The award was given 

jointly to Peter and 

Margaret Lines for their

community of Hatfield 

Heath. 

Bench overlooking 

great scenery 

The village hall is an 

excellent resource, 

critical to the well being 

of the community of 

Hatfield Heath and the 

surrounding area. The 

fact that the village hall is so well used, in excellent 

repair and well provided for is largely due to the diligent 

daily operational management of Peter and Margaret over 

the past 42 years on a voluntary basis.

The New NATS Airspace Consultation Due 

Look out for a new consultation by NATS into revised 

arrangements for flightpaths for the region which is due 

to be rerun this autumn. The original consultation in 

2008 was a shambles and caused uproar, not just because 

of the significance of the changes being proposed and the 

potential noise impacts on the community, with more 

losers than winners, but because of the procedural 

inadequacies of the consultation itself. 

The new proposals could be out as early as October and 

once again it will be important to respond to this with as 

much vigour as last time. Stop Stansted Expansion is 

concerned that our region is due to become the dumping 

ground for noise as a result of the routing of planes that 

we anticipate from other London airports. The group will 

therefore be issuing analysis and guidance for those 

wishing to respond to the consultation when it appears. 

See the website at www.stopstanstedexpansion.com or 

contact the SSE campaign office on 01279 870558 or 

info@stopstanstedexpansion.com. 

Massive Second Hand Booksale for Stop Stansted 

Expansion 

Stop Stansted Expansion will be holding a massive sale 

of 5000 good quality second hand books at its Campaign 

Office at the Old School House by the Four Ashes 

Crossroads, Takeley, on Saturday 6 November between 

9.30am and 3pm. Most of the books will be priced at 50p 

for paperbacks and £1 for hardbacks. A wrapping service 

will be available for those books in really fine condition 

– or from amongst the rarer editions section – if you’d 

like to offer them as gifts. More information is available 

from SSE on 01279 870558 or 

info@stopstanstedexpansion.com. 

Noise Reporting 

While Stansted Airport ’s passenger and aircraft numbers 

continue to fall, concerns about noise appear to be on the 

rise. You may like to know that there’s a way of 

reporting these concerns to BAA in a way that enables 

Stop Stansted Expansion to monitor and follow up on 

these complaints. This way, your reports will help SSE’s 

work towards improvements to noise management and 

better track keeping in the future. In some cases they 

could also lead to fines being imposed on airlines where 

they break noise and track keeping rules. 

To take advantage of the service, log onto SSE’s website 

at www.stopstanstedexpansion.com and click on the 

‘complain about noise’ link or call the Campaign Office 

on 01279 870558 for a copy of its ‘Concerned About 

Noise’ leaflet which explains more (this is also 

reproduced online). 

SSE follows up every complaint made to BAA via the 

SSE website and in around a fifth of cases this Renee yields 

something useful in terms of the campaign group’s work 

to press the airport to improve its system of noise and 

2

track keeping. People are, however, urged to complain 

responsibly to avoid compromising the overall noise 

picture statistics. 

THE 2011 COMMUNITY CALENDAR 

IN AID OF STOP STANSTED 

EXPANSION (SSE) 

Is now on sale. The full colour A3 calendar provides a 

powerful daily reminder of the communities, 

countryside and heritage which lie in the shadow of 

Stansted Airport and of the need to remain vigilant 

against the expansion 

threat (colour picture 

of the Calendar on 

the back page ) . Each 

month features a 

different village (or 

adjoining villages) 

with three beautiful 

pictures. The cover 

features a spectacular 

picture of a bluebell 

wood in Much 

Hadham. 

Now in its ninth year, 

the Community 

Calendar has become 

an established part of 

life for many people as a symbol of determination to 

preserve the heritage and community life which makes 

the area so special. All proceeds go to continuing the 

work of SSE as it seeks long term safeguards against 

the expansion threat and its work to contain the 

impacts of the airport’s current operations. 

The calendars cost £6 each .

Hatfield Heath Neighbourhood Watch and 

Police Update 

Since our meeting at the URC back in January 2010 we 

have been very busy putting together a neighbourhood 

watch scheme alongside Paula O’Sullivan and Val 

Davenport who have worked extremely hard at putting the 

scheme together. I am glad to say we now have 

a large number of residents on the 

scheme but still a number of people 

have not registered. If you are 

interested in registering it does not 

take long nor does it take up a lot of time. 

