Welcome to the <strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember<br />
edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong>.<br />
Through editing this magazine, I’ve really<br />
been enjoying getting to know much<br />
more about our local groups and<br />
charities. <strong>The</strong> people involved are truly<br />
inspiring.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other key aim of the magazine is to<br />
support local trades people and<br />
businesses. We have a wealth of<br />
expertise and experience on our<br />
doorstep. I’m so encouraged to always<br />
look locally, as I hope you do as well.<br />
Did you find time to visit some of the<br />
artists exhibiting the recent Hampshire<br />
Open Studios? Shaun Steven’s work is a<br />
real treat for the magazine front cover,<br />
and is entitled, “Walk the Dog”. If you<br />
didn’t see her work at Keyhaven, Shaun<br />
exhibits at the Hurst Marine shop and<br />
also Handmade New Forest in Lymington.<br />
Alternatively, visit her website<br />
www.shaunstevensart.com. She has such<br />
a great range of styles to her work.<br />
You will notice some Christmas events<br />
creeping into the magazine. Where has<br />
the year gone?<br />
With best wishes<br />

BRINGING HISTORY HOME<br />
Since launching the Milford-on-Sea Historical<br />
Record Society’s website<br />
www.milfordhistory.org.uk, we have found that<br />
the House Histories page has been particularly<br />
popular. It contains short accounts of properties<br />
in the village and many of them can be seen by<br />
the QR signs where they are displayed. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> has invited us to provide some<br />
more detailed histories of houses in Milford,<br />
both large and small. We shall start with a<br />
smaller house at No.46 High Street.<br />
Polly’s Pantry<br />
On March 1 st 1676 P. Rudsby of Winchester<br />
received £16 from William Thorn, blacksmith, of<br />
Milford for a 1000 year lease on the property<br />
known as Yatemans. It was described as a<br />
tenement or dwelling house, with the barn and<br />
garden plot which was bounded by John Gritt’s<br />
land on the west, by John Hutchins land on the<br />
east, by the Kings Highway on the north and by<br />
the river on the south.<br />
By 1875, Edmund Cole who now owned the<br />
property had died intestate and his wife, Louisa,<br />
was granted letters of administration. At her<br />
death in 1907, Letters of Administration were<br />
granted to her son, Frank Cole, who sold the<br />
residue of the lease to Edward Knight for £295.<br />
This effectively became a freehold property by<br />
virtue of ‘the Conveyance & Law of Property’<br />
Act 1881.<br />
<strong>The</strong> property had a frontage of about 35 feet<br />
bounded on the west by another property<br />
agreed to be purchased by Edward Knight and<br />
on the south by the Danestream.<br />
It would appear that in 1912, Edward took out a<br />
mortgage to pay for this and another property.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mortgage was with the Trustees of the<br />
Southampton & West Hants District No. 121 of<br />
the Independent Order of Rechabites [Salford<br />
Unity] Friendly Society.*<br />
In 1919, Cecil Lewis Knight bought the property<br />
from his brother, Edward, for his grocery and<br />
confectionery business which is today Polly’s<br />
Pantry at No. 46 Milford High Street.<br />
When the Cole family sold the property to<br />
Edward in 1907, the agreement was needed<br />
from all the members of the family who were<br />
alive and were 21 or over. Edmund and Louisa<br />
had thirteen children and by the date of this<br />
sale, five of them had died and one, Louisa’s son<br />
George, was not available, nor was it known if<br />
he was still alive. In 1859 he had emigrated to<br />
Queensland, Australia, but he kept in contact<br />
with his mother, Louisa, until 6 January 1883. In<br />
his last letter to her, he said that he had been<br />
wounded in a fight with natives. As he had not<br />
been heard of for 22 years he was presumed to<br />
be dead, and it was agreed that as long as he<br />
had some protection, Edward could go ahead.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cole family agreed to give a covenant<br />
indemnifying him if any claim should be made<br />
by George Cole or any of his heirs or successors.<br />
It would be interesting to see what would<br />
happen if somebody did turn up!<br />

*[<strong>The</strong> Independent Order of Rechabites is a friendly<br />
society founded in England in 1835 as part of the wider<br />
British temperance movement to promote total abstinence<br />
from alcoholic beverages. Always well connected<br />
in upper society and involved in financial matters, it<br />
gradually transformed into a financial institution]<br />

