Hilton's 24Hour HGV Ban Application
The LHI TRO (Local Highways Initiative Traffic Regulation Order) application by the PC was successful in making it to the next stages, and your help is needed to help to make it successful. The police have already said they won't object, and Cambridgeshire policy and regulation team are also supporting this process. Let's hope we can get the ban in place. The deadline is 17th December and the request is for you to send an email to support the HGV ban on the B1040, Potton Road, giving your reasons
Process summary - PR0752 Proposed Prohibition of Heavy Commercial Vehicles - B1040 at Hilton
This is the next step in the current Local Highways Improvement project to achieve a 24hr HGV ban on the B1040 through Hilton.
Cambridgeshire County Council is publishing this proposal today. For further details please visit their permanent traffic regulation orders page and select PR0752.

The effect of this Order will be to introduce a Prohibition of Heavy Commercial Vehicles at all times on B1040 Potton Road and St Ives Road at Hilton, between Hemingford Grey/Fenstanton and Papworth Everard. At present that length of road is subject to the same prohibition, but only during the hours of 11pm and 7am.

A pantomime of errors
Hiltons Pantomime
A modern-day Cinderella
We would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the first pantomime in Hilton in living memory for a sell-out run. It seemed like everyone had a great time (including the cast!) and made a great contribution to the upkeep of our village hall, one of our greatest, but often undervalued asset.

A review of the 2020 rainfall record for Hilton
Gillian Sheail, our local Rainfall Observer for the Meteorological Office and Environment Agency, measures the daily rainfall in Hilton. 2020 was a year of both dry and wet spells, culminating in the floods of Christmas Eve and she has written an excellent article which would have been in Spectrum if it was being published. Please find a copy HERE
The ongoing measurements for 45 years provide a useful record of the village’s climate. Monthly and annual rainfall totals for the years from 1976 to 2020 are now available on the village digital archive, copy HERE

What was Hilton like eighty years ago at the beginning of the second world war? A National Register compiled on 29th September 1939 provides a remarkable insight into every household in Hilton. Evacuees had already arrived, but there was not enough room in the village school. The National Farm Survey, two years later, gives a detailed account of farming in the parish. There is so much which can be found out about Hilton at a critical point in its development.
I have brought all this together in a book so that everyone can share what I have discovered. If you would like a copy (£7 to help cover printing costs), please contact me at 3, Mill Hill End, or phone 07484 650209
