Cemetery
A major improvement has taken place in the cemetery this year involving the removal of the breeze block wall on the south and east sides, the removal of the piecemeal hedging on the north side and the filling in and piping of the dyke on the north side. A hedge has been planted on the south, east and north sides of the cemetery. The entrance gates to the cemetery are to be replaced when funds permit together with metal railings running down the roadside.
Speeding through the Village
The Parish Council continue to work with the Police to try and address the problem of speeding through the village and you may have seen the speed monitoring equipment set up in the village from time to time. As has been the case in the past, in the main, offenders live in the village. There are an increased number of small children living in the village and the last thing we need is a fatality resulting from excessive speeding.
Fouling
Although there has been some improvement, the perennial problem of dogs fouling the pavements and verges within the village continues. Church Lane is a particular problem. Dog owners are again asked to help with this very unpleasant problem. No dogs are allowed on the Playing Field.
Security
We would ask everyone in the village to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious to the Police immediately.