DOGS COME TOO!<br />
Record numbers of British holidaymakers are<br />
choosing to go off on vacation with their dogs<br />
instead of leaving them behind. It's not just UK<br />
holidays either; some intrepid dog owners are<br />
even calling on their vets, and paying to have<br />
them issue special pet passports to enable their<br />
four-legged friends to travel abroad with them!<br />
an infusion of elderflower, linden blossom,<br />
ginseng and water or 'Pawsecco Rose'; (same<br />
again but with carrot added). For the more<br />
butch-type dogs there's good old 'Bottom<br />
Sniffer Beer' containing dandelion and burdock.<br />
And to round off the meal, Fido can choose 'old<br />
sock ice cream' too. Strange but true!<br />
In recent years, our dogs have become much<br />
more important members of our families and<br />
now there's a growing demand for dogfriendly<br />
self-catering cottages, hotels and even<br />
luxury villas that don't just tolerate dogs, but<br />
actively encourage them to come too.<br />
Here are some examples:<br />
Even the upper echelons of polite society are<br />
getting in on the 'dogs come too' act: In<br />
London's fancy Knightsbridge at the five-star<br />
Egerton House Hotel, while well-heeled guests<br />
tuck into their scones and finger sandwiches in<br />
the drawing room, their dogs can enjoy their<br />
own special 'Dog Afternoon Tea'.<br />
<strong>The</strong> four-star, 15th century Swan at Lavenham<br />
Hotel and Spa has a renowned restaurant, and<br />
has now created a special in-the-room dinner<br />
menu especially for its canine guests.<br />
In the 12th century Tuscan Castello Del Nero,<br />
Michelin-starred chefs fuss around<br />
preparing bespoke meals for dogs who come in<br />
hungry after a day sniffing around the 740<br />
acres of olive groves and vineyards and cooling<br />
off in a couple of lakes.<br />
Channels Bar and Brasserie in Essex supply an<br />
extensive range of luxury treats for dogs from<br />
their 'DoggyDining' menu. <strong>The</strong>re are old<br />
favourites that are sure to please, like<br />
sausages and rashers of bacon alongside<br />
choices such as 'cheese and crackers', which<br />
are actually chunks of cheddar with chicken<br />
rawhide crackers served with an apple<br />
garnish. It doesn't end there either; a range of<br />
side orders like doggy crisps (crunchy<br />
vegetable crisps made for dogs), doggy<br />
popcorn (made in Britain especially for dogs<br />
too and 'with 100% natural ingredients') is<br />
available. And If some of that sounds a bit dry<br />
for the canine palate, then pampered pooches<br />
can wash it all down with 'Pawsecco White';<br />
It's a growing trend, but if your holiday simply<br />
doesn't work with your dog, but you really<br />
don't like the idea of leaving your four-legged<br />
family member in kennels, then Sophie's<br />
Pet Care® have the perfect solution: We<br />
regularly arrange VIP holidays for your dog in<br />
the comfort of loving, family homes in our<br />
area, so that your pooch has a holiday that's at<br />
least as good as your own! Pick up the dog and<br />
bone and call ………………. or visit<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />
What’s in Your Wine?<br />
Keeping up with trends and changes in tastes is<br />
one of the many enjoyable things about<br />
running an independent shop. We are able to<br />
react quickly, adding or changing lines, and<br />
there are several areas of our buying that has<br />
evolved this way. We have increased our range<br />
of organic and biodynamic wines, low or no<br />
sulphur and vegan wines.<br />
Which brings me to this interesting topic, what<br />
is in your wine?<br />
Wine has been produced for thousands of<br />
years and was previously the way of preserving<br />
what would go unused or rotten. People also<br />
drank wine with it being cleaner than drinking<br />
water at the time and it was seen as bringing<br />
many health benefits.<br />
Modern advances in technology and the<br />
demand for more affordable wine has led to<br />
the industrialisation of winemaking<br />
techniques, very much in the way that<br />
modern/supermarket bread has mostly<br />
replaced home baking. Home baking where<br />
just three ingredients were used, nowadays<br />
look on the back of your packet of bread and<br />
there are many more than that!<br />
So, what is likely<br />
to be in the<br />
average bottle of<br />
plonk? <strong>The</strong> list is<br />
long and can<br />
include things like<br />
sulphur to<br />
preserve the<br />
wine, as well as<br />
added tannin,<br />
acidifiers, sugar,<br />
clarifying agents,<br />
cultured yeasts<br />
and stabilisers.<br />
Healthy organic vineyard in the<br />
Sierra de Gredos<br />
Organic Wine - This is where the grapes are<br />
grown organically, without the use of harmful<br />
pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical<br />
fertilisers, therefore better for you and the<br />
environment.<br />
Sulphur in Wine - This is used as a<br />
preservative, keeping the wine from oxidising<br />
and isn’t necessarily a bad thing in small<br />
quantities. However, some people find they<br />
react to it, especially at high levels and so it is<br />
nice to be able to offer a selection of low or no<br />
added sulphur wines. Sulphur levels in organic<br />
wines tend to be much lower.<br />
Vegan/Vegetarian Wine - More often than not<br />
fining agents are used in large scale wine<br />
production- wineries can use animal byproducts<br />
such as milk and egg white to filter<br />
any sediment. We offer a great selection of<br />
wines from smaller producers who don’t fine<br />
or filter their wines at all, as well as those that<br />
use non-animal products for this process and<br />
therefore are vegan and vegetarian friendly.<br />
Here is just a small selection of our wines that<br />
we can highly<br />
recommend<br />
trying...<br />

WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of us<br />
‘LANDSCAPE SCALE CONSERVATION’<br />
Ecologists, conservationists and our larger<br />
wildlife bodies are regularly talking about how<br />
best we can look after British wildlife. <strong>The</strong> term<br />
‘landscape-scale conservation’ has been coined<br />
and seems to be on everyone’s lips.<br />
Comparatively small, often isolated, nature<br />
reserves dotted around Britain’s coast or inland<br />
are no longer suitable alone for the future<br />
needs of our diminishing wildlife. Or, so we are<br />
told and with many animals rapidly declining,<br />
larger steps need to be taken.<br />
So, how real is the threat of losing species in our<br />
countryside and cities? On the face of what I<br />
see locally, not much. That is however, until you<br />
look at the wider picture. Species that have<br />
been here for hundreds of years are in decline.<br />
Farmland is under intense pressure to produce<br />
more food, often it appears, for unrealistic<br />
returns.<br />
Naturalist and broadcaster Stephen Moss says<br />
in his book ,‘Wild Kingdom’ about the farmed<br />
countryside, ‘Apart from the gently waving<br />
heads of corn in the summer’s breeze, there is<br />
an eerie silence. Nothing moves. <strong>The</strong> flutter of<br />
butterflies, their colours catching the eye as they<br />
reflect the sunshine; the buzz of bumblebees as<br />
they flit from flower to flower; even the<br />
wildflowers themselves – are all absent’.<br />
Stephen continues, ‘We only need to find out<br />
what we have lost since the end of the Second<br />
World War to realise just how much has<br />
vanished during the last 70 years – the span of a<br />
human lifetime – we have lost 99 per cent of our<br />
hay meadows, 96 per cent of our chalk and<br />
limestone grasslands, half a million farm ponds<br />
and 300,000 miles of hedgerows – enough to<br />
stretch from the earth to way beyond the<br />
moon’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wildlife Trusts have put in place a ‘Nature<br />
Recovery Network’, which includes trying to<br />
bring nature into the places where we work and<br />
live and to encourage farmers to make room for<br />
colourful wildflower strips running alongside<br />
hedgerows. <strong>The</strong>y contend that children seem to<br />
understand that the natural world is the<br />
foundation of our wellbeing. <strong>The</strong> Trust’s 4 stage<br />
plan is to: 1) Protect the wildest places, 2) Make<br />
connections through (‘stepping-stones’ and<br />
‘wildlife corridors’) between these larger places,<br />
3) Provide a bigger overall area for wildlife and<br />
4) Find space for wildlife in the wider landscape.<br />
Wildlife Potential:<br />
• 250,000 miles of roadside verges for<br />
wildlife.<br />
• c.430,000 hectares of gardens to help<br />
important pollinators such as<br />
bumblebees.<br />
• Public open spaces of which two-thirds<br />
is short mown grass, whereas,<br />
wildflower meadows support eight<br />
times more wildlife .<br />
• 70% of UK land is farmland where<br />
creating habitat for wildlife is vital.<br />
So, what can we do to help? <strong>The</strong>re is no real<br />
opportunity to help in this new ‘landscape scale’<br />
vision, but what every one of us can do is<br />
manage our gardens a little better for ‘wildlife’,<br />
or maybe, help your local conservation<br />
volunteers undertake work in nearby public<br />
open spaces and nature reserves.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rewards for health and well-being and<br />
just doing your bit for nature, is<br />
immeasurable. ‘Every one of us can do a<br />
little, but together we can do a lot’.<br />

DRIVING SAFELY FOR LONGER<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are currently just over 5.1 million people<br />
in the UK aged 70 and over driving on our<br />
roads, and the expectation is that this will<br />
double if not treble in the next 20 years as we<br />
all live longer. <strong>The</strong> oldest person who holds a<br />
driving licence is a male aged 107 years.<br />
Hampshire is shown as having the highest<br />
number of older drivers outside London.<br />
We know that older motorists have a wealth of<br />
experience, confidence and tolerance.<br />
However, sight, hearing, reaction time and<br />
judgement of speed and distance may not be as<br />
sharp as it once was.<br />
Fragility increases with age, so injuries tend to<br />
be more serious and recovery takes much<br />
longer. Casualty rates do increase for car<br />
drivers aged over about 65, and the fatality rate<br />
increases significantly.<br />
That’s where we come in. <strong>The</strong> Older Drivers<br />
Forum is about keeping mature motorists on<br />
the road safely for longer. Whether that’s<br />
helping giving you practical and informative<br />
help and support to continue driving or<br />
pointing you in the right direction for an<br />
assessment to identify your driving needs –<br />
from wing mirror adapters to an elevated<br />
driving seat – we’re here to help.<br />
We’re a not-for-profit group made up of<br />
experts in road safety from across Hampshire<br />
and the Isle of Wight – from representatives<br />
from the emergency services, to charities, local<br />
authorities and businesses specialising in<br />
keeping older people on the road.<br />
If you know an older driver, have contact with<br />
them regularly in your job or are perhaps just<br />
concerned for a friend or relative who is still<br />
driving then the Older Driver Forum may be<br />
able to help.<br />
<strong>The</strong> forum is holding an Older Driver<br />
Awareness Week, offering advice and tips that<br />
will help older drivers continue to drive safely<br />
or help them to decide when to stop. <strong>The</strong><br />
event is free to attend and open between<br />
9.30am to 3pm, no appointment is required<br />
and people can pop in anytime during these<br />
hours. <strong>The</strong> events are aimed at anyone with an<br />
interest, from older drivers themselves, to<br />
friends and relatives.<br />
Advice will be available on:<br />
• Brushing up your skills.<br />
• Booking a driving assessment.<br />
• Arranging a regular eyesight test.<br />
• Getting advice on health and wellbeing<br />
issues that could affect driving ability.<br />
• Renewing your licence at 70.<br />
• Learning about road safety and<br />
consequences of not being fit to drive.<br />
• Discover alternatives to being<br />
independent without a car.<br />
Safety is the top priority; it should be the most<br />
important thing older drivers consider when<br />
there is concern over driving ability. <strong>The</strong> best<br />
advice is don’t become complacent and wait for<br />
an accident or a near miss to convince a driver<br />
to stop, instead seek advice, support and help.<br />

