Public Forum
Mr Paul Waterson, the Church Warden, spoke to the Parish Council to formally thank them for the donation to buy the new church noticeboard. He also thanked the Parish Council for the volunteers who kept the churchyard looking so good. It had been a tremendous help in easing the financial burden. The next major refurbishment which was needed is the replacement of the old radiators.
The Chairman asked how spaces there were available in the graveyard and there are 30 spaces which should enable the graveyard to be used for the next ten to twelve years.
