Barriers at The Parish Hall, Thornwood

Barriers are being installed at the entrance to The Parish Hall, Thornwood, by North Weald Bassett Parish Council, following an increase in anti-social behaviour surrounding the hall and in the car park.
Councillors have approved spending £5,463 on barriers and their installation.

Community events

North Weald Bassett Parish Council is planning three community events - in North Weald, Hastingwood and Thornwood - to highlight the work of the council over the past year.
The events would replace the usual Annual Parish Assembly - which has been cancelled because of COVID-19 - and give the council the opportunity to highlight ongoing matters in the Parish such as North Weald Airfield and the Inland Border Facility.
The council is looking to hold the events, which could include its Citizen of the Year awards, in October.

Flagpoles

North Weald Bassett Parish Council is to purchase a flagpole for The Parish Hall at Thornwood Common and to offer to purchase one for Hastingwood Village Hall.

Hall feasibility study

North Weald Bassett Parish Council is to undertake a feasibility study on The Parish Hall at Thornwood Common as it starts to debate its future and maintenance requirements - and looks to attract new hirers into the building.
