Motocross planning application near Horley

There has been a retrospective planning application for the motocross track near the village:

https://planningregister.cherwell.gov.uk/Planning/Display/21/00517/F

This might be of interest to villagers who wish to either support or object to the application.

Caution – Is this a scam?

Some people in the village have recently received letters that appear to come from people they know in the village – these people do not know that a letter has been sent in their name. It is asking you to join a free app called Nextdoor Horley and says it is a neighbourhood hub for useful information. It asks you to download an app and gives you a code to join.

I checked with the person on my letter and they did not send it out, but had gone onto the website when they received the letter from someone else in the village.

Looking online it’s not clear if it is a scam or a money making scheme, but using people’s names without their permission is obviously not genuine. So please don’t go onto the website as your name could be used on other letters.

We have plenty of ways to share information and support each other in the village in a safe environment.

Car parking on Wroxton Lane – South end of the village

A proposed plan to address the parking issues on Wroxton Lane at the south end of the village near the brook has been put forward by the Parish Council and is described in the recent copy of Horley Views.

The plans allow for an off-road parking area for eight vehicles, a new access point and an off-road path.

Before seeking full planning permission, the Parish Council is asking all residents of the village to review this project and show their support by sending a simple email or letter to the Parish Clerk, David Beck at horleypc@gmail.com.

Please see the Spring issue of Horley Views for more details.  If you don’t have a copy of Horley Views and would like to see details of the full proposal, please contact David Beck at horleypc@gmail.com.

 

 

Covid financial grants available from the MHT

The Michael Hardinge Trust exists to provide support to the educational needs of the young people of the village.  As we have now been living with the restrictions of Covid-19 for almost a year, the Trustees are concerned that the educational needs of some of our young people may have been affected by the pandemic.  Although we do not know how people may have been affected, the Trustees have now agreed to set aside some funds which can be provided as grants where lockdown measures may have had an adverse effect on educational progress.

If as a parent or young person you feel that education has suffered as a result of the pandemic, we are inviting you to apply for a special grant which may be of some help.  Funds are potentially available to anyone from the village who has not yet reached the age of 25 and who is in education or training.  This is in line with our policy on grants.  Funds may be limited, so apply as soon as you can.

You can apply in the usual way by letter to the Chairman of Trustees or via email to mhtinhorley@gmail.com.  Alternatively, if you would like to talk to someone confidentially to see how we may be able to help, please contact any one of the MHT Trustees. All applications will be treated in confidence.

If you want any other information about the work and aims of the Trust, further details are here
