Blocked Footpath

Sunday, 9th Feb 2020/in News/by clerk

Please be aware there are fallen branches and fence panels across the footpath from Pleck Lane (K.Blount) to the old Shoulder of Mutton pub building/path.

This cannot be cleared until tomorrow (certainly not today while the bad weather is ongoing) , so the path will not be usable during the Monday morning school run, or possibly even the afternoon, depending on when our contractor can arrange to clear the path

Oil top up process is running

Wednesday, 29th Jan 2020/in News/by Adam Bernstein

The oil syndicate process for the parish and other villages is now running; the book closes 0900 on 31 January… with some flexibility for those who are fashionably late… Deliveries expected to be complete by mid-February.

Indicative prices for 500l is 47.5p/l+VAT, but for the syndicate is 41.5p/litre+VAT.

As a reminder to a previous post, there’s no cost to join the syndicate, no extra cost for receiving oil through the syndicate and nor is there any obligation to use the syndicate.

If you’re interested, email the organiser, – ASAP.
