The two priorities for the North Axholme Ward

are :-

Crowle Town Centre- Anti-social behaviour and vehicle

nuisance.

Humberside Police have now introduced a Dispersal Or-

der in Crowle town centre to help tackle the on going

concern over anti-social behaviour in the area. The Order

gives Police officers and Police Community Support Offi-

cers the power to disperse people who are congregating

together in such a way that likely to result in members of

the public being intimidated, harassed, alarmed or dis-

tressed. The dispersal area covers Potts Lane, the Market Place, Johnsons Lane and the grounds of St

Oswalds Church Church Street Crowle.

The implementation of the dispersal order has reduced calls for service and the youths are now fully

aware of its existence. Residents have commented on the reduction of anti-social behaviour in the area.

The Neighbourhood team are looking for the support of parents to address these community concerns

with their children, and for parents to take responsibility for knowing where they are on an evening and

not allowing them to drink alcohol.

The Crowle Youth Club, Street Sports and other activities are provided by the local and town council.

Crowle Town Council are currently looking into what facilities they may be able to provide in the future

for the young people.

Trentside and Chapel Lane Keadby – Suspicious incidents/fires/damage.

There have been a number of calls regarding the suspicious incidents occurring at the above locations with

persons wandering around at all hours of the day and night. There have also been a number of small fires

in derelict buildings on Trentside and damage has been caused to the flood walls.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team are continuing to patrol the area. Two males have been charged and

bailed to Court regarding theft of property from farm premises on Trentside, one of the same men has

been issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice for wasting Police time after making a false report of theft of a

motor vehicle, another male has been given a caution for theft of scrap metal from industrial premises on

Station Road and through Police liaison with the Humberside Fire and Rescue, one company has arranged

security on site whilst barns are demolition from their unoccupied premises on Trentside to prevent fur-

ther offences of criminal damage and theft.

We are committed to providing a wide variety of opportunities to engage with you on a frequent basis

and ensure consultation and agreement upon local priorities. This provides an opportunity to update you

and discuss progress. It is intended that at least one published meeting will be held in the neighbourhood

team each month. This will ensure you know where you can attend to engage and work with your local

team. Meetings will include traditional public meetings at school and village halls, council meetings and

community centres. To ensure that we consult as widely as possible we are always seeking new and inno-

vative ways of communicating with the community and welcome any views or suggestions you may have.

On Tuesday 28th September the Police Events Bus visited the villages of Ealand, Luddington, Amcotts and

Keadby in order for members of the community to visit and discuss any local issues or concerns. The

number of residents visiting to speak to the Neighbourhood Team was disappointing and consideration

will have to be given about continuing with this form of community engagement.

A Police walk about surgery is held the first Monday of every month. The next two walkabout surgeries

are on Monday 1st October 2010 and Monday 6th December 2010 and will be around Crowle Town cen-

tre. This will increase the amount of contact the community has with the local policing team and give

residents the opportunity to tell us of their concerns and relate any information they may have about local

issues.

The Neighbourhood Action Team was held on Tuesday 31st August 2010 at Althorpe and Keadby School.

The date of the next meeting is Tuesday 30th November 2010 at the same location. Although not a ‗ pub-

lic ‗ meeting, residents were encouraged to raise concerns or issues with their community representatives

( Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator, Parish Councillor or member of the policing team ) so they could

be discussed and so community priorities identified and appropriate action considered.

The Neighbourhood Team and the Roads Policing Department have continued to deal with anti-social use

of motor vehicles in Crowle especially around the Potts lane car park area. One driver has had his vehicle

seized following a second incident of careless and inconsiderate driving.

Two males have been charged and bailed to Magistrates Court regarding burglary to farm buildings in

Crowle. A male has been charged and bailed to Magistrates Court for the unlawful possession of a shot-

gun. A male has been charged and bailed to Magistrates Court for assault and criminal damage.

A male have been cautioned for disorderly behaviour. A male driver has been given a Section 59 verbal

waning regarding an incident of careless and inconsiderate driving. A second offence will result in the sei-

zure of the vehicle.

If anyone has any issues or concerns in their community or has any information regarding who is responsi-

ble for crime in our area, please can they contact PC Godley or any of the Neighbourhood Team and any

information provided will be dealt with in the strictest confidence.

Working with Pc Graham Godley are your Police Community Support Officers Paul Fearon and Wendy

Frear who regularly patrols the North Ward area of the Isle and will be happy to discuss any community

issues with you. Please feel free to stop and speak with them or alternatively contact either of us via 0845

60 60 222 or by e-mail graham.godley, paul.fearon or wendy.frear @humberside.pnn.police.uk.

The police station at Epworth provides a front counter service on Mondays and Thursdays,

between 9am and 3pm.


The Isle of Axholme Where You Live Your Local History

Adapted by Anthony Catherall

The Drainage of the Isle continued..

