Hordle Parish Council

Serving the communities of Tiptoe, Hordle & Everton

The Parish Council would like to thank everyone who is helping others at this difficult time. We

have heard amazing stories of neighbours and friends helping each other out with essential tasks

like shopping and collecting prescriptions while lockdown has been underway which has meant

that volunteer groups have been able to concentrate on the most isolated and vulnerable people

needing support.

Local support groups have been operating in Tiptoe, Hordle and Everton and responding brilliantly

to local need. Volunteers from Hordle Church and the Parish Council Community hub have helped

people in Hordle, Everton support has been centred on the local post office and store as well as a

local Covid support group and Tiptoe have a group of local residents who are offering help in the

community. The WI in Hordle has offeredkeeping in touch phone callsto people where needed.

What have the Parish Council been doing? At the start of lockdown the Parish Council delivered a

leaflet to every household in theParish. At this time the Parish Council took on a co-ordinating

role sign posting people to get the help they needed and asking people who wanted to volunteer

to act as good neighbours by supporting local people in their area. At the beginning of May, as

requests for help increased the Parish Council set up a community support hub with registered

volunteers who were able to offer direct support to enable people to get essential shopping and

prescriptions. We are now getting requests for help from people who have contacted the

emergency Hampshire County Council number as well as those we receive directly via the phone

or on email.

The current position. At the time of writing steps are being taken to move out of lockdown.

However the Parish Council community hub is stillable to directly help or signpost people who are

vulnerable and who need help with shopping, collecting prescriptions or who are lonely.

Hampshire County Council have an emergency line for vulnerable people who do not have

support from families, friends or their local community, and who need assistance with practical

issues.They will discuss your needs and can help with food supplies and welfare concerns.

Contact details

Hordle Parish Council - either email clerk@hordleparishcouncil.gov.uk or phone 01425611119

and leave a message on the answerphone.

Please note thatwe are currently not working in the office but messages will be picked up 7 days

a week.

The Coronavirus Hampshire Helpline – Hantshelp4vulnerable - can be contacted on 0333 370

4000. (Calls charged at local rate.) The helpline is available seven days a week, from 9am to 5pm

Business as Usual – The Parish Council continue to manage public open space and facilities. The

Play Parks, Outdoor Gym Equipment and BMX track have been closed in line with government

guidance but will be reopened when we can safely do so. Thanks to everyone who has abided by

this necessary closure.

The Parish Councillors continue to consider and respond to all planning applications in the Parish.

If you want your views to be known about a specific application please respond to NFDC or NPA in

the usual way and Parish Councillors will see your comments while reviewing the planning

documents.

on inside?

IcaughtupwithHayley, who runs the

restaurant along with herhusband Steveto

What ledyou to setupyourbusiness?

My husband andImetatUni,and movedaway

to Cambridge where he ran pubsand

restaurantsand Iworkedinmarketingfor a

brewer andnational pubcompany. In 2015, we

decidedtomovebacktothe areaIgrew up in

andwantedtostartour own business. At the

same time, my parentswho purchased TheCliff

Housein2007 were thinking of theirnextmove.

So we combined ourplans,Steve andIinvested

into TheCliffHouse andbecame partnersinthe

business. Thefourofushave worked together

ever since, with ourroles evolvingwith the

needsofthe businessand makingaprettygreat

team.

Forthe lastyearorsoSteve andIhave been

lookingfor anothervenue forjustthe twoofus.

HordleFlowerClub, like many other

clubs, have not been able to meet since March

but have kept in touch by newsletters and

emails. Being affiliated to the National

Association of Flower Arrangement Societies

(NAFAS) we have access to our local Wessex &

Jersey Area of NAFAS. They have been very

supportive and issued Bulletins including ideas

for creating floral activities at home.

Recently they have held a Virtual Area Show

in place of a competition that was due to be

held at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Romsey and

open to the public after judging. As of course

this Show had to be cancelleddue to the virus,

they decided to ask members to create

arrangements at home which could be

photographed and emailed. There were various

classes based on the original schedule, but it

was agreed that there wouldbeno judging and

the photos would be shown online and social

media for all to enjoy. They have also asked for

photos of activities that members have been

doing during lockdown and will do a collage

of these later in the year. TwoShow photos

Not aNormal Year..Sadly,

HordleGardening Club likeso many

organisations had to cancel our meetings way

back in March. Weve been keeping in touch

with members andhave even had a couple of

fun quizzes to while away some time, but I know

were all looking forward to hopefully starting

our meetings again as soon as we are allowed.

How are you? And how are your gardens

growing? It has been reported that many people

have an increased interest in gardening and

growing their own vegetables this year simply

because they have more time to do so because

of thestay home rules of the coronavirus.

Whatever the reason I hope that interest is

maintained when life gets back to normal –or

rather thenew normal.

