Nine local people stood as candidates for the eight councillor places representing the ‘Dobwalls ward’ of the parish Trewidland (Dobwalls village, from the railway to the north east).The newly elected members of the parish Council are shown opposite. The ‘Trewidland ward’ (which covers the southern and western areas of the parish including Doublebois and Boduel) had only two candidates standing for re-election, so both were confirmed. However this does mean that there is still one council place designated for this ward which has not been filled. Parishioners in the western area of the parish e.g. Doublebois or Boduel etc. might consider putting themselves forward to represent this area in the future. Responsibilities of new Parish Councillors will be agreed at the first meeting of new council at the Annual Parish Council meeting on the 17th May. Contact details for all councillors and details of their responsibilities will be available in the Minutes of this Annual Parish Council meeting, which will be available at: www.dobwallsandtrewidland.org.uk. Councillors will be pleased to give you advice on any matters relating to their area of the parish or responsibilities.

As a Parish Council we should be very pleased with the turn out and also on the way around two young children called Storm and Jamie tagged along to help. The full black bags shown below indicate what a worthwhile event it was for everyone involved. Trewidland’s Litter-pick was not quite such a community event, although Councillor Hugh Francis managed to collect a whole bag of litter between Horningtops and the lower end of Trewidland Village. Last year’s ‘Clean for the Queen’ efforts are still ensuring that the lanes in Trewidland have been more troubled by mud and potholes than by litter – though even the potholes have now been dealt with! 9 10 11 12 13 28th- 29th July Dobwalls Charity Beer Festival 14 Lunch at School… brings back good memories! Dobwalls School will be starting its Lunch project this Summer. In an attempt to help bridge the generation gap they are inviting retired members of the community into the school at lunchtime to share a meal with the children. Our meals are freshly cooked daily on site and will cost £2.64 for a main meal and pudding. At 12 noon Diners will be met by a child at the door and shown down to the hall where they will sit with a group of children and chat while eating the lunch they previously ordered. Our Wednesday menu is our roast day, always a popular choice amongst the children; however jacket potatoes or a vegetarian option is always available as well. Children usually take about half an hour to eat their meal and then go outside to play. You will be invited to go outside with the children if you wish where we have lots of seating available and where I am sure children will want to sit and chat with you. Lunchtimes ends at 1pm when the children return to class and bid you goodbye. Access around the school is good with a gentle slope leading down to the hall. Disabled toilets are close to the hall if required. We have no steps that need to be negotiated as we always have a slope option with plenty of hand rails. Our first lunch session will be at 12 noon on Wednesday 7th June followed by 14th, 21st, 28th June and then 5th, 12th,19th July. We would love to hear from you if you would like to come and join us. There is no commitment to visit every Wednesday.
