This season also heralds the cropping of cob nuts from the tree at the bottom of the garden and it is now a race against the lone squirrel to ensure that he doesn’t get them all! Having said that, it is a joy to watch the industry of these quite clever little animals as they race up and down the tree, manage to get an enormous ‘bunch’ of nuts off the end of a thin branch and down again to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

  • 2015/2016 Report to Parish Council Re: Deanshanger Village Heritage Society
    Deanshanger Annual Parish meeting 22 April 2016 Report booklet Deanshanger Parish Council The parish council would like to thank the residents of Deanshanger for voting for them in the 2015 elections, it’s been a challenge as well as hard work, but though the learning curve is a steep one, the council is delivering results now and has plans for 2016 which will help the village. The parish council have maintained the same precept as 2014/15 which is excellent news to residents as there has been no increased costs. The Council have all finances and the records up to date to ensure the monies secured and held by the Parish Council are accountable and the use of funds is widely known. The council has the precept as well as some secured funds from development in the village. There is also the New Homes Bonus which groups of Deanshanger have access to apply to for funds. We have this year looked to work with the police to ensure we have issues facilitated and managed and worked with the police to maintain a safe environment. Also working with the police and the community to support Neighbourhood Watch and understand where we can support new initiatives such as street watch. The council has seen a lot of a change with new councillors, now up to capacity along with a new clerk. All of which has been exciting and challenging, to ensure that the running of the council is in order, up to standard and for everyone to understand the polices which sometimes have been challenging due to the amount of bureaucracy involved.

Well it goes without saying that we have had a terrible time with the weather so far this year! Although Cosgrove has certainly been in flood, many other places across the country have seen far, far worse. Nonetheless, the storms and the continuous rainfall have had a knock on effect on the progress of work on Bridge No.1. While the restoration work has slowed, other things have progressed. We have acquired and brought back to Cosgrove our new workboat, Louise. She will be a huge asset to our cause. We have also been granted planning permission for our new access track at Cosgrove. Again, this will make entry to this site a lot easier.

    Parish Council Newsletter Summer 2018 An update from the Chairman Hello all, welcome to this addition of our parish news, the year is going so quickly summer is already here how time passes so very quickly, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Rev. James Pennington and his family to out parish and wish them well for the future, I was very proud to attend his inauguration into the church and to be able to say a few words of welcome, I am sure his time with us in Deanshanger will be a productive and happy one. We have also seen the installation of the new British Legion bench on the green outside the DPC office, it looks great and gives even more space for residence to sit and enjoy our beautiful village. On that point I would like to thank the friends and colleagues of our village who work so hard to make our village the special place it is, the flowers, Pocket Park and the entrance to the village look stunning and to our grass cutter Luke and our Handyman Ian in keeping everything looking so good. We have received a massive amount of comments about how nice it all looks. All of this is no easy task and we should take an opportunity to thank all of the village residence who give up their free time to make all of this work for us to enjoy. Our village is growing and getting very busy and we have no doubt that the development of the roundabout will bring more traffic through our village, with summer approaching please take care with all of the children walking to and from school more importantly during the summer holidays, we still see issues with speed, poor parking and heavy queuing traffic, please take care and be alert when driving or getting around.
