Newsletter July 2023

We were pleased to hear that Stoney Stratton has now match funded our contribution towards moving the 30 MPH limits and plans will be put in place to facilitate the work.

We are awaiting decision regarding installation of a SID (speed indicator device) for the entrance to the village and we will be discussing at the next meeting the possibility of another at Pecking Mill corner.

Speed is an ongoing issue in the village and surrounding area. We can’t stop bad drivers but mitigate the risks as much as possible by providing deterrents when we can.

The Skate Park plans have been approved and now waiting the next stage to begin. We would like to thank NASS for their generous donation of 6k towards the project.

Unfortunately, we have had another councillor resign, Cllr Mackness (what are we doing to them? I hear you ask) this was due to work related commitments. This now leaves us with 3 vacancies.

The role is a voluntary one and can be demanding and frustrating at times but also rewarding, we work well together in a non-political environment with the best interest of the village at the heart of discussions and decisions. We invite anyone interested to apply.

Looking forward to the LCN (Local Council Network) to see if it is of benefit to the way we do things in the future,

Any questions, please contact the Clerk.

Next PC meeting will be 1st August at 7pm village hall.
