Horningsea Herald August 2023

Posted on August 5, 2023 by Chris Lindley

Here’s the rainy Herald for August. Let’s hope there’s some sunshine for the rest of summer, not least for all those fields that still need harvesting.

Sunday evening we have Madrgigals on the River by Fen Edge Voices. Perhaps the rain will ease?

There are some photos of the Horticultural show and of Horningsea Village day with more photos on the village website

The deadline for registering as an interested party for the Sewage Works relocation passed. All comments have now been published on the Planning Inspectorate’s website. Go read them. It is heartening to see how many varied comments residents and beyond made. Over 310 comments were submitted.

The Plough and Fleece is now fully open with a fully refurbished kitchen. Here’s their scrumptious Summer menu.

Have a good summer!

Here’s the Horningsea Herald for July

HH-2023_07 Download

Next Saturday (15th) sees the 67th Horningsea Horticultural Show.
Full details are on the village website.

Here’s some entries from last year’s show.

On less pleasant events the Planning Inspectorate is now accepting registrations from anybody to register and comment on Anglian Water’s application to relocate the sewage works to just outside of Horningsea. The deadline is 23:59 on the 19th July and you will have no further chance to comment. However, if you register now with a summary of your objections, then you will be able to add more details at a later date.

Where they want to put the sewage works.

The Save Honey Hill team have put together suggestions on what you can object to, and what you cannot comment on, together with tips on how to write and submit your comment on the Save Honey Hill website.
