expecting to be taken in by the UK under the Dubs Agreement. Sadly the agreement was not honoured by the UK and we have seen for ourselves children aged 12 to 14 left to fend for themselves.” More details about meetings and activities of the East Northants Refugee Support Group contact Andrew Presland on 01933 316927.
Nabbed – fine for man who dumped building waste in country lane
TEL: 07894 935952 or 07724 905406
A LONDON man who fly tipped in East Northamptonshire has been fined £717 at Northampton Magistrates’ Court. In October 2016, East Northamptonshire Council’s (ENC) waste officers found bags of builders’ waste left in a layby on the A427, just outside Upper Benefield. Evidence was discovered relating to a shop refurbishment in Leicester where it was traced to a building company in London who employed a sub contractor to carry out the works including the disposal of the waste. Contact was made with the sub contractor, Fabio Fortuna of London, who responded to a Section 108 notice stating that he was responsible for fly tipping in order to clean out his work van for the next day. On 28 March, Fortuna pleaded guilty to the offence and was ordered to pay a £237 fine, costs of £450 and a £30 victim surcharge. ENC’s Waste Manager, Charlotte Tompkins, said: “Our
ADS: advertising@rosettapublishing.com
laybys and roads are not for cleaning out litter and rubbish from our vehicles. “If you have waste from your work vehicle and you do not dispose of it properly then you are committing an offence. “Any waste material, whether that is the wrapping from your lunch or the materials or rubbish left over from a job must be disposed of properly.
TAKE IT BACK WITH YOU
“Please make sure you take it back to your office, workshop or depot and dispose of the material in the correct containers provided by your employers. “Local Authorities spend vast sums of money picking up the litter that the public drop and these resources could be used for critical services if everyone remembered that our countryside is not a dumping ground.” Trade waste can be taken to Rushden Household Waste and Recycling Centre on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 10am- 6pm.
Alternatively ENC offers a trade waste collection service for non hazardous small items, for more information on this service please call the waste helpline number on 01832 742026. If you see somebody fly tipping, please report it online at eastnorthamptonshire.gov.uk/flytipping or by phone 01832 742026. The more information you can give, the better chance ENC has of prosecuting so, if you can, please include: l The time and date of the incident l The location of the incident l A description of the person/s involved (e.g. sex, height, age, build) l A description of the vehicle used (registration number, make and model, colour) l A description of the waste being fly tipped (quantity and type of waste).

Charity festival is sure to offer so much more than just musical fun
THE Foo Fighters won’t be headlining, Adele won’t be swearing from the stage and Kanye West certainly won’t be doing whatever Kanye West does, but when the tenth annual Daxtonbury Festival kicks off on the weekend of July 14 to 16 there will be a whole host of bands and DJ’s setting out to raise money to fight cancer and other diseases. The three-day, family friendly festival takes place in fields near to the village of Podington, just south of Rushden. Originally a ‘family and friends barbecue’ hosted by Dax Miller, the event has grown to become one of Bedfordshire’s best boutique music festivals following the death of Dax’s close friend, Chris Kelly, in 2009. Since that time Dax has used the festival as an opportunity to raise funds to fight the disease that had cost the life of his friend, whilst maintaining the spirit of laughter and fun which has always been the hallmark of the weekend. The team behind the festival remain committed to ensuring that
Daxtonbury maintains the essential chill and the vibe of its rural setting. Ticket prices are very affordable, children under 13 are free and you can even bring the family dog! Bands from near and far have agreed to waive their appearance fees and rap, rock, rhythm’n’blues, reggae, occasional singer-songwriters and covers bands will all take to the stage to perform to the crowds. It is the latter aspect that makes this festival unique. In addition to the music, festival goers can try their hand at clay pigeon shooting, run the dog agility course, watch chain saw carving, craft demonstrations and take part in a hotly contested welly-wanging competition! And if all that wasn’t enough, a gallant band of Scandinavian warriors and their women-folk also annually invade this peaceful corner of rural England bringing the mayhem and madness of a Viking village to the site. Weekend tickets, which include free overnight camping, start at £30 and day tickets from just £12. Visit www.daxtonburyfestival.co.uk

THE Elizabeth Groome Music Charity has teamed up with a Higham Ferrers School. The Ferrers School has a strong music department and for the first time this year has given all year seven students the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument for free during their first term at the school. From the second term those who wish to carry on learning an instrument will need their parents to pay for the lessons. The charity has agreed to provide up to six bursaries per year to help students whose parents income falls below a set level and for whom the school is unable to get extra funding. In addition to this, the charity has also presented the school with two shields - one for the lower school and one for the upper school. These will be presented at the respective awards evenings to the students, one from each of the levels who have shown the most dedication.

