The Horse Chestnut Tree
Sadly the Horse Chestnut Tree on Smithy Green (corner of the A49 and Huxley Lane) was taken down on Thursday 15th August. The tree was planted in 1935 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and Queen Mary. In recent years it had been diagnosed with Bleeding Canker and we had hoped it would recover, but this year it was clear to all that it had died. The Parish Council will be discussing what to do next and whether to plant a new tree, so if you have any views on the subject please let the Parish Clerk know, or come along to the next Parish Council Meeting and let your voice be heard.
Parish Council Vacancies
Two of our long standing councillors decided not to put themselves forward for re-election in May and as a result we have vacancies for two Parish Councillors.
The Parish Council meets six times a year and beyond this you can choose to be involved as much or as little as you wish. Most of the people who join have little or no experience. You will be guided through the processes and excellent training is available.
So if you want to be involved with your community and influence what goes on please contact the Parish Clerk and arrange for an informal chat with one or more of the existing councillors.
