Last week we cut the grass at the Church Yard and the Burial Ground as we have been keeping our Handyman out of the Community following conversations today Mike is to start with the Playing are off Addison Road, he will be keeping hours to minimum to ensure his and your safety but as lock down continues we also recognise that these areas need attention. Please maintain social distancing if you see him, and we will hope to get back to some sense of normality soon. THANK YOU all for your understanding at this difficult time.

Monday 20th April. As many of you maybe aware over the weekend the Government advised that the need to lock Burial grounds was to be reversed , thats such good news I am sure you will agree. As a Parish Council we took the decision not to lock ours and to allow residents to use their common sense . I will remove the signs over the next couple of days as I am working from home at the moment .So please remember social distancing when visiting your loved ones and lets all hope this dreadful situation improves. Our thoughts are of course with all those who have lost loved ones not just to Covid 19 but for any reason . Please stay safe everyone.

Monday 6th April.  I have been asked today if the Burial site is open. I am sad to say that no it is not. Government guidelines state that all Crematoria and Burial Grounds are closed except for new cremations and burials. As a Parish Council we have not physically locked the Burial Ground at this time and rely on the visitors to respect that at this difficult time its not something we wish to do and request  that they stay away. We understand that this is distressing but for the safety of yourselves the wider community and to protect the NHS we have all been asked to stay at home. I have also been advised by the Church that it will remain locked and that Church Grounds are also under the same rules and they also request people to stay safe at hom
