Our Top 10 Tipsfor a safe and crime-free Christmas

This magazine has been printed on paperfrom sustainable forests

You’ve blinked and Christmas is over. All you’re left with is a raggedy oldChristmas tree and piles of cards and wrapping paper – and no ideawhat to do with them!

Christmas treesSimple! Just break up your real Christmas tree andput it in your brown bin – make sure the lid is firmlyshut, though. If you’ve bought a tree with roots,why not plant it ready for use again next year?

Christmas cardsand wrapping paperSimple! Just put them out with your normalrecycling collection – make sure you remove anytinsel, sticky tape and staples. Too much to fit inyour recycling box? Don’t worry – just use carrierbags or clear bags (not black bin bags) and putthem next to your box.

Why not reuse some of your Christmas cards?They make great present tags for next year’spresents.

Don’t forget to check yourcalendars for recycling andrubbish collections over thefestive period. Calendarscan also be downloadedfromwww.cannockchasedc.gov.uk or collected fromany of our area offices.

DIRTY DOGOWNERS BEWARE!

In a recentcrackdown, weissued 29 FixedPenalty Notices todog owners acrossthe District whofailed to clear upafter their pets.

If you are seen not clearing up after your dog youwill be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice and willhave to pay £50. Dog fouling is unsightly,anti-social and can pose serious health risks,especially to young children.

We carry out regular patrols across the District.For more information or to report an incidentcall us on 01543 462621.

CLAMPING DOWNON LITTER LOUTSWe’re cleaning up and this is how:• In the last 12 months we’ve issued 30 Fixed

Penalty Notices for littering in the District

• High-profile campaigns were launchedagainst fast food litter and rubbish thrownfrom vehicles – both led to a reduction inlittering

• We are continuing our zero-toleranceapproach to flytipping and have had anumber of successful prosecutions this year.

Best price, best serviceFrom May 2010 we are changing the way weprovide important services like sweeping roads andemptying litter bins. Six individual contractscovering different service areas are being awarded.This change will provide you with the highestquality service within the available budgets. It willalso enable clear service standards to beestablished and monitored for each area, forexample the frequency of mechanical road sweeping.

Your brown recycling bin is forgarden and food waste only, soyou might be surprised to learnthat we’ve recently found alawnmower, carpet, bundles ofundelivered newspapers and fivepairs of new jeans in bins acrossthe District!

It’s really important that you only put gardenand food waste in the brown bins. Just one‘spoiled’ bin means the entire wagon’scontents have to be sent to landfill instead ofbeing composted.

If a bin is found to be contaminated it will be‘red tagged’. The tag will explain why the bincannot be emptied. If a household continuesto misuse the service and contaminate the bin,the brown bin service to that address will bereviewed.

The following items are acceptable in yourbrown bin: twigs and tree prunings, realChristmas trees (broken up), grass cuttings,hedge trimmings, leaves, bark, cut flowers,weeds, plants, food leftovers, eggs andeggshells, meat and bones, fruit andvegetables plus peelings.

Check ItBefore You Bin It

Pigeons take flightIn Mary Poppins’ world it might onlyhave been ‘tuppence a bag’ to feedthe pigeons – but the cost of clearingup after them is significantly higher.

Following the skyline patrols of harrier hawks Ernie

and Leia earlier this year we’ve seen a reduction in

the number of pigeons in our town centres.

If you leave food for pigeons you are creating

mess and encouraging rats. They also make

buildings look unsightly and can even pose a

public health risk as they often carry diseases. If

we see anyone leaving food for pigeons in the

town centres, we will issue £75 Fixed Penalty

Notices. Keep our streets and town centres clean

– don’t feed the pigeons!

Single stream recyclingSingle stream recycling has now been rolled out across the District.Not only is the new system more simple to use, it’s also morecost-effective – our waste collection service is the lowest inStaffordshire and one of the lowest in the whole country.

Instead of placing paper and card into a separate sack, you can now includethis in your blue box along with tins, glass and plastic. This is then sortedusing the latest conveyor belt technology.

Added to this, our recycling rates are on the rise – up 10% on last year, with afantastic 50% of waste collected so far this year either recycled or composted.Thank you to everyone who has helped to achieve this amazing result!

Nobody’s got money to burn but when itcomes to our homes, that’s just what many ofus are doing. We worry about putting theheating on too high or too often because we’recounting the pennies – but there are other,more efficient ways to reduce our bills.

To find out how you can stop wasting energy at home andsave some money, we’ve set up a home energy advicehotline.

You simply call FREE on 0800 112 3820 and speak to aqualified adviser about grants and services that couldreduce your home energy bills so you don’t get left out inthe cold this winter.

One of the easiest ways to improve the energy efficiencyof your home is through cavity wall and loft insulation.With fuel bills ever on the increase, it’s incredible that anaverage three-bed semi could save as much as £260 ayear on fuel bills by simply installing cavity wall and loftinsulation.

The best news is that there’s help out there to do it.Anyone can apply for funding and you could get up to 50%towards the costs. If you’re aged 70 or over or on means-tested benefits, it might not even cost you a penny.

Call the home energy advice hotline on 0800 112 3820to see how you can make a dent in your bills.

