Hykeham Sailing Club

 

The hard work of Officers and Members of Hykeham Sailing Club in North Hykeham recently paid off with a lottery funded grant of £50,000 to pay for additional facilities for those who use the centre, including many local schools, community organisations and families. Founded in 1985, the Club occupies a splendid clubhouse and a lake of 180 acres affording great sailing to both casual & racing sailors, some of whom are preparing for the 2016 Olympics already. Handing over the lottery cheque on behalf of a Sport England initiative, local MP Stephen Phillips said, "Hykeham Sailing Club is a brilliant example of what volunteers all across the constituency do both to enjoy themselves and to help others to get involved in the recreations about which they are passionate. We've seen some sun for the first time today in a number of weeks which shows the Club and its facilities at their best and I want to thank everyone who invited me and ensures the survival of this fantastic facility for the whole community."

Corporate Responsibility

 

Stephen Phillips QC MP met last week with local residents from Billinghay Dales and representatives of one of the constituency's largest businesses, Moy Park, which, apart from its operations at Anwick, also farms at Padley's Farm. The meeting was called to resolve outstanding issues with regard to necessary traffic movements through Billingay Dales. "An important part of my job," Stephen said, "is bringing different parts of the community and businesses together to deal with any concerns which they have. Moy Park is one of our largest employers and hugely important to the local area. The business understands the importance of being a good neighbour and I am pleased that we have been able to work together to allay the concerns which local residents had expressed to me to their satisfaction."

Wind Farms

 

Stephen Phillips MP received a petition at the weekend against the proposed wind farm at East Heckington, one of a number of applications which is currently being made in the constituency. The petition, which Stephen will now pass on to the Secretary of State, was signed by more than a hundred local residents who object to the interference with their quality of life which they believe the development would bring. "The application has already been objected to by North Kesteven District Council," Stephen said, "and I am sorry that the developers have thought it appropriate to press their case to an enquiry. I am clear in my own mind that whether or not onshore wind is part of the solution to our energy needs, it is only acceptable where it has the support of local communities.  Whilst the decision is not for me, I hope that both the Secretary of State and the independent inspector will listen to the concerns of those who are opposed to the proposed scheme."