If you read my article in the last issue of Your

Village you may remember I hadbroken my

ankle rather badly. I was away from home for 12

weeks, missing all that beautiful weather, and

even when I didget home I couldnt do much in

the garden or should I say the jungle as I

was only just starting to walk again. But it was a

reminder that everything keeps growing even

when were absent, and particularly the thugs ie

those plants, and not necessarily weeds, that like

to spread if unsupervised! As well as lots of

brambles appearing, I have a beautiful rambler

rose (Kiftsgate) that over thepast couple of

years Ive been trying to train up a tree trunk,

when I got home I found that itslong and

wayward arms are flung in all directions and

certainly not around the tree trunk!

On the plus side, seedlings that might have been

removed had I been there have actually taken

hold and are easier to recognise. Echium

pininana –aslightly tender biennial more

normally seen in Cornwall or theCanaries, which

grows a rosette of leaves in its first year, then in

its second year it throws up a huge spire of tiny

pink and blue flowers to about 3 or 4 metres. Its

a real talking point, and the bees absolutely love

it, once it has flowered it dies, but hopefully

once you have it in your garden, seedlings will

appear each year. Another tender plant

appeared from .

somewhere, Geranium Maderense

possessing gorgeous, fern-like foliage and

sprays of pink flowers that go on for several

weeks. A seedling of a favouriteof mine

appeared in a pot of another plant -

evergreen Parahebe Snowcap, a neat

mound forming ground cover. And finally a

seedling of evergreen Clematis cirrhosa

Wisley Cream has appeared in the gap

between two paving stones this last one

will probably appear on our Plant Sale Table

at our next meeting. Certainly the mild

winter, and lovely spring helped these along.

TaiChi Group back in action

Sadly, in March with the Covid19 crackdown the

Hordle Community Association was obliged to

close the village pavilion. This resulted in all the

regular groups having to stop their activities with

immediate effect.

However, with the recent easement in

government restrictions the Tai Chi grouphave

enterprisingly been able to recommence their

exercise routines in small groups in the open air,

outdoors in thepark.

I am only just beginning to walk, so I cannot

do much in the garden, but I cansit and

enjoy it potter a little and plan for next

year.

Looking forward to seeing you at a Hordle

Gardening Club meeting when we restart

them itll be good to talk plants and

gardens again. Keep an eye on our website

Hordle gets 13 extra Affordable Homes

Earlier in the spring, just prior to lockdown

representatives from Hordle Parish Council

were presented with 13 bird nest boxes by

Scout Leader Colin Bix representing 17th

New Forest

South (Hordle)

Scout Group.

They were

expertly made

by the scouts

from wood

kindly donated

by Travis Perkins (Lymington).

Some of the boxes have sincebeen located

at suitable sites in the vicinity of Hordle

Recreation Ground and Golden Hill Woods,

where immediate interest was shown by

prospective

couples.

The Council, local

residents and

birds would like

to thank the

scouts for their

timely efforts

and will keep

them updated as

to how the new

families are

progressing.

At the time of writing at least three boxes

have been occupied successfully.

FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY TM (with NaturalFace Lift Massage)

REFLEXOLOGY & PREGNANCY REFLEXOLOGY

A

relatively new therapy, Facial Reflexology

(The Bergman Method) is a buzz word

amongst the red carpet and works on the

same principles as foot reflexology

stimulating reflex points associated with all

systems and organs of the body. The

proximity to the brain and cranial nerves

ensures a profoundly relaxing and subtly

powerful experience with some uniquely

therapeutic benefits.

Facial & foot reflexology treatments aim to

reduce the symptoms and effects of many

common ailments including stress,

insomnia, migraines, IBS, back pain,

arthritis, anxiety

and hormonal

disorders. Both

treatments are

extremely

popular during

pregnancy and

can be used to

help promote a

shorter, natural

labour.

Facial reflexology, however, has added

benefits besides helping your body

function at its optimum, including a

reduction of fine lines and puffiness,

rejuvenating skin tissue and encouraging a

AWARD 2020

WILDLIFE MATTERS ... to all of us

COASTAL PROTECTION,

WILDLIFE HABITATS and

DESIGNATIONS

In the near future, the Environment Agency

and the New Forest District Council will be

undertaking a formal public consultation on

the future management of the coastline

between Hurst Spit and Lymington.

Global Warming and associated sea-level rise,

saltmarsh erosion and the threat of more

extreme weather events are some of the

factors that will be considered over the next

few years. All will undoubtedly come under the

most intense scrutiny.

MCV wish to play its part in helping inform the

community and invite them to consider what

they perceive to be the most important aspects

of the changes that will inevitably need to take

place, especially, where our local coastal

wildlife habitats are concerned e.g. the Solent,

Lymington River, Lymington Reedbed,

Lymington Yacht Marina, the Lymington &

Keyhaven Nature Reserve, including such

important sites at Keyhaven, Pennington, Oxey,

Salterns and Normandy Marshes, Fishtail, Butts

and Keyhaven Lagoons, 8 Acre Pond, Iley Pond,

Iley Point, the Pans Wetlands, Avon Water,

Baskets Meadow, Keyhaven River, Keyhaven

Harbour, Saltgrass Marsh, Mount Lake, Sturt

Pond, the Danes Stream, Sturt Pond and the

lower Danes Stream.

we shall have to work with nature and not

against it e.g. involving coastal protection

techniques that aim to work with natural

processes and could include realignment,

restoration, enhancement and alteration to

existing features, but may exclude traditional

flood defence engineering that sometimes

works against nature.

