Building Works for Cemetery Improvements

Building work is currently taking place in the cemetery on Wotton Road. Three workmen are extending the memorial garden to the right hand side of the existing site. This will roughly double the size of memorial garden. Work is also taking place at the same time to improve the condition of the paths running through the cemetery.

The Parish Council requests that visitors take care when visiting the cemetery and memorial garden during the period of the works. This is expected to continue for another two to three weeks or so depending on the progress of the projects and also weather conditions.

Three workmen will be on site at certain times, and also works equipment, to include a dumper truck.

Annual Parish Meeting and Annual Report.

The Parish Council held its Annual Meeting on the 3rd April and presented its Annual Report. This is a summary of the previous year's activities and financial summary. Additionally an outline of plans for the following year.

New Website

Feedback on the new Parish Council website has been good. The Clerk receives monthly reports on overall website usage. This shows visitor numbers have increased during July 2017.

To include forthcoming community events as a listing on the Parish council website please contact the Clerk in the first instance.

Transparency rules

New Parish Council websites are required to meet special Transparency rules by the end of March 2017. This involves the uploading of key information concerning the Council activities, policies and finances. The benefits to the community are greater access to Council information and activities. This process is also important in the lead up to changes in the External Audit procedures next year which will rely on more detailed information becoming available on Council websites. Contact the Clerk for further information.