Curse of the dreaded pothole and how you can help IN MY OPINION
By Andy Mercer
THIS winter, potholes have plagued the county. The County Council fills around 40,000 per year, and yet, every winter, the cold, wet weather brings another crop. As roads age, tiny cracks appear in them, then water gets into the cracks and freezes. The ice then expands, which widens the cracks. Every freeze-thaw cycle widens the cracks a bit more. When the cracks are wide enough, pieces of road material break away, and hey presto! We have a pothole! So why don’t we renew the road surface before it gets too old, and the cracks get too wide? Years ago, we used to forecast future traffic levels, and then build enough highway capacity. Instead of roads getting overloaded and breaking up, we resurfaced the old roads, and built new ones. It was called “Predict and Provide”. Unfortunately, in 1998, the government abandoned this approach. Cutting carbon emissions was the priority. (They wanted to be “green”). They reduced
resurfacing of old roads, and cut construction of new ones. This, of course, led to overloaded roads and traffic jams, but it wasn’t an accident – it was the plan. Apparently, creating congestion was going to reduce our carbon emissions. A local highway engineer was deadly seriMORE than £3.5 million pounds is set to be invested in and around the Northamptonshire villages of Overstone and Moulton thanks to an upcoming development by David Wilson Homes, The funding, which totals £3,622,600, forms part of the planning agreement for the new development, located on The Avenue, and will be used to support services and improve facilities for both new and existing residents of the village. Among the contributions is £2.5m towards the new A43 bypass, nearly £600,000 towards secondary education and £90,000 towards a community centre.
ous, when he told me that extra traffic jams would make motorists switch to public transport. (Presumably, he also believed in UFOs, fairies and the Loch Ness Monster.) Crazy or not, it was the excuse the government needed for what they already planned to do – divert funds away from the roads budget. In reality, the only way to cut the carbon footprint of Britain’s roads is with improved car engines. (That is now happening with the hybrid engine revolution.) As we approach the 2020s, we have a severe backlog of unbuilt and worn-out roads. The resultant shortage of road capacity will cause jams, frustration, extra pollution and yet more potholes. Tens of thousands of miles of roads need resurfacing, but even if the money could be found (which it can’t), there isn’t enough capacity in the construction industry. In the short and medium term, the solution is to focus on the priority potholes. Any that are dangerous or on busy roads must be filled first. When you spot them, report them to NCC on www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/ councilservices/Transport/roads/streetdoctor The sooner a pothole is reported, the less time it has to grow, and every little helps.

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR: The Liberal party was opened in 1989, by members of the original Liberal Party who were against the merger of the Liberals and the Social Democrats. The Liberal Party now has a branch dedicated to the Wellingborough and Rushden area. Its mission is to provide more services to the youth, fight for road improvements, bring the community together and listen to you. In the aftermath of the EU referendum there is a need for a progressive political party which respects the UK referendum result and understands that this does not mean the end of European co-operation; a party that wants to create a better and more flexible working relationship with both the EU and the wider world community. We need a more balanced legal system that stimulates small businesses formation and a framework for employment rights that does not threaten risk taking or job creation. The Liberal Party supports the people, we feel that we can achieve our aims. We will work hard to serve the people, honestly and fairly. We are here to listen to the people in and around Rushden and Higham Ferrers, in doing so we hope to deliver upon the wishes and aspirations of the people. “ Jack Horn

