HDC Local Plan Update

/in , /by

Huntingdonshire District Council is currently consulting on the revision of their adopted Local Plan, which includes evaluating potential land development sites within Hilton. Four sites have been identified in the Call for Sites process:

1. Land West of Potton Road
2. Land East of The Paddocks
3. Land North of New England
4. Land North of High Street

The consultation is divided into three key parts:

1. Land Availability Consultation – This part assesses the suitability of the proposed sites. The site “Land North of New England” has been discounted due to flood risk concerns, and the proposed number of properties for “Land West of Potton Road” has been reduced.

2. Sustainability Appraisal – This section evaluates Hilton’s sustainability by assessing how the village scores against various criteria.

3. Further Issues and Options Paper – This explores potential strategies and policy areas for the Local Plan.

For more detailed information and to participate in the consultation, you can visit the following portals:
– Consultation Portal: Huntingdonshire Council Consultation Portal
– Let’s Talk Huntingdonshire website: Let’s Talk Huntingdonshire

Throughout October, drop-in sessions are being held from 2pm to 8pm, where residents can view the Local Plan documents, ask questions, and provide input. The sessions have been advertised on local noticeboards, the council’s website, and their Facebook page.

  • 8th October: Queens Park Hall, Yaxley
  • 10th October: Civic Suite, Pathfinder House, Huntingdon
  • 15th October: Burleigh Hill Community Centre, St Ives
  • 21st October: Sawtry Women’s Institute
  • 22th October: Kimbolton Scout Hut
  • 28th October: Love’s Farm House, St Neots
  • 31st October: Ramsey Community Centre

Parishioners are encouraged to actively engage with the consultation process to help shape the future of Hilton and the broader district. For assistance with responding to the consultation, you can contact the Clerk.

Chicken in the Wood

/in , /by

We wish to inform everyone that our large oak tree near the entrance to Monach Farm is currently showing signs of a fungal infection known as “chicken in the wood.” This infection can lead to large branches falling unexpectedly, posing a significant safety risk.

For your protection, we have fenced off the area around the tree. We kindly ask that you do not cross the fencing under any circumstances until the tree has been inspected and assessed by an expert.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

HILTON CRICKET CLUB WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU

/in , /by

Hilton has had a long tradition of village cricket on the Green.

After many successful years in the Noughties and Teenies, fewer players became available, as some went off to university, others became senior citizens and quite a few moved away from Hilton. For a while, our friends from other villages helped us to keep the tradition going, but the time has come for new blood and fresh minds to run the Club.

In the last couple of years, the turnout and enthusiasm for Cricket at Feast Week indicates that Hilton is ready to give its Cricket Club a rebirth.
• Perhaps you have run a sports club before
• Maybe you are a parent of cricket-loving children
• Perhaps you are a mean batter or a demon bowler yourself
• Maybe you are one of our treasured community volunteers

If you are any of these, or would just like to help, please come to a meeting in the Pavilion on Thursday 20th June at 8.00 pm
(If you cannot make the meeting, but want to be involved, please email )
Thank you. Allan Salem (Hon Secretary)
