Street furniture
You may have noticed that the bench around the lime tree outside the Cuckoo PH has been refurbished. Some of the wood had seen better days so Cllr Eileen Higgins kindly agreed to spend part of the Borough Ward Support Grant she is allocated to employ the services of a local joiner/carpenter. All the wood has been renewed and the original cast iron frame has been re-painted.
The benches in the cemetery are proving very popular especially since the Borough Council has removed one of the large trees – there is now an uninterrupted view over the valley towards Great Doddington.
Day care grants
Once again the Parish Council has decided to make grants available to organisations within the village who provide day care facilities or for projects that directly benefit the elderly in the community. If the organisation you represent wishes to apply for a Day Care Grant please ensure you read details of the criteria required and complete the short application form. (Funds are limited.) Download the criteria and application form.
'Master composting' scheme
All District and Borough Councils in the County are trying to work together to set up a Master Composting Scheme. Wellingborough Borough Council is looking for people over 18 years of age in our area who may be interested in volunteering. The scheme aims to raise awareness, encourage more people and support those already composting. If you would like more details please contact Lisa Bignell , Waste Management Officer on 01933 231731 or recycling@wellingborough.gov.uk
