Last month I reported on the grounds maintenance contract and explained that Barrett Lane in Litton is allowed to become overgrown in the early autumn to provide a supply of sweet cicily seeds for use in the well dressing. Since then I have been told there is an ample stock of seeds and supplies can be secured elsewhere. So Barrett Lane will be cut back in the autumn to provide a clear route for walkers.
Overall the Parish is relatively litter free and for this we have to thank all those residents who take the trouble to pick up litter as they walk around our roads, tracks and lanes or who come together for a communal litter pick. Unfortunately the same can not be said about dog fouling and there are some locations which are particularly badly affected. The Parish Council has ordered a number of signs to warn against dog fouling and will be installing a bin on Bottomhill Road in Litton. If you know of an area which is particularly badly affected please let your local Councillor know and we will try to do something about it.
This year the Council will be holding its Annual Parish Meeting on Wednesday 21 May from 6.30 to 7.30 pm and nearer the time we will be circulating the agenda and further information to all households. It is important to the Council that we listen to what you say and check that what we are doing and plan to do reflects the needs of the Parish. So please make a note of the date in your diary and further information will arrive early in May.
