Introduction
The Domesday Survey (1086) was the first to gather a record of the people, property and, importantly, the value of the Norman conquest in Cheshire. Part of this valuation were the mills remaining after the land was plundered. Of the pre-Norman Saxon mills, only 18 are recorded of which 8 were recorded on the Gowy and it’s tributaries. If there were others, they were destroyed, not working or lost to the past.
Introduced by the Romans, water mills harnessed the power of streams and rivers to initiate the first industrial revolution in Britain. A technology used by the Saxons and extended with the arrival of the Normans. From Domesday to the 1850’s, some 700 water and windmills are known based on tithes and an epic survey of the 1970’s. Again, many others have dissolved through time to leave no trace. A 1000 mills has been suggested evidenced on field names.

Good Morning all,
The boys from the black stuff are coming to Higher Heyes !!!!!!
I am pleased to announce we are finally getting tarmac tomorrow ( Tuesday 29 / 09/20). After weeks and weeks of testing and e mails galore we are getting the road on site base coated with tarmac.
It will take all day to complete, all wagons and plant have been instructed to approach the village the correct way so I will be keeping an eye on that one.
Obviously we wont be able to park on site on Tuesday butwill be able to from Wednesday onwards.
All plots are now under construction and are currently ranging from plots 10 and 11 which now have the roof on, down to plots 1 and 2 which are at first lift scaffold height.
The last of the roof trusses are due on site next week
Kind Regards
IAN FORBER.

Hedges And Footpaths
The Parish Council have been asked by a resident to highlight that overgrown hedges and low growing plants are often difficult to manoeuvre on paths and pavements.
Could all residents please check their boundary and cut back where necessary?
Overgrown footpaths (such as along Brookside) can also be reported the Council using https://www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/residents/contact-us/report-it/report-it.aspx
New Approach To Community Policing - Kingsley and Gowy 24/09/2020

| Cheshire Police has today launched its new approach to community policing, which will see dedicated police officers assigned to each of the county’s 122 policing areas to tackle crime and support communities. The initiative has been developed by Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) David Keane who is striving for Cheshire to be the leading police service for delivering community policing. It builds on the already successfully delivered initiative to provide a dedicated PCSO and police community base for each area. The new community police officers will work with their fellow PCSO, the wider policing team, and key partners to build relationships within the community, sharing the same mission to solve problems at their root-cause before they become more serious. They will spend more time in the heart of their dedicated communities and be given time to deal with issues that matter most to local residents. Another benefit of the changes is local residents will have more opportunities than ever before to directly contact their officers - either online, through social media, or face-to-face during police surgeries. The work of the new community policing teams will be supported by a funding package for each community, made available from money seized from criminals under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. This will consist of a £1,000 funding pot for all 122 communities and an additional £10,000 for all eight policing units that local people can bid for to deliver projects which work with the local policing team and key partners to address specific issues. This now means that you have: - A local community police base - A dedicated PCSO - A dedicated PC - Regular community policing surgeries - Funding for your local community Details of your local police officer, PCSO and community base can be found below: PC Dan Malone PCSO Deborah Netherton Norley Village Hall, High Street, Norley, WA6 8JS  |
