Now that we are confined to our homes there are two fascinating programmes you might want to watch. The first is both fun to watch and rather educational and run by Gregg Wallace from Masterchef and follows celebrities having a dinner party and looking at the cost to the planet of what they eat.
You need to search on Catch up for the BBC Horizon ‘Feast to Save the Planet.’ It is a must see.
The second, you’ll need to search for the Sky documentary called ‘Plastic Nile’ showing the horrific plastic contamination and the damage it does to both fish and humans. Both programmes should be available for a while.
About fourteen years ago an appeal went out for volunteers to help put together a development plan for the village. A comprehensive questionnaire was delivered to every home and there was a 67% response rate. The completed plan, based on residents comments, was published in October 2008. It has guided progress in the village since then with more facilities (QEII play area, community orchard), more social events (e.g. The Feast), and many other actions by the parish council (speeding, number of lorries through the village, youth centre, etc.)
The December Willingham News carries an appeal for volunteers to produce a new plan as the original is now twelve years old and in need of updating. Please consider volunteering and help continue the improvements in our village.