Statistics show that communities with Neighbourhood 

Watch Schemes have less crime because the criminals 

would rather target areas where they are less likely to be 

seen. 

Neighbourhood Watch Schemes belong to the community 

and all we ask of you is to be more observant, report 

anything suspicious to Police on non-emergency 

telephone: 0300 333 4444 or any crime in action on 999. 

By letting the Police know of anything suspicious they see 

or hear, they are helping to reduce the opportunities for 

crime to occur. The more difficult it can be made for the 

criminal, the more likely it is that crime can be reduced. 

Neighbourhood Watch is not just about reducing crime 

– it is about building community spirit and good

Police Update 

House burglaries across Uttlesford district have 

decreased by over 15 percent comparing May to July this 

year, with May to July last year. However, some villages 

in Uttlesford, which generally have very low crime rates, 

have been suffering a higher than usual incidence of 

house burglaries recently, and local police and 

Neighbourhood Watch are asking residents to be more 

vigilant. 

"Burglaries in villages are seldom carried out by local 

criminals any more," said Uttlesford district Crime 

Reduction Advisor, Peter Caulfield. "The burglars are 

opportunists who will travel many miles to find suitable 

targets." 

Peter Caulfield 

Peter thinks that the fact they are 'outsiders' should make 

them easier to spot and he is asking villagers to be more 

alert to the presence of strangers.

"If you see an unfamiliar vehicle parked in your street, 

or an unfamiliar person on someone's driveway, it 

doesn't necessarily mean they are up to no good. 

However your curiosity should be aroused and it would 

be useful if you made a note of what you have seen, 

including vehicle registration numbers. Burglars don't 

like being noticed and if they become aware of your 

interest they will usually move on." 

He also sees nothing wrong with villagers politely 

challenging strangers. 

"It doesn't have to be confrontational in any way," he 

said. "Just a polite enquiry to see if they are lost, or need 

help locating someone. If they are up to no good, they 

will more than likely make their excuses and leave the 

area."

RAISING THE ALARM ON 

SECURITY COLD CALLERS 

Essex County Council Trading Standards is urging 

residents to be wary if they are contacted by a security 

company called Crime Research UK. 

Reports have been received that this company has been 

contacting residents and saying that they are working with 

Essex County Council on a ‘crime awareness week’. 

Essex County Council would like to make it clear that it 

is not working with Crime Research UK. 

Residents who receive one of these calls are told they 

have been selected to receive a ‘free’ alarm system, and 

are then urged to arrange a visit from a ‘security expert’ 

to discuss it further. 

Trading Standards is reminding residents to be vigilant of 

any cold callers, either over the telephone or at the 

doorstep. 

County Councillor Tracey Chapman, Cabinet Member 

with responsibility for Trading Standards said: “Please be 

wary of anyone who contacts you at home offering goods 

or services. Traders will often try and use high pressure 

sale techniques, but don’t agree to anything you are not 

completely happy with.” 

If you are interested in having an alarm installed at your 

6

home, you can find a Trading Standards approved trader 

by using the Buy with Confidence scheme. You can obtain 

details via www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk or by calling 

Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06. 

You can reduce the number of unsolicited telephone calls 

you receive by registering for the Telephone Preference 

Service by calling 0845 070 0707 or visiting

Looking back to last month (July 2010), with a total 

monthly rainfall of 0.51 inches, this was the lowest for 

July in the last twenty years. It would appear that only 

Kew, with 0.41 inches was drier than Hatfield Heath. 

With last months drought, garden creatures were finding 

difficulty in getting enough water and for the first time 

ever, they started eating our Beetroot, the roots but not the 

tops as these are poisonous. 

AUGUST 2010 RAINFALL 

Not to be outdone, August produced a record - the wettest 

in the last twenty years. 

Seventeen raindays produced 5.73 inches, which is 173% 

above our August average.

We still have the occasional visit 

from Badgers during the night. 

