Parish Council Meeting held on Monday 12th November
A few matters arising from this meeting :
The Shop : Although nothing tangible has happened concerning the future of the shop, there is still great interest and concern over what is or is not happening. Nic Brown, as the main person involved in doing the best for the village regarding the shop, has it very much in mind.
Stockwell
Plans are still being arranged regarding the redevelopment of the pond area and a volunteer band is being assembled. Anyone interested, please contact Clare Clark of the Parish Council.
Sunday Collections
It was noted that there are no longer Sunday Collections from the pillar box.
