ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
This year the Parish Council are proposing to make changes in the village playground.
Investigations have shown us that the removal of the existing equipment to be replaced is a
large proportion of the cost. As a result, I am looking to create a list of people willing to
volunteer their services that can be called upon when and if the situation becomes a reality.
Having to pay the contractors to ‘make good’ the areas would most likely place the project
over budget. Please reply to andrew.king@littoncheney.org.uk if you are to put your name
forward. I will be putting the results to the PC next Tuesday. Your assistance would be
gratefully received. THANK YOU.
For your information, the equipment to be replaced are two parts of the “galleon” (bow and
midship climbing apparatus).
NEW PARISH PLAN
At the Parish Council meeting on the 11th of November Cllr Firrell reported that during his
and Cllr Orchard’s attendance at the DAPTC/Dorset Council Devolution event at the end of
October, parish councils were encouraged to renew or create a Parish Plan, focusing on how
residents envision the village developing in future years. Consideration of parish boundaries
was also suggested. He provided background on the creation of the previous Parish Plan in
2005 and it was unanimously agreed to form a steering group in the new year to explore the
feasibility of producing a new Parish Plan.
A copy of the 2005 plan can be read here.
