Hardwick Mobile Library

Did you know we have a mobile library bus which at present comes to Hardwick on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month?

The Hardwick website and Hardwick Happenings have details of times and places the bus stops.

Books can be ordered or renewed at the library bus and the man running it is very helpful.

PLEASE SUPPORT THE MOBILE LIBRARY BUS OR WE WILL LOSE IT

Membership of Cambridgeshire libraries is free and allows you to borrow up to 12 items.

You can join online at cambridgeshire.gov.uk or phone 0345 045 5225

On the website cambridgeshire.gov.uk there is also lots of information on Cambridgeshire libraries and what is available in books and magazines, music scores, audio-visual items and Access for All.

Access For All

Cambridgeshire Libraries offer various services to users who are housebound

and people with hearing difficulties or visual impairment.

Library at Home service (formerly Doorstep) is for people who cannot leave their home

because of mobility, health problems, or because they have full time (unpaid) caring duties.

You may wish to use this service if you have no one to visit the library for you.

Contact a co-ordinator on 0345 045 5225 or your.library@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

Hopefully, other people in Hardwick will also find this information useful and use the mobile library bus to keep it going.

Martin Cassey reported on the June meeting of the Village Plan Committee and said that it will be interesting to watch how Cambourne progress as they are about a year ahead of Hardwick.

New way marker signs will go up on the Millennium Footpath to replace rotten posts and fallen markers.

Our ROSPA reports for the 4 playgrounds and skate park have been done and all the required action of repairs to keep in line with the findings will take place as soon as possible.

New updated Council policies were discussed and accepted concerning standing orders, financial regulations and risk assessments.

Reports of overgrown, dead or overhanging trees will be checked against the recent tree survey which has just been completed.

Parish boundaries are to change which will reduce the number of District Councillors and our ward now includes Toft.

The state of repair of some of our lay-bys is particularly poor and any member of the public can report potholes and bad surfaces at: www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transport/roads/ please help us get these up to the standard of our new main roads through the village.

Meeting closed at 10.50pm.
