December / January 2000

	The draft 2000 Electoral Register was published at the end of November and is available for inspection at the Council offices, with the Parish Clerk or with me, until mid December. If you are not on the register, you will not be able to vote in any elections or referenda that are held next year. Please check that you are included and if you are not, contact the Electoral Services on 01353 668833 extension 338. The first East Cambridgeshire District Newspaper should hit your doormats about a week after this edition of Out of Reach. The aim of the paper is to let residents know what is happening across the District and what the District Council is doing. The first edition has been timed for December to provide you with a list of useful numbers for if you need any Council services over the Christmas/New Year holiday. The Council’s staff have been working hard to ensure that all our systems are ready for the Year 2000. The auditors have been reviewing our work on this throughout the year. They have now given us ‘Blue Status’, which means that in their view our systems should continue to work despite the ‘Millennium Bug’. My next surgery will be at Reach Village Hall on Tuesday December 14th from 7.30-9.00. Please come if you wish to discuss any matters with me. Or, if you prefer you can contact me at home. Charlotte Cane (Liberal Democrat Councillor for the Swaffhams and Reach)

	Snow has fallen on London on Christmas Day only seven times since the beginning of the century. Steel expands when it is hot, making the Eiffel Tower 15 centimetres higher in the summer than in the winter.
