Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

This is a request for winter volunteers for this winter season 2023-2024.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the volunteers that took part in our Community Gritting Scheme last winter. 

For those hearing about the Community Gritting Scheme for the first time, this is a scheme where Local volunteers can help to keep their community moving in freezing weather. Under this scheme, the parish or town council decides on specific routes in their area which are important to the local community and agrees them with the county council.   

If you are a parish or town council looking to join the scheme, please send your completed form by 31^st October 2023.

I will need a form for each of your volunteers, including those who have volunteered before.  The form is required annually ensure our health and safety standards are being met. 

See below for a link to the Community Gritting registration form:

If you would prefer a paper form please let me know.

If you spot a grit bin that is empty or running low, please let us know through our
online reporting tool. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

“What’s Love Got To Do With It”

Cert 12A – stars Lily James

(Comedy / Romance)

How do you find lasting love in today’s world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay.
For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan.
As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

You are all invited to come along to our warm building for a top-class movie screening plus refreshments served during the interval.
No charges are made for admission, however we are fundraising to improve disability access and our appearance at the front entrance so all proceeds this winter are going towards this scheme and we ask that any donations you make are as generous as you can afford. Thank you!

There is no planning meeting tonight as there were only 2 planning applications.
