Mylander - Issue 99

11 Council Reports Visitors continuously popped in and out, and many others stayed to enjoy the afternoon refreshments with tea and cake. There is a general feeling that although there can be no denying that Myland has significantly changed over those 25 years, it has remained a place where people enjoy living. Myland has a rich heritage in both cultural and natural senses and this will continue to evolve, as does Myland itself, after all the records suggest its history as an identifiable settlement of its own goes back to at least 1254. The debate goes on today as to whether the correct term for the Parish is Myland or Mile End and history books themselves fluctuate on that matter. The formation of the Council in 1999 was as Myland Parish Council and this was later changed to Community Council. It was a pleasure to welcome and chat with visitors and we look forward to adding to and sharing our knowledge and experience of where we live.
