CANTLEY WITH BRANTON PARISH COUNCIL – LATEST NEWS

1) Cantley with Branton Village Hall Association

 The Village Hall Association formed during the 1980s with the late Jim Smith as Chair raised a sum of £9,435.59 through activities such as village galas and jumble sales etc. As only two members remain (the widow of Mr Smith and the Treasurer) a decision has been made to donate the proceeds to the parish council for the sole purpose of supporting the provision of a village hall.

This donation is greatly appreciated and the parish council would like to thank the members of the association for their hard work and hope that it will be possible for the funds to be utilised in the near future.

 2) Dog Fouling

 Concerns continue over the instances of dog fouling both on footpaths and walkways. Dog owners are therefore asked to use the designated dog litter bins in order to ensure the health and safety of everyone especially young children.

3) Car Parking on Valley Drive

 Whilst some improvements have been experienced due to the cooperation of local residents, parking near the school at the beginning and end of the school day and on the grass verges continues to be an issue.

4) New Post Office Facilities

 Alterations to the Post Office at Branton have been completed and now provide for a welcomed disability friendly access and additional stock.

The parish council has purchased a new notice board and this is now on display next to the main entrance for residents’ perusal.

5) Next Update

 The next update will be in December 2008 and will include more details on the Christmas carol singing due to take place on Monday 8 December at 6.30 p.m.