Recently our bird feeder, with 

peanuts, was pulled from the tree, Lady’s Bedstraw 

taken to the lawn, pulled to pieces 

and the nuts consumed. This 

late Summer, we have 

noticed quite large numbers 

of grasshoppers - I think they 

are the Common Field 

Grasshopper (Chorthippus brunneus) 

Brian Bland

Last month we told you what we were doing for 

the rare grasses and wild flowers on the County 

Wildlife Site between Holy Trinity Church and 

Pond Lane. 

This month we are 

updating you with what we 

would like to do for the 

ponds. Most of the ponds 

on the heath are set on 

gravel and consequently 

dry out at some time of the year. This provides a 

protected environment for the Great Crested 

Newt (GCN) because fish, which consume the 

tadpoles, don’t survive in the dried ponds. 

The Essex Amphibian and Reptile Group 

(EARG) identified GCN eggs in some of the 

ponds but said that the pond in the County 

Wildlife Site dries too early for the eggs to 

survive. The recommendation from the EARG is 

for this pond to be restored. 

Some task! We need to prune the surrounding 

trees and remove several, they have grown 

unrestricted over the past couple of decades and 

consume huge amounts of water. The pond has 

about 30 centimetres of silt which needs 

removing together with most of the bulrushes. 

Contractors will do the heavy work 

We are talking to local contractors to get prices 

for doing the heavy work and we are seeking a 

grant from the Big Lottery to pay for it (our first 

application was unsuccessful because the scheme 

was oversubscribed so we have re-applied to 

another Big Lottery scheme – fingers crossed). 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP CLEAR 

BRAMBLES AND UNDERGROWTH 

AROUND PONDS 

We will still want volunteers to help clear the site 

of brambles and undergrowth, build animal and 

reptile refuges and replant native water plants. If 

you are interested in getting involved contact

SEASON GETS UNDERWAY 

Now that the new school term is in full swing, the start 

of the new West Essex Primary School Football League 

season has arrived. 

Competition for places in Hatfield Heath’s school team 

has been as fierce as ever, with last term’s stars from 

Years 5 stepping up to become the squad’s senior players. 

Fixture planners were hard at work setting the dates for 

this season’s matches on behalf of the league as Heath 

Sport went to press. 

The school’s first game of the season was a tough match 

against near neighbours Takeley at the end of September. 

For match details and a list of the forthcoming fixtures, 

don’t miss Heath Sport next month.

PETER & MARGARET LINES 

GIVEN AN AWARD FOR 

SERVICE TO THE LOCAL 

COMMUNITY 

The award was given 

jointly to Peter and 

Margaret Lines for their 

service to the community 

of Hatfield Heath. 

The village hall is an 

excellent resource, 

critical to the wellbeing 

of the community of 

Hatfield Heath and the 

surrounding area. The 

fact that the village hall is 

so well used, in excellent repair and well provided for is 

largely due to the diligent daily operational management of 

Peter and Margaret over the past 42 years on a voluntary 

basis. Between Peter and Margaret they plan and execute 

routine maintenance and major refurbishment which are 

funded by user contributions and the securing of local and 

national grants. Peter is a lighting design expert providing 

voluntary support to the Heath Players, Harlow Playhouse 

and other local amateur dramatic groups. 

Margaret provides equal support front of house. Peter 

continues to provide consultancy to the Open University. 

Margaret is a past Parish Councillor, early organiser of the 

pre-school group and active supporter of Home Start and 

the Alexia Wilson Trust. They were both organisers of the 

original two day village festival for many years. 

Peter and Margaret have given so much commitment and 

assistance to people living in Hatfield Heath that the Parish 

Council wanted them to be recognised and formally 

thanked by way of an award.

Golden Charter Pre-Payments Plans 

One of the delights about living in a place like Hatfield 

Heath is being able to see the changing seasons close 

up. Outside my window is a very large horse chestnut 

tree. Unfortunately the leaf miner bugs have been at 

it, and like many chestnuts it started to look like 

autumn sometime in July! 

By October autumn proper is well under way. It is 

time for all the traditional festivities of Harvest 

Festival. Although celebrated for centuries, Harvest 

(like so many other things) was enthusiastically taken 

up by the Victorians. Harvest themes speak to us all 

though. Everyone in the village is welcome to the 

Harvest events advertised in this magazine. 