Top tips forsaving energyHelping the planet and your pocket

3. Close your curtains at dusk to stopheat escaping through the windowsand check for draughts aroundwindows and doors.

4. Always turn off the lights when youleave a room.

5. Don't leave appliances on standbyand remember not to leave laptopsand mobile phones on chargeunnecessarily.

Local parks

flying highBack in 1958, the 26 square milesof Cannock Chase weredesignated an ‘Area of OutstandingNatural Beauty’. Now just over fiftyyears on, our town parks havereceived national recognition too,through the Green Flag Award.

The Green Flag Award scheme began in 1996and is the national standard for parks and greenspaces in England and Wales.

We are extremely proud to be able to boast threeGreen Flags, which are now flying high inCannock Park (for the second year running),Ravenhill Park in Brereton and Castle Ring inCannock Wood.

The Green Flag Award is given to parks seen tobe welcoming, safe, well maintained andenvironmentally sustainable. None of this couldbe achieved however without the commitmentand hard work of local community groups, suchas the Friends of Cannock Park, Brereton andRavenhill Parish Council and Brereton TownFootball Club.

Parks and green spaces are great no matterwhat the season, so we hope you get out andenjoy your award winning parks this winter. Inthe words of Sir Rannulph Fiennes: “There isno such thing as bad weather, onlyinappropriate clothing.”

In 1909, the Horticultural Society moved to the grounds that weknow today as Cannock Park. They had a dream to create a parkfor the local community. Over twenty years later, and with the helpof the local mining community, their dream became a reality.

One hundred years

in the making

In celebration of the centenary, localyoungsters put in weeks of preparation andhard work to create a very special work of art.

Working alongside artist Neil Willis (aliasToes), the youngsters have transformed a wallof Chase Leisure Centre with spray art, tocreate a modern, vibrant and dynamic pieceof art that celebrates the park’s history andpresent day in equal measure – there’s a pitwheel for the miners, fruit and vegetables forthe Horticultural Society, the gates that wereinstalled in 1932 when it became a municipalpark and circus characters – a nod to themany circuses staged in the park.

The wall then brings us bang up to date,depicting a skateboarder, play equipment andof course the Green Flag of which we are allso proud.

The spray art work is the first phase of amajor initiative called the Respect project.The Friends of Cannock Park successfully bidfor £8,000 from the Closing The Gap Fundand Chase Valley Community and LearningPartnership have also contributed financiallyto the project. It is fantastic that thecommunity spirit that made the park possibleall those years ago is still going strong in theCannock Chase District today.

Children light the way

this Christmas

10

It’s a bit of an old cliché, but Christmas really is all about the children.

Seeing them all together, faces lit up from the glow of their Christmas lanterns, wrapped up against thecold, looking out expectantly for friends and family; the lantern parade is a truly heart warming sight and aperfect way to bring everyone together in the spirit of Christmas.

This is the third year that we have held our Christmas Lantern Parades and hundreds of children took part.Our Street Wardens helped school children across the District to design and make their lanterns for theparades – all using recycled materials in true Blue Peter style.

The parades in Cannock, Hednesford and Rugeley were a great success and after lighting their waythrough the town centres, the children were treated to some festive fun, with games, carols and even acarousel in the towns’ parks.

There are loads of fantastic parade photos, so join us on Facebook and check them out – just search on‘Cannock Chase Lantern Parade’.

Here in the District, we have green spaces andbeautiful scenery in abundance. Walking is afantastic way to keep fit and healthy – but it’s notjust our bodies we need to look after, we need togive our brains a regular workout too. With itsfascinating and unique pieces of community art,our Route to Health community arts trail is a greatway to stimulate both body and mind.

In October we launched our seventh Route to Healthtrail. Over 500 people took part (volunteers and schoolchildren, hospital patients and the Staffordshire YouthService) and together created some wonderful piecesof art, including a magical fairy wood, a maze madefrom old shoes, a giant allotment and sculptures of allshapes and sizes.

The one-mile walk at the Birches Valley Forest Centrenear Rugeley is suitable for everyone, whatever yourfitness level and is open all the year round. The trail isalso wheelchair and pushchair-friendly.

When would the new system have comeinto force?The first year that the new system of electionswould have taken place was 2011. We decidedthat any councillor up for re-election in 2010would have their term of office extended until the2011 election. Unfortunately, we acted beyondour powers in making this decision.

We have been told by the Government thatelections in 2010 do have to be held and that itwas unlawful not to hold them. Thirteen Councilseats, therefore, will now be up for election inMay 2010.

Are we still moving to the new system ofwhole-Council elections?‘Elections by thirds’ will continue until anotherdecision is taken to change to the whole-Councilsystem. To do this, it must be voted on in ameeting of all councillors and achieve at least a

two-thirds majority. If we want to have this whole-Council election in 2011 then a resolution mustbe passed by Council before 31st December nextyear. The consultation process carried out will belooked at again by elected members to makesure your views are still valid.

Elections will now be held in 2010 for 13 of theCouncil’s 41 seats in the following wards:Brereton and Ravenhill, Cannock East, CannockNorth, Cannock South, Cannock West, EtchingHill and The Heath, Hawks Green, Heath HayesEast and Wimblebury, Hednesford Green Heath,Hednesford North, Norton Canes, Rawnsley andWestern Springs.

The new system – ‘whole-Council elections’All 41 Council seats are up for election in one go, once every four years.