TO THE EDITOR:
As recently mentioned in the Rushden Reporter, council tax in East Northants has risen. I would like to make a general statement to register my disappointment and disagreement with this. A rise in prices should at least mean expansion or betterment of services (given the basic concepts of fair exchange of value), yet the services remain the same. They may of a high standard, but it's still the same services for now a higher price which is not fair exchange of value whereby economic concepts of risk and volatility do not (or should not) apply.
Taxes in East Northants should be going DOWN because of all the new (and major) developments going on in East Northants, especially Rushden. “keeping taxes down/no rise in taxes” was a major platform that Andy Mercer, Peter Bone, and others touted (not just in Conservative politics), with RR and others saying that the business rates of Rushden Lakes for example would offset any potential hikes in council taxes - which has now proven to be a lie (or misdirection at least), which has soured me to continue supporting them. Taxes should be the LAST thing to be raised, especially on such an
MAY 2017 REPORTER #1 — 17
unfavourable tax such as council tax that is not means tested, nor calculated objectively upon percentage of estate value but rather judgement of what band the council puts you in. There should be an opt out function, or a vote, or consultation, or better yet all services be privatised (or at least hybridised) and I pay for the services I sign up for like they do in Switzerland instead of being forced to pay for a bundle of things arbitrarily based on the councils unwarranted evaluation of my property and services they feel I should have. Essential services would not vanish or be diminished in quality. Don Kaivan.

Lure of chocolates enjoyed by all at Easter bunny blitz
THE Easter Bunny Blitz competition took place on Easter Monday at Rushden Chess Club. This was an opportunity for the youngsters in the club to compete against each other in fast moving chess against the clock. An additional bonus for competitors was the lure of chocolate Easter egg prizes. In the end it turned into a battle between Shabnavee Jeffrey and Oscar Childs with both players ending up in joint first position and Mathuran Jeffrey coming third.

SKL Division I MEANWHILE in Division 1, Rushden A found themselves up against bottom placed Corby in the final League match of the season. In the end Corby acquitted themselves well in achieving a draw. On board one Hugh Murphy won with white when his opponent allowed him to open the h-file early, castle queenside and storm the black king to eventually win. On two James Gardner unleashed a quick kingside attack in a Queen's Gambit Accepted, after his opponent placed the queenside knight on d7 and then b6, rather than the more aggressive square of c6. The attack was staved off when
St Martins Business Centre, Cambridge Road, Bedford MK42 0LF
the exchange was sacked but with no compensation for the loss of material black soon lost. On board three Saj Ganger played a solid Caro Kann and good positional play led to an end game where Ganger was two pawns up. However an over ambitious king walk left white with a perpetual check using the two rooks and knight and in the end it was good fortune that there was only a perpetual for white. On boards four and five, Richard Ellis and Keith Bristow where beaten by decent opponents. Richard was always playing catch up out of the middle game and eventually found himself
down two pawns in an end game which he went on to lose. Keith had better chances in a rook endgame however his opponent rolled his pawns down the board that bit faster and Keith was soon mated with his own pawn just short of the queening square. Chess is a game for people of all abilities, disabilities, and life styles. Rushden Chess Club loves welcoming new members, so do come along to a meeting if you are interested in playing chess in a very friendly environment.