The drainage of the Cornish tin mines greatly influenced the drainage of the Isle of Axholme. The introduction of pumping engines brought about a new era in the history of the drainage of the Isle. The first pumping engine was installed at Misterton Soss after the flood of 1828. In 1837 Sir Robert Sheffield installed an engine draining Butterwick South Moor. In 1858 Bull Hassocks pumping station was opened and Dirtness in 1867. At Dirtness the engine was renewed in 1928 and the present electrically driven pumps were installed in 1952. Other pumping stations include Snow Sewer, Candy Farm, Goodcop, Tunnel Pits (one of the newest, built in 1962) and of course Keadby, the key pumping station where most of the Isle’s water is pumped into the Trent. The present six Keadby pumps date from1940 and can lift 102 million gallons a day, through thirteen and a half feet each. The area drained by Keadby pumping station is 93,430 acres. Engineers of the Trent River Board are constantly making improvements to the drainage. In 1972 the Skyers drain west of Epworth Turbary was dug to feed a small pumping station into the South Level Engine Drain’ Some of Vermuyden’s original drains are still in operation with the modification such as: the New River Torne the New Idle Drain from Idle Stop to Dirtness Dutch River to Goole some dry channels from Pilfrey Bridge to Althorpe. Other items that can be seen in connection with the history of drainage include, the old course of the River Idle west of Tunnel Pits the old course of the Don in Eastoft village, and as marked on a two and half one inch to I mile map showing its course along parish boundaries. Vermuyden’s headquarters at Santoft – on the left well set back from the road near the crossroads.

Flowers for Someone Special

Do you know someone special? Someone who has gone the extra mile for others or someone who just deserves something nice.

I would like to nominate Mrs Glenys Arrand of Croft Farm, Cross Street,

Crowle for this months flowers. Glenys goes visiting the sick and elderly in

Crowle and Ealand and goes as far as Haxey and Westwoodside and other

neighbouring villages. Nothing it too much trouble for her,

taking them to church, hospital or just a run out in the car. I am sure many

people would like to thank her in this way.

Thank you from a resident of Crowle Ann Culpin

The Arrow and Jackie’s Floral Designs would love to send someone special bouquet. Listen to Trax FM in the morning to hear the nominations. Let us know who they are and why they deserve a bouquet.

The November issue of the Arrow has linked with local businesses to make

the run up to Christmas a cheaper and more pleasurable experience.

Whether you want to start (or in some cases finish) your Christmas shopping; complete DIY jobs,

pamper or treat yourself to a meal out, the Arrow has everything to save you money!

What could be more convenient than the shops that are there on our doorstop? Don‘t pass them by as if

they are somehow second rate. They are not. In fact convenience is only a part of the story as to why

they deserve our support. Here is a little food for thought...Jumping into the car and heading for that out-

of-town super store or shopping mall may seem a good idea. But it can end up a time-wasting, costly and

a frustrating experience. Time, they say, is precious. But how many hours are wasted in traffic jams, just

getting to your destination – and then driving round to find a place to park In the meantime, the pennies

you think you will save turn into pounds of extra expense.

If it‘s a friendly, personal service you are after, then there‘s nothing finer than a shop or business in the

Isle! Or maybe having someone come to you; there are plenty of mobile services out there for you to

enjoy! Such attention is a tradition that has its roots embedded in the history of each village and hamlet in

the area.

The recent economic downturn has also had an impact on the local economy, which is why it is more

important than ever to shop locally and support our local businesses. The growth of our villages in

recent years has seen an increase in facilities and business services. But they can only survive if the people

they are designed to serve support them.

Let’s face it, we’d all miss them if they were not there!

There are 3 pages full of special offers and discounts to help you along the way.

Support your local businesses, cut out the vouchers and shop, shop, shop..

St Norbert’s Catholic Primary School

Newsletter Welcome to our November Newsletter.

Since our last Newsletter back in July, we have achieved two new awards, a Global Awareness Award and

an Extended Schools Award.

The first for Global Awareness is extra-special as a Gold grading has been awarded. There are only 5

other schools in the country who have achieved this standard.

The second award for Extended Schools celebrates our achievements in providing clubs, activities and

opportunities for children above and beyond the normal school day. We are very pleased with both these

achievements which were a fitting end to a very busy summer term.

The children have had a busy start to the new term. The upper school have visited Eden Camp, Malton

and the lower school, Eureka! in Halifax. In addition, the children will be having their annual visit to the

pantomime in December. All children in school will also watch a performance by a travelling theatre com-

pany during November.

You may have noticed if you have passed our school recently that the extension to the school hall is well

under way. Once completed, this will provide better facilities for both the school and the local commu-

nity.

In addition to the hall extension, we are also having new kitchen facilities which will be used both as a

teaching kitchen for the children and also provide improved facilities for anyone wishing to hire the hall.

If there are any community groups who are looking for a ―new home‖ or on a ―one-off‖ basis, please get

in touch with us once the hall re-opens in November and we will be happy to discuss your requirements

with you.

We would like to acknowledge the help and financial assistance that North Lincolnshire Council have

given us to enable the kitchen project to progress and also to everyone who has helped with fundraising

for the hall project.

