Newsletter July 2021

It was great relief to finally be able to meet up again in the village hall for our socially distanced June meeting. The zoom meetings were adequate but frustrating, and another step on the road beyond covid is surely to be welcomed.

It was noted the rubbish bin outside the village hall had seen better days, and was in need of replacement. One has been ordered, so hopefully replaced soon. Mary-Lou has been out and about keeping the village spic and span, doing a grand job, but it would help everyone enormously if we all picked up our own rubbish, in particular dog poo, which is again appearing far too regularly.

Debate was had on the future of the condemned skatepark at Weston town. The harras fencing protecting it has been moved and bent, so a possibility is to remove the skateboard track completely whilst we apply for grants to renew. This would at least comply with health and safety requirements.

Sport is returning to the playing fields, including a new rugbytots session at Queens Road starting shortly, so the village is springing back into life at last.

The next PC meeting is Tues 6th July, once again at the village hall. Public welcomed as always, we look forward to seeing you there.
