3 Parish Council The Parish Council has given a donation of spring bulbs to a working group of volunteers led by Ray Harrison. The volunteers have spent a considerable amount of time and effort clearing the wall and the Beck transforming the area which will continue to be mown for the foreseeable future. The ivy has lifted the coping stones on the wall but that is good for wildlife habitat and the bulbs are already starting to show.

PARISH PRECEPT 2018/ 19
NYCC Highways have advised the Parish that its 22 SOX streetlights are being phased out due to the introduction of LED technology and that manufacturers are stopping their production making replacements impossible. Therefore, with effect from 2019/20, these lamps will be unmaintainable and the Parish Council will need to replace all of these lights. The Council has insufficient reserves to undertake such a project in one go and it has decided that as and when each lamp fails it will be replaced by LED lights which cost in the region of £1,500 each.
The Parish Council is also mindful as to the rising maintenance costs of the Churchyard trees, hedges and mowing.
Therefore, the SDC precept request for 2018/19 will be £17,500 in total this is an unavoidable Band D parish charge of £97.08 an increase of £12.09 per year or £14.2%.
RESIGNATION OF COUNCILLOR G RING
The Parish Council would like to thank Cllr Gerard Ring for his invaluable contribution to the parish and with great regret accepts his resignation. Selby DC has been informed and a Notice of Vacancy has been placed on the noticeboard and website. Ten electors or more now have the opportunity to contact Selby DC to call for an election by the 25th January if Selby do not receive such a demand they will inform the Council in due course and a further update will be given at the February meeting.
The next Council meetings will take place on 29th January 2018 and 26th February 2018 at The Courtyard Tearoom all are welcome.

Womersley Community Handbell Ringers
We have had another very enjoyable year that has included recruiting four new and valuable members to the group and a busy Christmas period. We have performed at a residential home in Pontefract, two concerts with Snaith and District Choral Society, during the service on Easter Day and at the Candlelight service before Christmas at St. Martin?s. The feedback we have had has been very positive, although non of the performances were without mistakes so we look forward to interesting practices to make improvements.
We are still hoping to expand the group, to join you do not need to be able to read music and anyone over the age of eighteen who is interested, will be very welcome. We meet each Monday afternoon from 3pm to 4.45pm, at St. Martin?s Church in Womersley, if you would like more information, just come to a practice or contact Sue at [email protected] or 01405 862484
