Councillors

The Parish Council was up for election this year and there were 6 nominations for the 7 seats and hence there was no necessity for a poll. We welcome two new Parish Councillors in William Howe, 461389 and Naden Robinson, 469148. Tim Dean and Bob Hallawell retired and we owe them a debt of gratitude for all the hard work they have put in as Parish Councillors over the years. The continuing Councillors are Michael Scott, 460644, Trevor Henson, 460388, Mick Priestley 460730. Andy Lister-Tomlinson. Carl Issitt has been co-opted to the Council to represent Evedon 413644. Jane Gibson is our Clerk - her telephone number is 461063. Please do not hesitate to contact any one of us if you have any problems you consider could be addressed by the Parish Council.

 

Speeding through the Village

The Parish Council continue to work with the Police to try and address the problem of speeding through the village and you may have seen new signs installed. As has been the case in the past, in the main, offenders live in the village. There are an increased number of small children living in the village and the last thing we need is a fatality resulting from excessive speeding.

 

Fouling

Although there has been some real improvement the perennial problem of dogs fouling the pavements and verges within the village continues. Church Lane is a particular problem. Dog owners are again asked to help with this very unpleasant problem. No dogs are allowed on the Playing Field.

 

Security

We would ask everyone in the village to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious to the Police immediately.
