In spite of there being staff vacancies over the past few months that need to be filled, the Council has been able to make headway with a number of key projects. Our fifteen Open Spaces are being reviewed to plan for their futures with significant progress being made; for example the community renovation of Cockpit Hole, the detailed plans for Burnham Meadow and Spinney and the development of the Old Allotments in Great Kingshill. The Garden of Rest has been further landscaped and the allotment management significantly improved.
Speeding, a high priority for residents, has seen community speedwatch continue unabated thanks to volunteers. The speed signs are returning after being damaged when the batteries were stolen. Contractors have been keeping the hedges and verges tidy, and tree removal continues when they, unfortunately, succumb to disease. We have also provided several grants to village halls and others to improve their facilities.
The Council now has an experienced Locum Clerk, Philip Truppin, who is working to bring stability back to the Council and to bring us back on track after the past two years of volatility. There are still some councillor vacancies and residents who wish to contribute to their community in that way can contact the Locum on [email protected].