Subject to the hall re-opening, our Christmas Bingo is planned for Wednesday 17 November. Doors open

6.30pm with ―eyes down‖ at 7.30pm. Refreshments will be available from 6.30pm onwards. Everyone

welcome.

In addition, we hope to have our toddler group, Shining Stars, up and running again as soon as the hall re-

opens. Please telephone the school during November for further information.

We don‘t want to mention the ―Christmas‖ word just yet but it will be here before we realise. The chil-

dren will soon start practising for their Christmas performances and if there are any members of the com-

munity who would like to watch this, we would be very pleased to welcome you to our school on Tues-

day 7th December at 10am. Tickets will be limited so please telephone towards the end of November to

reserve your tickets – 01724 710249.

We are always very happy to welcome everyone into school and have in the past organised some success-

ful intergenerational projects/clubs. If anyone has any ideas/projects they would like us to consider or can

help us with, we would be very happy to discuss these with you. Thank you.

Local business man Geoff

Moore from Eastoft has

taken on a new business

venture; not only is Geoff

the local taxi driver, but

now hires out an executive

Chrysler 300C!

Geoff moved to the Isle in 2006, at the time

was working for Audi. Geoff had worked in

motor Industry for over 25 years. When his

job came to an end late 2006, Geoff looked

at the number of villages around the Isle

especially from Crowle to Goole; with limited bus times and thought there was a gap in the market to

launch a Private Hire business where he could provide a service for the villages.

XI Private Hire was born in July 2008. Geoff says ―Starting in the middle of a recession, friends thought I

was mad. With the first 2 years under my belt with tax driving, I needed something to compliment my

business. In the past few months I have received a number of enquiries for wedding cars, and obviously

when I said I had a Citroen C8, though a very nice people carrier, it wasn't what they were looking for.‖

The next point was, what car should I purchase?

I thought a Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW 7 series, Audi A8 Long wheel base, but when I looked at all these

models the same thought came back to me on every occasion. The aperture of the rear door was quite

narrow. Now for me when you are collecting the bride on the most important day of her life, you need

sufficient ease of access.

When I saw the Chrysler 300C, with the Bentley Grille, the space, the luxury, the layout and the

engineering, I thought this is the car! I can proudly say I am now the owner of the very Chrysler 300C.

It is a dream come true.

Geoff also offers different packages, such as Executive Work, Proms Night, Day at the Races. Picnic

Hamper and Champagne.

Ann, my wife has just received her license, so anyone out there who would prefer the lady drive, give

Axi Private Hire a call.

We are also improving our web site over the coming weeks to include the new business venture so

generating new business.

Most importantly we see the business as an opportunity to

bring additional interest to the Isle, and hopefully to

other businesses.

Whether you are getting married, going on that special day/

night or would just like to treat someone give Geoff a ring on

01724 798877 or 07866 859963 and make their day special!

Life under Water

The November meeting of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust‘s Isle of Axholme group takes place on

Thursday November 4th when Brian Jubb and John Naylor will be showing us some wonderful

photographs of life under water. They have been to many places round the world taking photographs of

the fascinating life found in the waters there, as well as life in the sea around Britain. There is an amazing

variety of plants and animals to be seen and they have captured much of this on film. Both are excellent

photographers so this will be a very enjoyable evening. Do come along and join us, everyone is welcome,

meetings are always open to anyone, you don‘t have to be a member.

The new season at Axholme Camera Club got off to a good start with

several new members joining. Club Secretary Joyce Hooley has been busy all summer

booking some very interesting speakers for the coming months, and with workshops, members' evenings

and competitions the programme is varied, full of interest and activity.

The first speaker was Club member Geoff Trinder ARPS, a wildlife photographer who shared his

knowledge and showed his work in an inspiring and fascinating talk, Photographing Birds in Flight.

He was followed by John Jones, equally knowledgeable in his field, Life in the Darkness. John, along with

his 80 year old assistant, has been studying the living things in a disused drift mine in Derbyshire, recording

his findings over the last 10 years. Spiders, Moths, Bats, Fungi and other things found in the dark, damp

conditions underground may not be everyone's favourite things, but John had such enthusiasm for his

subject, and a wealth of information, with a dash of humour that the members were thoroughly educated

and entertained.

Gary Brown, a local man, brought along his equipment and talked about his work as an Events

photographer. Many people think of turning their hobby into a business, and Gary has done this, with help

from his daughter Katy. It was a

very interesting evening, but

dispelled any idea that this

might be an easy option for

fellow photographers.

So far, there has been one

competition, an Open Subject,,

as usual, was very well

attended. The judge, Alan

Robson FRPS APAGB travelled

from Selby to view and

comment on the prints.

George Fiddler did well with a

win and a 2nd place, also Jean

Goodburne, Albert Phillipson,

Harry Snow and Judy Newton.

On November 9th, everyone is

invited to attend a presentation

by Peter Baker LRPS, DPAGB.

His projected images ( audio

visual ) entitled 'Walk on the

Wild Side ( Through the Eyes of a Fox) promises to

be a very entertaining evening. All welcome at

7.30pm, Haxey Church Hall, admission £1.50 to

include refreshments. Come along and bring a

friend.
