The village diary is now back in a new format. We have now dropped support for Google Calendar after they left us in the lurch with no notice at all and have instead adopted our own, home grown, solution which we can have working exactly as we want it. This is very much a first […]

Helping Support Milton News
We run the village web site, Milton News and milton-chat because it’s the sort of thing we do. But it does take up a lot of our time and it also costs us money in hosting costs. So if you find it useful and you buy goods from Amazon then you can help ensure that […]

Village Diary
The software which automatically updates the village diary (for example with bin collections) but also when we add events to news is currently broken so please be aware that events advertised in Milton News may not appear in the village diary as usual. We currently have no ETA for a fix for this.

We like to recheck all the entries on the directory […]

Green Bin Survey
Following on from our news about ‘s proposed changes to winter green bin collections and much debate on the milton-chat mailing list we are running a little survey to try to gauge villagers’ views on this: on what they think of the proposal, how it should be done, and how it would affect them. If […]
Bin Collection Tweets
We have added a new service for followers of @MiltonNews on Twitter where we are tweeting the date and type of the next bin collection the day before it happens. So the (late) new year bin collection was tweeted thus on Wednesday morning:
Fifteen Years of Milton News
On 9th December 1998 the first Milton News mailing went out to subscribers so the list is now celebrating its fifteenth birthday. In those days: Milton News was only a mailing list (called milton-news). No web site or Twitter feed. It ran on the majordomo list server but as time went by it was switched […]
