WELCOME...<br />
...to the February / March 2018 edition of<br />
<strong>VV</strong>...<br />
At the time of writing, many <strong>VV</strong> readers will be<br />
working on their New Year resolutions (and<br />
some finding it a bit difficult...!)<br />
I started the new year thinking about household<br />
waste, recycling and my use of plastic, and<br />
decided to find out more, and see what I could<br />
do. I was pleased then to receive details about<br />
the ‘energy from waste’ recycling centre, which<br />
you will see features on the noticeboard in this<br />
edition of <strong>VV</strong>. This is very topical, as the<br />
government has announced targets for reducing<br />
the use of non-recyclable plastic, and<br />
encouraging us to veto the use of ‘single use’<br />
plastic items, such as cups, drinking straws and<br />
water and soft drinks bottles. I would encourage<br />
<strong>VV</strong> readers to think ways we could all reduce<br />
our use of non-recyclable plastic.<br />
On another, local, environmental matter, I<br />
recently had a conversation with a fairly new<br />
resident, who was surprised at the amount of<br />
litter down Hammersley Lane recently. She<br />
asked if there was an appetite for rubbish<br />
clearing in our community?<br />
In this edition of <strong>VV</strong> you will see the latest<br />
updates on the Ashwells development plans, as<br />
well as updates from our Schools, Sports clubs,<br />
and various societies and groups. Bill Sadler is<br />
also encouraging us to bird watch again this<br />
spring. Our next edition of <strong>VV</strong> will be the April<br />
and May edition, and by the time it is delivered<br />
