[The following was sent to the milton-news mailing list today] Those of you using an email client which shows you the HTML version of multipart emails will be surprised by this email as it’s using HTML for the formatting. This has advantages: it means hyperlinks are in line rather than at the bottom of each […]

There is another mailing list for Milton which I suspect a lot of subscribers to milton-news will also want to be on. That’s the ecops.milton list. E-cops is a service run by the local police that lets them keep in touch with the community. For example here in Milton the most recent emails were about […]

A Charity Tribute Dance to Maggie is being held at the Community Centre on Saturday 11th October from 7:45pm to 11:45pm in aid of the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. It will feature the band the 6T’s who play “swinging sounds from the sixties”. Tickets are £10 (in advance only and price includes raffle and nibbles) […]

As you will have seen if you read the milton-chat list we seem to be having a bit of a crime wave in Milton at the moment with reports of an unlocked car being ransacked on Humphries Way last weekend and house windows being broken on Fen Road (one last Tuesday night, two last night). […]

Our old friend the Cathedrals Express is back this Sunday (31/8) hauled by a train we’ve not seen coming through Milton before: LMS Coronation Class 4-6-2 46233 Duchess of Sutherland. Full timing are available online but by my reckoning you want to be at the level crossing at Fen Road at about 12:30 if you […]

The Post Office on Coles Road has put in a planning application for installation of an ATM so we will soon be able to withdraw cash from there outside their normal opening hours, using any bank’s card and for free.

Your parish council meets on Monday night after a two month break. There’s a full agenda which is available online (Adobe/PDF, 219KB) along with the supporting documents. Although there are a lot of planning applications on the agenda most either don’t relate to the village or have already been decided under delegated powers. That leaves […]

It might have been a wet year but there are plenty of seeds, nuts and fruits to see in Milton Country Park, it’s been a big year for young birds as well especially the Park’s swans. Why not join the Rangers at 3pm on Saturday 30th August at the Visitor Centre to help them celebrate, […]

The local police have produced a newsletter (Adobe/PDF, 821KB) which has been introduced to help keep local people informed about what is going on in their neighbourhood policing area, which for us is Histon. The photos seem to be a bit broken but other than that there is some interesting reading in it.
