What an appalling few weeks of rain & wind. We hope everyone survived without too much damage - our thoughts go out to those who suffered the severe flooding.
Onto brighter things …
Friday 8 May is the rescheduled bank holiday. It is the 75th anniversary of the ending of World War II in Europe - VE day.
SAVE THE DATE !!
A small army of volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes to put together a village street party on The Green, with live musical entertainment & games, with appearances from Dad’s Army and Land Girl’s as part of the celebrations. Beginning just after lunchtime and running through until the evening, it promises to be a super event. See elsewhere in the Link for other information, but leaflets and flyers will soon be dropping through your doors!
Work on the new community website is now almost complete. We have a “go live” date of Monday 2 March 2020. It is intended for you, the community. Have a look & let us know what you think. Any village organisations/businesses that would like to be included on the website then please let us know. It includes a diary of events, so if you have something planned that you want others to know about, then post it.
The “baby” swing that was removed when the nest swing was installed is to be put back up. We are waiting for a slightly drier day to do so, but it will be soon.
The next Meeting of the Parish Council is on Monday 2 March at 7.30pm in the village hall. Local election are due to take place on Thursday 7 May 2020. This is not just elections to appoint Councillors for the new unitary authority, but also to appoint Parish Councillors.
If you would like to put your name forward to stand as a Parish Councillor then please contact the Clerk - details below
