Mill Lane will be repaired between 9th-13th February.

Whilst there are cuts in the police force, it is expected there will be night-time patrols following on from several burglaries of sheds and farms in the area.

Cllr Devine has received phone calls and emails regarding a potential planning application for the field adjacent to the Village Hall and he advised that he will remain neutral.

Recreation

The Parish Council will be installing an in-ground trampoline at the Recreation Ground which is suitable for younger children. This will replace the sandpit which is not used on a regular basis and unfortunately has been used by dogs which has made it unsafe for children.

The Parish Council continue to proceed with a plan to extend the car park at the Recreation Ground which will allow parking for school ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ times as well as more spaces for local people to park at the Recreation Ground.

Highways

The Parish Council continue to work with the WC Parish Steward on highways tasks that need to be carried out in and around the village. These tasks include, cleaning road signs, clearing gullies / grips, etc.

If there are any tasks which you think would be suitable for the Steward to undertake, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Clerk or a member of the Parish Council.

Finance
