The Parish Council meeting for June will be held on the 16 June 2026, instead of the usual 2nd Tuesday of the month. The meeting is 6.00pm at the Royal British Legion Hall.

The reason for the change this month is due to Annual Audit pressure and annual leave. This year our internal Auditor had to pull out, and so we lost a month this year before we could appoint a new Auditor.

In July the meeting will return to its usual slot. Thank you

The Parish Council agreed at it’s Council meeting on 14 April 2026 to release the £50,000 pledge made in May 2023.   The previous motion passed on 11 March 2025 was superseded by a new proposal on 14 April 2026. The vote was a majority vote with two counsellors against and one abstaining. The payment will be made from earmarked reserves £35K (money already set aside for the project) and from CIL funds £15K (Community Infrastructure Levy). The CIL money comes to the village as a result of developments and is to be used on village Infrastructure projects only.

So the £50K is already available and the Parish Council will not need to raise new money from tax payers.