WHY WE NEED A ‘MEN’S SHED’<br />
At the County Council, I am a member of the<br />
select committee that looks at Public Health<br />
and we recently received a presentation<br />
about ‘Men’s Sheds'. I have to say that at<br />
first I was rather puzzled about the general<br />
idea, but the more I learned about it the<br />
more it occurred to me that a Men’s Shed<br />
would be incredibly valuable in the area.<br />
Hence the beginning of a local project which<br />
I hope will be a success. So, what does a<br />
messy old shed full of workshop tools have<br />
to do with men’s health?<br />
<strong>The</strong> health of men, particularly that of single<br />
men, or those who may have lost loved ones<br />
and find themselves alone in later life, has<br />
been identified as a huge concern in<br />
communities all over the country. Not only<br />
the physical health of men but also their<br />
mental health. Isolation and lack of contact<br />
with the outside world is one of the biggest<br />
causes of depression, and particularly so in<br />
men of all ages. That is not to say that<br />
women do not suffer from loneliness. But<br />
women often find it easier to initiate going<br />
out for a coffee with friends or to join clubs<br />
such as the WI, Zumba or even Weight<br />
Watchers, where they can chat and have fun<br />
together. It has been found that many men<br />
find socialising much harder.<br />
A Men’s Shed is one way that men can find<br />
friendship and camaraderie amongst other<br />
like-minded people. Men working together<br />
on projects, learning new skills, sharing<br />
ideas and successes, helps general wellbeing<br />
and encourages a more active and fulfilling<br />
lifestyle. Sheds also offer a place to put the<br />
world to rights, to laugh and relax with<br />
other people.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a national Men’s Shed Association<br />
(menssheds.org.uk) and there are now close<br />
to 40 Men’s Sheds in Hampshire alone, all<br />
run by the Shedders who use them. If you<br />
would like to become part of the ‘Men’s<br />
Shed brigade’ in this area, and help to get a<br />
new Shed started, please get in touch with<br />
me (contact details below).<br />
If, however, you are reading this before<br />
Thursday 20 th September, there is a public<br />
meeting about the project at New Milton<br />
Memorial Centre, Whitefield Road, on that<br />
evening (20 th ) at 7pm where we will have<br />
speakers from existing Men’s Sheds. Do<br />
come along and find out more. (NB:<br />
Women also welcome - if you enjoy a bit of<br />
DIY!)<br />

TRAVEL guide<br />
THAILAND: A live travel piece for this edition as<br />
Christina is currently in situ! This is part one of her adventure.<br />
Having flown into Bangkok via Dubai (splitting<br />
the flight into two digestible 6 and a half hour<br />
sections), we arrived to warm and dry<br />
conditions despite it being rainy season.<br />
Bangkok is a crazy, busy, fascinating city and a<br />
great place to start a visit to Thailand as long as<br />
you have a relaxing end planned! We visited the<br />
obligatory night markets and wandered around<br />
the streets with vendors selling everything from<br />
fresh fish to fake handbags.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following day we had an adventure<br />
planned. We got up early and were driven 2<br />
hours out of the city into the lush green<br />
countryside to a place called , <strong>The</strong> Flight of the<br />
Gibbons to do a few hours of zip lining! It was<br />
less terrifying than I had anticipated, and really<br />
very beautiful being above the treetops and<br />
zipping down 30 individual wires. <strong>The</strong> day was<br />
finished off with a trip around an open zoo<br />
where the animals were in (sometimes<br />
worrying) touching distance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next day we were picked up at the crack of<br />
dawn to go to the floating market, which is an<br />
amazing<br />
experience.<br />
We travelled<br />
along the river<br />
on a long tail<br />
boat and then<br />
got dropped<br />
off and left to<br />
our own<br />
devices for a<br />
few hours. We<br />
chose to see<br />
the markets by<br />
boat and so<br />
paid 100 baht for a lady to row us through the<br />
canal network. We could stop at whichever<br />
boat we wanted to buy from. <strong>The</strong>y have a full<br />
array of fruits and vegetables for sale, as well as<br />
beautifully fresh food being cooked on the river<br />
boats. You can also buy souvenirs and clothes<br />
here. It was a lovely morning and got us back<br />
into Bangkok in time to visit the Grand Palace<br />
and Wat Pho, both of which are serene and<br />
quiet oasis in the middle of the bustling city.<br />
After a few busy hot days in Bangkok we were<br />
ready for the relaxing part of our trip, and made<br />
our way to the airport for our flight to Koh<br />
Samui. It was a seamless journey and within 3<br />
hours of leaving our hotel in the city ,we were<br />
on a beautiful white beach on Koh Samui. <strong>The</strong><br />
island is large and there is plenty to see and do<br />
here. <strong>The</strong> plan is an island tour to see the<br />
waterfalls and rock formations, but then also to<br />
take a boat to Koh Phanang to do some<br />
snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters.<br />
I am heading back to Thailand in <strong>Oct</strong>ober to see<br />
Elephant Hills and visit Phuket, so my next<br />
travel piece will be an insight into another side<br />
of Thailand.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best time to visit is usually December to<br />
May but the weather is glorious here in Koh<br />
Samui at the moment. Prices are at their lowest<br />
during our summer. <strong>The</strong>re are many direct and<br />
indirect flight options with various airlines, so<br />
we are spoilt for choice. <strong>The</strong> time change is 7<br />
hours and the local currency is the Thai Baht.<br />
At Milford Travel we can arrange all of your<br />
travel requirements to Thailand so please<br />
call 01590 644899 or visit us at 78 High<br />
Street, Milford on Sea or email<br />

FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY TM (with Natural Face Lift Massage),<br />
REFLEXOLOGY & PREGNANCY REFLEXOLOGY<br />
Facial reflexology, however, has added<br />
benefits besides helping your body<br />
function at its optimum, including a<br />
reduction of fine lines and puffiness,<br />
rejuvenating skin tissue and encouraging a<br />
more toned, radiant and glowing<br />
complexion. Combined with Natural Face<br />
Lift Massage, facial reflexology can give the<br />
appearance of lifting the skin & facial<br />
muscles.<br />
A relatively new therapy, Facial<br />
Reflexology (<strong>The</strong> Bergman Method) is a<br />
buzz word amongst the red carpet and<br />
works on the same principles as foot<br />
reflexology stimulating reflex points<br />
associated with all systems and organs of<br />
the body. <strong>The</strong> proximity to the brain and<br />
cranial nerves ensures a profoundly<br />
relaxing and subtly powerful experience<br />
with some uniquely therapeutic benefits.<br />
Facial & foot reflexology treatments aim to<br />
reduce the symptoms and effects of many<br />
common ailments including stress,<br />
insomnia, migraines, IBS, back pain,<br />
arthritis, anxiety<br />
and hormonal<br />
disorders. Both<br />
treatments are<br />
extremely<br />
popular during<br />
pregnancy and<br />
can be used to<br />
help promote a<br />
shorter, natural<br />
labour.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 100% natural non-invasive treatment<br />
can be combined with Natural Facelift<br />
Massage or foot reflexology to provide a<br />
blissful combination of wellbeing and<br />
rejuvenation. Treatments are cumulative.<br />

WHEN IS CHEAP TOO CHEAP?<br />
It quite often happens that in the space of a<br />
short while, the same issue rears its head<br />
from a number of sources. In this case it was<br />
whether buying a cheap computer because<br />
of anticipated light usage is a good idea. As<br />
so often in the tech arena, the first answer is<br />
a resounding, ‘it depends’. However, when it<br />
comes to cheap computers, there is a<br />
baseline under which it is simply not wise to<br />
go.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are laptop computers currently being<br />
sold with 20-30Gb SSD hard drives. Now I<br />
can’t remember when I last used a computer<br />
with a hard drive that size, but I suspect it<br />
may have been around the turn of the<br />
century, and it seemed a very large hard<br />
drive at the time.<br />
It gets worse. Windows 10 regularly updates<br />
to add new features or fix security holes that<br />
have been discovered. To do that, it<br />
downloads the updates to your computer<br />
before it installs the new files. If you don’t<br />
have enough space to fit the update files<br />
onto your computer hard drive, the update<br />
will fail, and short of having someone put a<br />
larger hard drive in the computer, there’s<br />
little you can do.<br />
I would suggest that 128Gb is the smallest<br />
hard drive you should contemplate, coupled<br />
with 8Gb main memory if possible. It may be<br />
way more than you need, but experience<br />
tells me that’s really the best place to start if<br />
you want to keep using the computer for any<br />
length of time.<br />
Today a large hard drive is measured in<br />
Terabytes. Just putting that in perspective,<br />
you would need around fifty-one 20Gb hard<br />
drives to store one terabyte of data. 20Gb is<br />
a very small hard drive by today’s standards.<br />
‘Ah’, you may say, ‘I only do a bit of Internet<br />
searching and emails, I don’t need a very high<br />
specification computer’. That’s true, if you<br />
don’t make a habit of storing digital photos<br />
or video, you don’t need a very large hard<br />
drive.<br />
When I tell you that according to Microsoft<br />
themselves, 64-bit Windows 10 requires<br />
20Gb of free space on its own, that’s all or<br />
most of your hard drive gone right there. <strong>The</strong><br />
trouble then comes that if you want to use<br />
an alternative browser such as Chrome, or<br />
use Microsoft Office, or any other program,<br />
there’s no space left.<br />

