PARISH COUNCIL NOTICE
It is with great sadness that the Parish Council learned of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen on Thursday 8th September 2022 and pass on their condolences and respects to the Royal Family and to the village and nation at this time.
The protocol during the official mourning period is that no council meetings are held during this time and therefore the meetings that were due to be held on Monday 12th September are postponed. The next appropriate date is Monday 26th September 2022, and this will be confirmed nearer the time and due notice given as normal.
Thank you for your understanding.
