The Next Parish Council meeting will be
on 20th March at 7.15pm in the Reading Room.
Cllr Ian Heslop is our Fire Warden for
the Reading Room having volunteered after Neville Gray talked us
through the requirements.
The Closure of the bridge is imminent –
there will have been a meeting in February for residents and I do
hope any questions have been answered by now. The Parish Council are
in close contact with County Council and will try to update you as
much as possible.
The Parish Council have decided to hire
a contractor for cutting grass on their own land this season. They
will also continue to monitor that which is cut by County Council and
Isos.
A very welcome and constructive on site
meeting was held in February with representatives from County
Council. Areas covered included potholes, overgrowth, parking and it
is the County Council’s intention to hold these on a regular basis.
Certainly, talking through issues face to face seems more
productive.
The Councillors are still considering
recycling facilities but recognise that options are limited. Cllr
Lesley Richardson is hopeful that a carton bank can be installed and
she will provide the Council with more details at the next meeting,
including possible locations.
