Update Regarding Cockle Alley
The Countryside Access Manager has advised the Parish Council that notices regarding the removal of the obstructions from the path will be put out in the next week or two.

Sale of Pews
The Parish Council have the old pews that
were used in the pavilion at the recreation
field. The pews originally came from the
Chapel at Wrangle Bank, needless to say
some are in better condition than others.
The Parish Council considered sending
them to a local auction, but thought it better
if the pews remained in the village. With
this in mind all residents will be given the
opportunity to give a sealed bid for the
pews, individually, any remaining pews will
be sent to the auction. The money raised
will be spent at the recreation field.