The coastline between Hurst Spit and

Lymington will be considered in this

consultation and will include the Environment

Agency, Natural England, NFDC, HCC, Milfordon-Sea

Parish Council, Hampshire Wildlife Trust

and the National Park Authority et al.

Local, National and International designations,

will all be looked at under a microscope by the

various agencies and bodies that will come

together to find the most viable and best

possible outcome for our communities and

wildlife.

It is likely (as evidenced elsewhere), especially

where coastal communities have existing

floodingproblems, that in looking to the future,

MCV need you to tell us what you

consider to be the most important

aspects ofour coastline that you would

like to see protected .. andenhanced.

Is Your

Dog As

Bored As

You?

30

Lets face it, lockdown has been a bit boring

hasnt it? So much seems to have changed

now, but one thing that has remained constant

through all of this, is the bond that exists

between us dog owners and our faithful

friends. Nothing seems to faze them, and they

remain our perfect loveable companions.

Unlike us, they wont admit to being bored and

grumble about it all the time, but when you

look closely, you can often see it in their faces

or the way they slump listlessly around. That

being said, I thought it would be a good idea to

share with you some boredom-busting, fun

activities that you can do with your dog in your

home and garden to give them some physical

and mental exercise and banish the blues. Lets

get started.

The first is scatter feeding. Instead of chucking

your dogs food into their bowl, take their dry

food out in the garden and scatter it across a

metre or so of lawn. Then, let your dog come

out and explore. They will have to use their

nose and sniff out their meal. They love this.

Dinner times have never been so much fun!

play it inside or outside with just you and your

dog, or together with other family members

too.

There are actually alot of things you can try

with your dog which are stimulating not only

for them, but for you as well. Ive started a

YouTube channel dedicated to this topic, and

you can find me demonstrating some of the

ideas that Ive been talking about in this article

and more besides. Heres the link: https://

www.youtube.com/channel/

UCR7DyJtC4MatHHUoS-TcEHg

In addition to my channel, there are a number

of Apps and websites out there to give you

even more ideas. A good place to start is the

DOGO App.

Here are several others.

https://barkpost.com/life/12-rainy-dayentertainment-ideas-for-dogs/

https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/

coronavirus-indoor-dog-games

If after all this, your dog still looks a bit bored,

then why not treatthem for a walk with

Sophies Pet Care? This month, to celebrate reopening

after the lockdown, theyre offering a

buy one get one free offer for dog walks for

new customers. Now theressomething thats

sure to put a smile on Fidos face.

Another interesting diversion is alick mat.

This is a mat with a raised and spikes surface.

The idea is that your smear some yummy stuff

like peanut butter (pet safe) on the mat, and

let your dog try to lick every last bit off. It takes

ages and they absolutely love it.

But its not just food fun you can try; hide and Check www.sophiespetcare.com for more

Lockdown

Support

for Schools

from

Olivia

Inspires

The Coronavirus lockdown has had a big

impact on many charities andMilford

charity, Olivia Inspires has unfortunately

not been

immune. Set up

by the parents

of Milford

student, Olivia

Burt who

tragically died

in 2018, Olivia

Inspires aims to

allow Olivias

spirit to live on

in the achievements of others. The charity

assists disadvantaged young people aged

11 to 18 years, living in the New Forest

district, by providing grants to help them

develop their potential in STEM (science,

technology, engineering and

mathematics), the arts and sport.

Lockdown saw applications for support,

which had been steadily rising, dry up

overnight. It also meant that a number of

fundraising events had to be cancelled or

postponed, the most significant being the

sell-out Milford Rocks event, which was

due to be held on 21 March. Thankfully,

the group of Village Mums who have

organised the event are very hopeful that

it will be rescheduled to a date after the

summer.

During lockdown it has become apparent

that young peoples education has

suffered immensely and sadly, as is often

the case, those facing financial hardship

have been the worst affected. To try to

help the situation, Olivia Inspires has

contacted all of the secondary schools in

the New Forest district to offer support

targeted at the most vulnerable pupils.

Priestlands was the first school to benefit,

receiving funding for six laptops which will

be given to year 7-9 pupils to enable them

to access lessons remotely. It is expected

that the other schools will be receiving

funding for a range of different projects

very shortly.

With lockdown easing and schools

starting to open we want everyone to

know that Olivia Inspires is very much

open for applications, said Olivias father,

Nigel. We know that lockdown has been

really tough for young people, so if there

is anyone out there that would like a

helping hand to catch up with vital school

work, or perhaps improve in a sport or

artistic interest then we would love to

hear from you.

Applying for an Olivia Inspires award is

really simple. There is an on-line form on

the website which will take just a few

minutes to complete and then the charity

will do the rest.

If you would like to find out more about

Olivia Inspires or if you know anyone who

might benefit from an Olivia Inspires

award, please visit the website where you

can also make online donations:

www.oliviainspires.org.uk. If you have any

questions please dont hesitate to

contact: admin@oliviainspires.org.uk.
