Healthcare on WynyardWould you like to be able towalk to your GP Surgery?
At present Wynyard residents are travelling a minimum of four milesto attend a GP surgery. The lack of a Health Centre on Wynyardmeans also local no access to any of the specialist and preventativeclinics that Primary Care providers now deliver…for example theRoseberry Practice in Billingham offers 14 different clinics as well asaccess to the normal GP/District Nurse/Nurse Practioner and PracticeNurse services.
Wynyard has now grown to such a size that it clearly can sustain aGP practice of its own and the new developments planned for theestate will boost the numbers even more. Wynyard Estates Services iscurrently in discussions withtwo potential healthcareproviders who are keen toestablish a practice onWynyard. However they willneed some indication, prior tomaking a commitment to setup a practice, that there willbe enough of the currentresidents who would be willing
www.wynyardmatters.orgpage 2
to leave their current GP Practice and sign up with them. If there are notenough residents willing to change the new practice would not be viable andwould not be able to access various funding “pots” to establish specialistclinics.
It would be understandable that some residents would not wish to leave theircurrent practice if they feel their health needs are well serviced and they do notmind the distance they have to travel. Equally we are sure there will be manywho are happy to make the change. What is needed now is an indicationfrom current residents of their views. Please go to the Wynyard ResidentsAssociation website at www.wynyardresidents.org, click the link to the surveyand let us know your views. If you are willing to change we would need thenumber of people in your household who would register to the new practice.This is not a firm commitment to change from you but an indication which youwill not be held to at some point in the future.
Please do not ignore this, we need to know what youpersonally think one way or the other as soon as possible.

The weather may not know it but this isofficially Summertime and being ever theoptimist here are a couple of classic, easyrecipes for long hot Summer days.
A chilled soup is a great way of starting ameal or a quick fix for lunch and this “ChilledPea” soup is perfect. It can be served intraditional bowls or in funky glass jars. Takea 450 gram bag of frozen peas and tipthem into a blender. Add 800ml of boilingwater and leave the peas to defrost. Oncedefrosted take a tablespoon of peas out ofthe liquid for garnish and blitz the remainderwith a tablespoon of bouillon powder and ahandful of fresh mint. Chill until ready toserve and serve with the retained peas anda dollop of cream or crème fraiche.
Tip 500 grams of fresh salmon fillet, skinned,into a food processor. Add a tablespoon ofred Thai curry paste, a thumb nail sizedpiece of grated fresh ginger, a teaspoon ofsoy sauce and chopped coriander to taste.Pulse until roughly minced. Tip out the mixand shape into 4 burgers. Heat a smallamount of vegetable oil in a non-stick fryingpan, then fry the burgers for 4-5 mins oneach side, turning until crisp and cookedthrough.
Meanwhile, use a swivel peeler to peel stripsof carrot and cucumber into a bowl. Tosswith white wine vinegar and caster sugaruntil the sugar has dissolved, then tossthrough the salad. Divide the salad between4 plates. Serve with the burgers. These caneither be served hot or cold and thespiciness can be adjusted by just changingthe amount of red curry paste used. I haveeven cooked these successfully on the BBQby using a wire rack to make sure they donot fall through onto the coals.
Keep your fingers crossed theweather improves!

Baking for HeroesA great big Thank You to everyone who baked for the Help for Heroes bake sale.We had a wide range of baked goods and business was brisk until the heavensopened for the second time after lunch and we had to abandon the pitch.
There was something for everyone and peoplewere generous, in total we raised £399.77 forthis good cause. Also £128.00 of the totalwas gift aided so the charity can claim the taxback on that amount.
There was no winner of Name the Bear so allfunds went to the charity. The envelope saidthe bear was called Maximus!
The Co-op provided the team with morningcoffee, for which we were very grateful. Lookout for next year’s charity bake sale. If youwould like to nominate a charity please go towww.wynyardmatters.org/contactus and send us a note.

Summer Gardening AdviceWill we get a summer or won’t we? That is the question. To prolong theflowering season and pretend we are having a summer, dead head plants. If notallowed to set seed they will produce new flowers. Dahlias, Rudbeckia,Heleniums and all annuals respond well as do roses and clematis.
Hosta flowering spikes can be removed once the first flower on the stem has goneover. This prevents the unsightly die back of the flowers and also encourages theplant not to start winter die back, they look fresher for longer. If you remove theflower spikes too soon the Hosta will just send up more wasting energy that couldgo into growth.
Keep feeding herbaceous plants with a high potash content food to keep themflowering. For rhododendrons and other spring flowering ericaceous plants, usea high nitrogen feed suitable for acid soil loving plants now and then a highpotash feed in late summer into early autumn when they are setting the buds fornext year.
To keep Hostas looking fresh and lush use a slowrelease fertiliser or plant food. I top dress the plantpots with pelletised sheep’s wool in spring,whether they have been potted on or not. It is notcheap but fulfils four functions. The thick matting itforms mulches the plants reducing the need forwatering and also acts as a weed suppressant.The mat is very course and acts as a deterrent toslugs (no, NOTHING keeps the little monsters offcompletely). As the wool breaks down it slowly
feeds the plant. I also find sheep’s wool very effective for Dahlias, which I alsogrow in pots.
The pelletised sheep’s wool is not cost effective for Hosta and other herbaceousperennials planted in open ground. They canbenefit from mulching with fine bark chips orchopped mineralised straw. The mineralised strawwill also deter the slugs, suppress weeds andslowly feed the plants as it breaks down. Both ofthese mulches will last for more than one season,so they are not as expensive as they may at firstseem. Supermarkets and DIY stores often do bulkbuy deals on the chipped bark.
Hope the summer does come – enjoy your garden.
