JOIN THE ADVENTURE!
The 1st St Margarets Scout Group came into being nearly 90 years ago. As their motto says, they’ve been “in tents since 1919”!
From a small group of boys meeting in a dusty Church Hall the group has grown spectacularly. Now there is a lively Beavers colony for the under 8’s, a 20 strong Cub Pack, a Scout Troop and an Explorer Unit for the older Scouts. Such is the expansion that the Group has just been awarded a special certificate to mark the impressive increase in membership.

Fitness Tips and Class Times from GeoLifestyle - No. 4
How to beat your exercising excuses
Make sure you warm up well. Begin your warm by walking for 2 minutes and then start jogging. Run easily for about 5 minutes. Taking walking breaks when you need them.
Keep your pace slow. Do not run too quickly as this will make the session hard.
Run somewhere new so you do not get bored of your running route.
Try running some of the free 5K time trial runs in the local parks. These are great fun and provide a good monitor as to how your training is working out.
Have a go at a new exercise class. Do a workout that you have not done before. This will keep you motivated and help supplement your training.
Start to run using a heart rate monitor. This will provide a good indicator to how hard you are training and your progression.

Planning Refused for 66 Crown Road
At the planning committee meeting on the 15th of May the application to turn the former doctors surgery at 66 Crown Road into 2 two bed flats, 1 one bed flat and a studio flat was refused. This was despite the planning officer having recommended that the proposal be granted. Forty residents had registered individual objections to the proposed plan which initially included a suggestion that the development would take the doctors parking bay and use it for their own personal use. This was then amended with a suggestion that the number of parking permits would be legally restricted to two permits from that address. The committee was concerned at the amount of flats being proposed in the development which would not even have left room for sufficient space for bicycle parking for all the householders.

Letter: Why We Need a CPZ
“Some residents of Sidney Road are distributing a flier in our street summarising why we believe we cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity to become a controlled parking zone. Perhaps residents of other streets in the consultation area may be interested in our reasoning.”