Mervyn Couzens<br />
<strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember <strong>2018</strong><br />
Land Management Award<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council would like to pay tribute<br />
to River Warden Mervyn Couzens, who<br />
recently passed away. Mervyn was a<br />
stalwart of village life and tirelessly<br />
contributed many year of service to the<br />
upkeep of the Pleasure Grounds and<br />
Danestream in particular. Recently he<br />
played a key role in investigating and<br />
resolving effluent discharge into the<br />
Danestream: An active member of the<br />
Milford Conservation Volunteers he was<br />
also involved with wildlife and<br />
conservation measures in many other<br />
areas of the parish. He will be greatly<br />
missed by everyone who knew him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council and Milford<br />
Conservation Volunteers (MCV) were<br />
jointly presented with an award for Land<br />
Management by the CLA and National<br />
Park Authority. <strong>The</strong> award was presented<br />
by Lord Gardiner of Kimble to Tony Locke<br />
from the MCV on behalf of both parties.<br />
Plastic-free Milford-on-Sea<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council has recently agreed to<br />
achieve plastic –free community status.<br />
<strong>The</strong> national scheme is organised by<br />
Surfers Against Sewage and currently has<br />
over 200 towns and villages on the list,<br />
which have all<br />
worked to reduce the<br />
amount of single-use<br />
plastic in their<br />
communities. For<br />
those who take part in the regular beach<br />
cleans you will appreciate the vast amount<br />
of plastic that washes up on our beach and<br />
the detrimental effect this has on wildlife<br />
and our food chain.<br />

Parish Council comment on MOS1 – land<br />
north of School Lane<br />
Milford-on-Sea Parish Council strongly<br />
opposes the release of Green Belt for the<br />
development of 110 homes on Strategic<br />
site 7. Building on the Green Belt should<br />
be considered only in exceptional<br />
circumstances and always in response to<br />
local need. NFDC planning officers are<br />
reported as stating that Green Belt<br />
development is inappropriate. Milford’s<br />
local need is not for more private sector<br />
homes but for family affordable<br />
accommodation, which would likely form<br />
a small part of this proposed development<br />
if this land was removed from the Green<br />
Belt.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council has grave concerns that<br />
should this land be released, developers<br />
would not comply with the stated<br />
requirements for affordable homes to be<br />
built. <strong>The</strong>re is strong evidence to support<br />
this as recent press coverage on the<br />
release of Green Belt has highlighted. This<br />
is proved by Milford’s recent experience at<br />
the school lane site (MoS1), where a<br />
recent planning application took little or<br />
no regard for the conditions already set<br />
down by central government as well as<br />
the inspectorate and unbelievably was<br />
supported by NFDC Planning officers.<br />
How can residents and the Parish Council<br />
have any faith in the new Local Plan<br />
bearing in mind these events?<br />
<strong>The</strong> existing area is on a road leading to<br />
the school, which is walked by residents of<br />
all ages. <strong>The</strong> proposed development<br />
would therefore adversely impact on a<br />
great many residents and should not be<br />
removed from the current Green Belt<br />
village boundary.<br />
Soundness: <strong>The</strong> Local plan is not sound<br />
for the following reasons:<br />
<strong>The</strong> overall assessment of need is<br />
exaggerated. Two very different<br />
assessments have been presented by<br />
NFDC both contain conjecture as to<br />
demand.<br />
<strong>The</strong> assessment of need in Milford-on-Sea<br />
is also exaggerated. <strong>The</strong>re is no economic<br />
or social housing need that must be<br />
accommodated by building on the Green<br />
Belt as there are significant vacant sites<br />
within the village envelope that stand<br />
ready for development. <strong>The</strong>re is an<br />
additional Green Belt exception site in the<br />
existing Plan for 30 units of varying types<br />
which has not been developed.<br />
If these existing sites were developed the<br />
real need for affordable housing in the<br />
village would benefit local residents and<br />
not those migrating into the village who<br />
often seek to buy second homes, would be<br />
met.<br />
Other sources of additional housing<br />
include the steady intensification of land<br />
use within the village and the recent<br />
conversion of a holiday park to permanent<br />
accommodation.<br />
Infrastructure: Milford-on-Sea’s<br />
infrastructure is already under<br />
considerable strain, including:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Road System: this suffers from a T<br />
junction bottleneck leaving the village and<br />
added congestion at the school adjacent<br />
to the proposed site rendering Manor<br />
Road, <strong>The</strong> Lymington Road and other<br />
surrounding roads crowded and<br />

