You may have heard the noise of diggers and trucks in
the fields between Thriplow and Heathfield recently.
This is the start of works to construct a new Bridleway
linking the two communities by the shortest route. The
Parish Council and KWS are each part-funding Russell
Smith Farms to lay a concrete path (at least 2m wide but
typically 2.7m wide) for use by pedestrians and
cyclists, it will also be useful for kiddies scooters
and prams. Alongside this path will be at least 2m of
grass verge for use by horse riders. The money comes
from Section 106 funds received from the developers of
Heathfield some years ago.

Towards the end of March, Thriplow Parish Council, along
with the Parish Councils of Heydon, Chishill, Chrishall,
Duxford, Fowlmere and Melbourn, received a Request for a
Scoping Opinion from South Cambridgeshire District
Council relating to a proposed Wind Farm at Heydon
Grange. This is NOT a formal Planning Application. Until
and unless the proposal reaches the Planning Application
stage, the Parish Councils and the Councillors
themselves are not allowed to take a view for or against
this proposal. If they do, their views in the actual
consultation on the application will be ignored as being
prejudiced. We can and should however, bring this
proposal to your attention.

Thriplow (along with most of the UK) is now showing on
Google StreetView. To view the new imagery, go to
Google Maps (link is
zoomed on Thriplow) and then drag the orange man on the
left and hover him over the village. Once you've chosen
where to view, just let go of the mouse button and the
photos will appear.
I know there have been some protests regarding privacy
issues concerning StreetView, so if you object to your property being available
to everyone on the entire planet to see then there is a
link in the bottom left of the screen where you can
request it to be removed. You must be viewing your
property before you click the link in order for the
report to accurate. |

Welcome to a new look and we
hope more functional website for the village of Thriplow!
If you are a new user, we welcome you too, but
whether you are a beginner or regular visitor, you'll find a
lot of useful stuff about our village on these pages.
Following the Daffodil Weekend of 2009, the Organising Committee and Thriplow Parish
Council agreed to transfer ownership of the website to the
council. The purpose of this transfer is to enable all the activities and
important information about our lovely village to be housed
in this single website. You will find many obvious links to the Daffodil
Weekend pages and their structure remains the same, so
they will be familiar to you and easy to use.
In addition, we have whole new sections including:
-
the business of the Parish Council
-
items about other relevant local government bodies and services
-
a news section and a village diary
-
information about our very active community
-
links to our local organisations, clubs and societies
-
a section which can be used by local businesses (hopefully this will grow as we go on)
-
a classified advertisement section
-
how to get yourself an email address with your name followed by @thriplow.org.uk
Some of these are already in place and some will follow shortly. We also hope to develop a capability where we can
conduct e-trading over this website, but this will come
later.
We are hoping to run this website free of charge, although we may ask businesses to
contribute a small donation for using it, so that we can
keep our software up to date. If you are interested in having a section for your
business or organisation, please let us know by mailing us
at [email].
More news later but for now, please come in and have a look around!
