THE Parish Council (PC) has agreed to provide a donation to the Churchyard Extension project and to take on the grass cutting once the work is completed. This is in response to a request from the Revd. John Swanton who informed the PC that potential donors were looking for confirmation that the work is backed by the PC.

NOTICES are shortly to be placed to invite members of the public to stand for election to the Parish Council, due to the resignations of Cllr Peter Sillett and Cllr Derek Skinner. Both Councillors have served the Parish over a long period of time, overseeing numerous changes and challenges that have benefitted the village in many ways.