It is good to give thanks for the natural world around 

us and all the food and other benefits it provides us 

with. I was amazed to see the large number of tractors 

and trailers taking off the crops from the fields either 

side of the road to Sheering recently. How many 

meals could be made from them? Any answers 

gratefully received. 

At church recently we have been exploring the 

themes of the natural world and the environment. 

“Green” issues, global warming, climate change etc. 

may seem to be recent things. The Christian faith, 

however, has always held a concern for the world 

20

around us, believing that to respect creation is to 

honour the Creator. It is a truism at any level to say 

that all things are connected. At the highest level 

rejoicing in the wonders of the world around us, I 

believe, takes us close to understanding more about 

God and his good purposes for the word. 

Yours, 

Stewart

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT. 

The time has come round again 

for me to thank "THE TEAM" 

who produce the Magazine. 

Ivan Wybrew our Treasurer, 

Pauline Kemp our Advertising 

Manager and Secretary and our 

Diarist Margaret Lines. I 

welcome Jean Clarke who has 

taken over as Wholesale 

Distributor from Wendy Way, 

who has retired from this 

office, I thank her for her 

support. Our Editor Barbara 

Jenkins is retiring, having 

completed three years service and I thank her for her 

contributions I welcome Janet Briscoe who takes over as 

Editor from October. My thanks also go to the distributors 

who deliver your copy of the magazine every month and 

further thanks to contributors and the printers. Everyone 

mentioned is important to the continued success of the 

publication. 

A. S JENKINS (Tony Jenkins Oct 1987) 

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR.(Oct 87) 

I am very pleased to take over the job as editor of the Hatfield 

Heath Village Magazine. I have lived in the village for the 

last four years although I was born and bred in the North of 

England and some people would say that I have a 'funny 

accent'. I try to take an active role in village life and was 

recently elected onto the Parish Council. 

I would like to thank Mrs. Barbara Jenkins for all her hard 

work in acting as editor for the past three years and hope that

I can maintain her efficient standards. 

I would welcome any contributions and suggestions for the 

magazine. If there are any clubs or societies who wish to 

contribute to the magazine then please contact me on 730674. 

If you want to publicise a forthcoming event then copy must 

be received by the 14th of the month. 

JANET BRISCOE 

(Oct 1987 nowadays Janet has joined the Parish Council for 

the second time I believe) 

FOOTBALL CLUB 

Many thanks to all those who supported the Wally Day 

memorial trophy match on the 5th September, £70 was raised 

from the raffle for charity. Unfortunately, the Heath lost the 

match 4-3 against North Weald. Andrew Clayden scored two 

of the goals and the result would have been different if the 

Heath had converted the many chances which they created. "If 

we had scored mere goals then we would have won," 

confirmed the manager afterwards. Many of the players also 

complained that they had not had time to get accustomed to 

the new strip which presumably explains why they persisted 

in passing the ball to the other side. Many thanks to Footprint 

who purchased the new shirts and who are now the official 

sponsors of the first team. 

The reserve team presently boasts an unbeaten record which 

will possibly come to an end as soon as they play a game. 

The first team lost their first league game in the Premier 

Division, going down 4-0 to Hatfield Broad Oak. In difficult 

conditions, the Heath acquitted themselves well and were still 

in the match with fifteen minutes to go, but conceded three 

late goals. It is to be hoped that things can only get better. 

Finally I would like to send good wishes to cur new editor. I 

am reliably informed that she has no immediate intention of 

introducing pictures on Page 3. Remember folks, you read it 

first in your super, sizzling, soaraway Village Magazine. 

M.B. 

THANK YOU DR. WRIGHT. 

Dr. Wright retired in September. 

He has taken a surgery especially at Hatfield Heath, weekly, 

since the year dot. 

For many years this was held in a room at 'Stonedash', the 

home of Mrs. Peggy Hockley, then in the annex to rusty old 

Trinity Hall and lately in the Coffee room in the Institute. 

Many of us used this facility which was laid on for those 

bereft of transport. 

We Heath patients owe you a special debt for so many years 

dedication, David. 

We wish you a happy retirement and many years fishing, 

golfing, bowling, tennis and all the other interests you have. 

With thanks from all your Heath patients.
