Newsletter December 2021

Well, December here already, and the festivities seem to start earlier and earlier.

The Parish Council has again organised the erection of Christmas trees around the village, with the centrepiece being the large village tree opposite the church. I write this before the official opening on the 27th November, so am looking forward to the event, with the church supplying mince pies, etc., and no doubt plenty of carol singing as well. It is a week earlier this year because of all the other events in the village, so a packed festive period awaits.

In more mundane matters, our annual asset inspection revealed a lot of maintenance to be caught up with, so next year’s budget setting, which has started already, will prove challenging.

A big thank you to our finance officer, Julie Bolton, for seeing us through the budget before moving on to bigger things, she will be missed, and the search for a replacement has begun.

We also still have a vacancy for a councillor, so if you are interested in either of these posts, please e-mail clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk for further details.

Until next month, have a very merry Christmas!

Rob Reed (Chair, Evercreech PC)
