Such a pleasant evening and thanks to Watercress Line for permission. The outdoor annual meeting was the first time some of the new trustees met face to face with the founder members. The charity was also pleased to welcome the input of Bob Barnham (Amy’s duck table), Adam Maskill (local arboriculturist), Chris Cornell (railway historian) and Steve Morley (Watercress Line). During the talk preceding the official meeting in addition to the history of the development of The Watercress Line and The Watercress Way we learnt how the church yard was once a horse field, how a track went through the Old Goods Shed (now the railway shop!) as well as the links to the watercress which was loaded in the siding.

ELMHURST, IL Eight years ago, Scott Levin, then Elmhurst s acting mayor, swore in his successor, Steve Morley, into the position.
On Monday, Morley repaid the favor, administering the oath of office to Levin, 66. It was during a ceremony that included a police and fire honor guard.
In the April 6 election, Levin, a Ward 5 alderman, took 41 percent of the vote, followed by Ward 3 Alderman Michael Bram with 34 percent and Ward 7 Alderman Mark Mulliner with 25 percent. Morley did not seek a third term.
In reply to Louise Perry’s column (Out of the Ordinary, 23 April) I would like to point out that there is a climate emergency. Extinction Rebellion (XR) does not aim to win a popularity contest, it aims to be effective. Many of its activists have spent years signing petitions, writing to politicians, engaging in wildlife projects and going on authorised marches. This has laid the groundwork for our protests. Since the actions of XR and Fridays For Future there is far more public awareness of climate change. It’s still not nearly enough but I count it as a success. She states that “few people are willing to make the kind of sacrifice demanded to reduce their carbon footprint to almost zero”. This is not borne out by the conclusions of citizens’ assemblies held last year by six government departments. We need governments to enable us to make changes, and I would not consider it a sacrifice if I could breathe clean air and ride my bike safely instead of vying for space