<strong>The</strong> proposed development would also add<br />
additional pollution to the area where the<br />
Junior School is situated. Because the<br />
proposed site is some distance from the<br />
village centre this would add to the flow of<br />
traffic into an already busy the village<br />
centre with increasingly little parking<br />
available.<br />
Public services: the school is already oversubscribed<br />
and the medical services are<br />
also at full stretch serving a particularly<br />
high proportion of older residents.<br />
Effect on wildlife population: the proposed<br />
site hosts diverse and thriving wild life<br />
including Roaming Deer, Badgers, Foxes,<br />
Buzzards, Nesting Birds, Voles and Owls<br />
and thus the proposed development would<br />
have an extreme detrimental effect on the<br />
village’s wild life population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sewage system: this frequently causes<br />
sewerage to flow into people’s homes;<br />
despite considerable expenditure by the<br />
water authorities. <strong>The</strong> current system is<br />
not fit for purpose. Any addition to the<br />
current system would be short sighted and<br />
possibly dangerous to property and life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Consultation Process<br />
NFDC have arranged two consultation<br />
processes – both include the holiday<br />
months of July and August. <strong>The</strong> suggested<br />
format for responses is, for the responders,<br />
in an unfriendly format that is<br />
cumbersome, repetitive and timeconsuming.<br />
This has inevitably has a chilling effect on<br />
the willingness and patience of responders.<br />
Thank you to Chris Wolford<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council would like to recognise<br />
Milford Cricket Club Chairman Chris<br />
Wolford for his 30 years of service to the<br />
club. As well as organising the club, Chris<br />
spends many hours maintaining the pitch<br />
at Barnes Lane Recreation Ground,<br />
ensuring is mown to perfection for the<br />
regular matches held there. Thank you<br />
Chris!<br />
Newcomers’ Supper<br />
This year’s annual Newcomers’ Supper is<br />
being held on Saturday 13th <strong>Oct</strong>ober at All<br />
Saints’ Church Hall. If you have moved into<br />
the village in the past year, this is a<br />
wonderful opportunity to find out about<br />
the groups, clubs and societies that are<br />
available in the village (over 60 at the last<br />
count!) and to meet some of your new<br />
neighbours. If you would like to come<br />
along to this friendly event (and nearly 100<br />
people do every year), contact Ruth Bufton<br />
on ruth.bufton@btinternet.com or call<br />

SID to arrive in village<br />
<strong>The</strong> Parish Council recently agreed to<br />
purchase a SID (Speed Indicator Device)<br />
which will highlight to drivers their speed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> devices are a<br />
good reminder to<br />
slow down and will<br />
be able to be moved<br />
around the village to<br />
different “problem”<br />
locations. <strong>The</strong><br />
installation of the<br />
device is governed by<br />
strict rules from the<br />
Please mention <strong>The</strong> <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> when responding to adverts<br />

Department of Transport and the<br />
Highways Authority (Hampshire Cunty<br />
Council), but the Parish Council is<br />
investigating options for the device to log<br />
all the speed of traffic in order to develop<br />
a record of areas, that can then be flagged<br />
up to the Highway Authority for attention.<br />
It is hoped the device will be in place in the<br />
coming months. In addition, the County<br />
Council have agreed to replace the flashing<br />
lights near the school with larger more<br />
impactful ones and it is hoped these will<br />
be in situ over the winter. We will keep<br />
you informed of progress in future<br />
editions.<br />
Sea Road toilet refurbishment brought<br />
forward<br />
will see the amount of work that they are<br />
doing on behalf of the Parish Council on<br />
Old Milford Meadow. You may recall the<br />
land was bequeathed to the Parish by the<br />
late Mrs Diana Gillespie, whose wish it was<br />
that the meadow be preserved for the<br />
whole community. Having lain relatively<br />
untouched for several years, the brambles<br />
have made a huge impact and it is this vital<br />
clearance work that the MCV volunteers<br />
have kindly agreed to help with.<br />
<strong>The</strong> planned improvements to the Sea<br />
Road toilets by New Forest District Council<br />
have been brought forward to this<br />
financial year. <strong>The</strong> plan is for the toilet<br />
block to use the same footprint as the<br />
current building but would house four<br />
unisex cubicles, two family cubicles and<br />
one Changing Places disabled unit,<br />
featuring a hoist and changing bed. <strong>The</strong><br />
toilets would be a similar design to other<br />
block in the district (the nearest being at<br />
Keyhaven) and the contract is currently<br />
out to tender, with worked hoped to start<br />
in the New year and be completed by<br />
Easter. A section of the car park will be<br />
cordoned off during the construction<br />
period but as this is a “quiet” time of year,<br />
it is hoped this will not have too<br />
detrimental an impact. We will keep you<br />
informed of progress.<br />
Old Milford Meadow<br />
If you read the update by the Milford<br />
Conservation Volunteers (page 62), you<br />
Once the meadow has been cleared and<br />
the access from the Church improved, it<br />
is hoped that local residents and groups<br />
will be able to use the meadow and<br />
garden area that forms part of it. If you<br />
have an idea of a specific use or a feature<br />
that could be incorporated into the area<br />
(such as sensory area, ideas for seating,<br />
etc) please contact the Parish Office.<br />

