Parish News - February 2016
Since the last magazine, Lesley Holden has tendered her
resignation and co-option is currently underway. She has been a
valuable member of the Parish Council and her contributions will be
missed.
As a result of the damage caused by the floods, £1000 has been given to the Scout Group. Their recent meeting held in church (as the Old School House had once again been flooded) produced a huge turnout and many offers to help. Fundraising is well under way and I am sure the funds will be raised.
A supply of gel bags has been purchased by the Parish Council and these are available to residents at a reduced price. These bags can be used as an alternative to sand bags and could help to keep flood water at bay. For more information, please contact Councillors Chalmers, Gray or Jordon.
A fence has been installed at the playing field – extending the existing fence to cover a gap in the hedge.
The next meetings will be on Thursday 18th February 2016 followed by 17th March 2016.

Bridge Latest
Latest news from the County Council is that the bridge won't be re-opened to traffic before Christmas. We'll keep you posted but we don't have any further news at the moment.

Parish News - October 2015
Two new notice boards have been erected in the village. One is by
the entrance to the playing fields (Windsor Crescent) and the other
on Bewick Lane, opposite the entrance to North Meadows. I am sure
they will be well used as there is usually so much going on in the
village.
Although results have been obtained following the recent speed monitoring, the Parish Council have asked that a further one be carried out after the bridge has re-opened and then the data will be analysed.
A fence has been place by the stepping stones and work will be carried out to refurbish/repair the millennium bench which has been damaged.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 15th October at 7.15pm.

Parish News - August 2015
The recent vacancy on the Parish Council has been filled by Ian
Campbell who will be officially co-opted at the September meeting. Ian
has lived in the village for many years and I am sure, is well known
to many of you. Thanks also go to the other resident who expressed
interest – unfortunately on this occasion he was not successful,
but it is good to see people come forward.
Speed monitoring should have taken place this month in the village although it may be some time before the results have been passed on.
Arrangements are in hand for new notice boards (which may well be in place by the time you read this).
September also sees the Parish Council looking at options to include on the Local transport Plan for 2016-2017. In the past, this has included a path from Ovington as well as improving the road.
The next Parish Council meeting is on 17th September at 7.15pm.