MAY IN THE GARDEN – by Milton Ernest Garden Centre
Summer tubs and hanging baskets
T’S May so time to get those patio pots and hanging baskets planted to enjoy all summer and it is very exciting. The plant breeders have been busy and so I am able to tell you about some amazing new varieties to delight you. With the fungus problem that occurred four years ago in Busy Lizzies we have been encouraged to plant Begonias instead. They perform very well in tubs and hanging baskets especially on a sunny or partly shaded patio and will sustain periods of drought. A really good new variety is Funky Pink which will give an outstanding display in hanging baskets. It is covered in masses of double pink flowers all season. For pots and shallow planters Begonia Nonstop Joy Yellow is a lovely compact variety with beautiful foliage. It is compact and grows to form a neat brightly coloured mound like a ray of sunshine in a pot on the patio. Petunias are well known for the continuous flowering display they give for the whole summer and into the autumn until the frosts come in November. We are familiar with the trailing Surfinia Petunias which if kept watered and fed with a liquid
I
plant food will trail down by one metre from the basket. There are now many vibrant colours to choose from but another group are the Fanfare Petunias. This group is more compact forming amazing cushions in tubs or hug the hanging basket giving a ball effect with a mass of flower. Petunia Amore Queen of Hearts is a stunning variety with yellow and red flowers with five striking rosy red hearts on each flower. It flowers its heart out from late spring until late autumn and cascades perfectly from a hanging basket. Another outstanding new variety is Petunia Night Sky. The flowers are deep purple blue with white speckles creating a clear night sky effect. Each flower is unique in patterning making an eye catching display. Osteospermums are tender perennial plants that are grown in the UK as summer bedding plants like geraniums and fuchsias. If you can protect them over winter you can propagate the following spring from cuttings. Osteospermum Rioja Red is compact and smothered in deep red daisy flowers from late spring to the first frosts in the autumn. Keep removing fading flowers to ensure continuous flowering.
These are impressive plants for the front of a border and patio pots. It also looks good in sunny herbaceous borders. Osteospermum Sunset, yellow and orange and O. Blue Sunrise yellow and pearly pink are two more single daisy varieties whereas O. Berry White and O. White Lemon have double flowers. Nemesia Plums and Custard is a stunning strong compact plant for tubs on a sunny patio or front of the border. Plant in good compost and this
Nemesia will flower all summer into the autumn. The flowers are bi colour deep violet and luscious buttery yellow and very sweetly scented. With the recent selective breeding of Nemesias there are now many lovely varieties. N. Amelia pale pink, N. Wisley Vanilla white, N. Easter Bonnet white and pale mauve and N. Mirabelle which is pale lilac in the paler shades and N. Bordeaux deep rose, N. Fleurie Blue purple blue and white and N. Raspberries and Cream white and deep rosy red the stronger colours. If you haven’t yet grown these bedding plants I recommend you give them a try. Cosmas Casanova is a new group of Cosmos. They are short compact much branching plants which work better in bedding schemes than earlier varieties. The foliage is very attractive fern like and bright green. The flowers are perfect single daisies in white, pink, red and violet all summer. Remove the flowers as they fade to keep the fresh flowers coming by cutting back to the first leaf. I am really looking forward to trying some of these exciting new varieties this summer and I hope you will too.

King Lear in Brooklyn St Peter’s Church, Oundle 7–8pm Sunday June 4
One of the world’s leading Shakespearean actors, Michael Pennington has appeared triumphantly as King Lear in New York in 2014, his performance on a par with his great predecessors, Paul Scofield and Sir John Gielgud. King Lear in Brooklyn, published in June 2016, is Pennington’s meditations on grappling with Shakespeare’s greatest role, and gives a fascinating insight into the punishing mental and physical impact the role can have on those who are brave enough to take on the challenge. Containing sharp reportage on the time he spent in Brooklyn, Pennington examines the relationships between the cast and the characters they play, and explores the director’s approach to Lear and that of the other actors. We see the production develop and unfurl through the eyes of an English actor playing the lead in an

otherwise all-American cast. King Lear in Brooklyn includes a transcript of a conversation between the author and Sir Ian McKellen, and gives an enthralling account of the circumstances and fortunes of the New York production. Pennington dispels the idea of this great play as forbidding and remote, by bringing its characters vividly into the present in their contemporary voices, to explain their reactions, strategies, and struggles on the way to the production’s acclaimed success. Funny, personal and deeply honest, Pennington’s account is also probing and scholarly – there is no greater insight into Shakespeare’s greatest role. This is the work of one of our most sublime actorwriters at the top of his game. In response to Michael’s latest book, the actor Kenneth Branagh has said, “Michael Pennington is a great actor, and a great writer about actors and acting. This book has all the wit, wisdom and passion that characterises his performances. Here is a page-turning artistic journey to an undiscovered country on the map, and in the mind. It brings with it all the touchingly complex humanity that the author finds in King Lear itself. ”

"Juno at JuPiter: tHe MiSSion and FirSt reSultS” Lecture by Dr Jonathan Nichols
Reader in Planetary Auroras, Leicester University
Monday, 15 May 2017 at 8.00 pm Chelveston village Hall, Caldecott road Chelveston nn9 6at
Dr Nichols talk will be focused on the NASA Juno mission. Leicester University is the UK’s sole formal involvement in this research. From Galileo’s revolutionary observations of its system of satellites to hypotheses regarding its role in delivering water to the young Earth, Jupiter has played a distinguished role in furthering our understanding of our place in the cosmos. However, many mysteries remain about the king planet, such as the nature of its interior structure, the abundance of water in its atmosphere, and the behaviour of its mighty magnetic field. Visitors and Members welcome. £3 per person including tea/coffee and biscuits. Further information from Steve Williams on 01933 650331 or e-mail: chilternastro@yahoo.co.uk or Mrs Peta Jellis on 01933 356914 or email: pej@petaj26.me.uk
