We have a new piece of equipment on the playpark - a walk through see-saw.

I am settling into my new post as clerk and learning very quickly about this beautiful village. I have a background in Local Government and hold the Diploma of Higher Education in Local Policy from the University of Gloucestershire. Members of the public and residents have been extremely helpful in educating me about the village and the Internet Google Maps have provided a bird's eye view to see the village and its environs from above: which really helps in identifying problem areas in their right context. Please feel free to call the office, or pop in, on any Monday, Tuesday or Thursday morning between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm and I shall be very pleased to meet you and to help in any way I can. Best wishes, Linda [Mrs L S SHERER, Clerk to the Council]

Last Friday saw the Annual Parish Web Site meeting at Beaumanor and Great Glen won an award for best graphics!

The Council agreed to support the under 12's junior football team for the current season. On Sunday 2nd February Cllr Valerie Hawes, Chairman of the Recreation Committee, was presentedafter with a team photograph showing the new kit purchased by the Council.
The junior football teams, especially under 12's and under 13's are currently looking for players. Contact Dave Ball for further information and visit their web site for details.

Although the public exhibition has ended showing an outline proposal to build 300 houses on the edge of the village, Miller Homes have left draft plans in the Parish Office for Parishoners to view and comment. Come along during office hours and see the provisional plans for yourself.
