High Sheriff Cycles for Charity ......................... In the first week of August Charlie Bagot Jewitt, the High Sheriff of Staffordshire, and a ‘posse’ of five other cyclists, embarked on a 300-mile cycle ride around his ‘bailiwick’ (the county of Staffordshire) in aid of the Community Foundation for Staffordshire, seeking to raise funds and support the Foundation in their mission to strengthen communities across the county. The trip also helped highlight the wonders of Staffordshire as a staycation destination and, as part of his ride, the High Sheriff stopped off at several well-known jewels in the county’s crown, including Lichfield Cathedral, where he was met by the Dean of Lichfield, the Very Rev’d Adrian Dorber and the Mayor of Lichfield, Cllr Deborah Baker. The cycle tour also passed through Chillington, Kinver Edge, Mucklestone, Basford Hall, Hartington and Uttoxeter, before the finish-line at Blithfield Hall. National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas and most recently Area Officer for youth charity the Marine Society and Sea Cadets. The High Sheriff is the Queen's representative in the County for all matters relating to the Judiciary and the maintenance of law and order. Much of the High Sheriff's year is therefore spent supporting and encouraging the voluntary and statutory organisations who work in this area plus the Crown and Magistrates' Courts, the Police, Prison and Probation Services. The Office of High Sheriff is the oldest continuous secular office under the Crown and can be traced back more than 1,000 years to the reign of the Saxon King 'Ethelred the Unready' (978-1016). High Sheriffs were originally appointed to act as the sovereign's representative in their county and they wielded great power sitting in judgement at trials and were responsible for general law and order. They could raise the 'hue and cry' in pursuit of criminals and keep the King's Peace by mobilising the 'posse', the full military might of the county. Donations can still be made at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/charlesbagot-jewitt1. Throughout the route Charlie has publicised 30 ‘Enjoy Staffordshire’ attractions (www.enjoystaffordshire.com) on social media. He has also raised more than £3000 for the Staffordshire Community Foundation which has helped a huge number of local organisations throughout the Covid-19 Crisis. Charlie, of Blithfield, near Rugeley, (54) enjoyed a 22-year career in the Royal Navy before appointments including Chief Executive of the Council Encourages Residents to Recycle Right ........................ Through its shared waste service with Tamworth Borough Council, Lichfield District Council is once again urging its residents to ‘recycle right’ and waste less. After a recent increase in loads being rejected by the recycling centre, the council is reminding householders across the district to follow its advice about what can and can’t go in blue bins. To support this, the council will be putting stickers on blue bins to outline the materials that can be recycled and to ask residents not to bag up recycling. In the past the council has accepted recycling in clear bags, but from now on the council will not collect any bagged up waste in blue bins. This 30 is because it has been finding too much contaminated waste in bags once opened. The stickers also remind households that only the following items can go in blue bins: • Paper, including newspaper, writing paper, envelopes and magazines • Cardboard • Plastic bottles, tubs and trays • Glass jars and bottles • Cans and tins • Aerosols They also remind residents that recycling crews will continue to check blue bins, and cannot empty them if they contain materials that cannot be recycled or any bagged waste. To check what can and can’t go in your blue bin, go to www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/bluebins.