Nicola Davies<br />
Is your Discretionary Trust still needed?<br />
Many Wills made before the<br />
introduction of the Transferable Nil<br />
Rate Band in 2007, incorporated a<br />
Discretionary Trust, often using the<br />
family home. This made use of the Nil<br />
Rate Band of the first spouse to die and<br />
therefore saving Inheritance Tax.<br />
Property now held in discretionary<br />
trusts cannot utilise the Residential Nil<br />
Rate Band introduced for Inheritance<br />
Tax last April, which has already<br />
benefited the estates of a number of<br />
our Clients and saved their families<br />
thousands of pounds. However, in<br />
many cases it is only a debt charged on<br />
the property, not the property itself<br />
that is held in the discretionary trust, in<br />
which circumstance the Residential Nil<br />
Rate Band may be available.<br />
If your will hasn't been reviewed in the<br />
last ten years, it may be worth your<br />
while undertaking a review to<br />
appreciate the changes in the<br />
Inheritance Tax allowances, your<br />
circumstances, or those of your family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> law is ever-changing and what was<br />
applicable when you made a Will say<br />
ten years ago it may not now be the<br />
best way to leave your estate. It is<br />
good practice to review your Will to<br />
ensure that it carries out your wishes<br />
and makes the best use of the tax<br />
exemptions available to you and your<br />
estate.<br />
If you would like to speak to us about<br />
your Will or indeed to review the<br />
current provisions please do not<br />
hesitate to contact us at the Lymington<br />

In the Garden<br />
with Alan Edmondson of<br />
Bowercot Garden Design<br />
<strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember<br />
Gardening Tips<br />
• Rake up fallen leaves regularly. If they have appeared diseased during the summer, do not<br />
compost them.<br />
• Sow sweet peas in pots in a cold frame. Remove the covers when the seedlings appear.<br />
• A newly sown lawn can have the grass height reduced by about a half when it is 2-3 inches<br />
high. Repeat cutting the lawn in 3-4 weeks’ time.<br />
• Apples and pears which are ripe should be picked and handled carefully prior to storage a in<br />
a cool, airy position.<br />
• Plant daffodils in the garden. Good dwarf varieties include ‘Tete a Tete’, ‘February Gold’,<br />
‘Jack Snipe’ and ‘Hawera’.<br />
• A number of shrubs such as Buddleja, Forsythia and Philadelphus can be propagated by<br />
taking hardwood cuttings.<br />
• In the vegetable garden, dig over ground as it becomes vacant.<br />
• Remove dead leaves from ornamental pools and thin oxygenating plants.<br />
• Plant out new roses. You can improve the soil with plenty of humus and by adding some<br />
blood, fish and bone fertilizer to the planting hole.<br />
• If you are buying biennials such as wallflowers and sweet Williams, make sure that they are<br />
bushy, as they will not grow much now before flowering.<br />
• Harvest leeks and cauliflowers. Also lift and store root crops such as carrots, turnips and<br />
swedes.<br />
• Ventilate the greenhouse on sunny days. Give the glass a good wash to let in the maximum<br />
amount of light.<br />
• Tomato crops should be cleared from the greenhouse and not left to stand suffering from<br />
Botrytis (Grey Mould) as the fungus spores will flourish in greenhouse conditions.<br />
• Feed the birds regularly. It is important to ensure that they have a constant supply of water.<br />

Old Milford Meadow - ‘Secret Garden’<br />
If you live near or walk through All Saints’<br />
Churchyard, you cannot have helped noticing<br />
activity in the nearby overgrown meadow<br />
behind the yew hedge.<br />
MCV NEWS<br />
www.milfordcv.org<br />
You may also<br />
recall having<br />
read that the<br />
late Miss<br />
Diana<br />
Gillespie<br />
bequeathed<br />
the southern<br />
part of the land to the Milford community. <strong>The</strong><br />
Parish Council is the new owner of this part,<br />
whilst the larger northern part, off Knowland<br />
Drive/Dacres Walk, is now in the hands of<br />
Christchurch Priory.<br />
Pedestrian access gate to the ‘Secret Garden’<br />
If your community group, nursery or<br />
association wishes to help restore this very old<br />
garden for public use, let Sarah know at the<br />
Parish Office (644410) and you will be<br />
circulated about future work sessions.<br />
‘Every one of us can do a little, but<br />
together we can do a lot’<br />
In early September, both MCV and the New<br />
Forest Area Conservation Volunteers,<br />
commenced the restoration of the meadow,<br />
community orchard and garden. <strong>The</strong> first job<br />
was to clear the gateway to allow a tractor flail<br />
machine to get<br />
in to clear dense<br />
stands of<br />
bramble<br />
throughout the<br />
site and to take<br />
its first proper<br />
hay cut for<br />
many years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cleared tractor entrance at the five-bar gate<br />
<strong>The</strong> rampant bramble covering the garden area<br />
and surrounding the existing Hinoki Cypress,<br />
Medlar, Hawthorn, Weeping White Mulberry,<br />
Roses and Fruit trees was all cleared away,<br />
leaving work that can now be undertaken by<br />
hand.<br />
