COUNCILLORS were delighted to see work starting on the blocking up of the Lodge Lane layby.
This is a project started years ago and delayed for legal and other reasons. Work had begun a month ago, but had to be postponed to give Dan’s Diner time to change location.
Grant go-ahead
AT our meeting on Thursday, 17th March 2011, we were also delighted to hear we have been granted £5,000 from the Parish Fund for improvements, notably providing lighting in the village hall car-park. There will be three sodium ground lights along the length of the car-park and a PIR-switched white light by the gate.
Don’t lose your dog!
WE have been warned that stray dogs are to be handled by Sundown Kennels in Mains Lane, which will charging £70 to collect any and £90 to release them. Owners be warned…
Housing needs

We’ll have more details available at our next meeting, our AGM on 14th April 2011.
