VILLAGE POND –
The latest attempt to mop up some of the algae which continues to
spoil the appearance of the pond has been to put four bales of barley
straw into the water. The effects will be monitored.
BUS (route 91) – After over half a century
of reversing into a side road at the Finningley terminus to turn
the buses round, First bus company decided not to continue this
manoeuvre on the grounds of safety. First intended to simply discontinue
the use of the last two stops and to turn the bus at the village
green, but following pressure from representatives of the parish
council to keep these stops, a compromise has been reached whereby
the route from Blaxton roundabout is now a circular one through
Finningley village (and parts of Blaxton) rather than “there
and back”. Whilst this small inconvenience to some passengers
is regretted, it is nowhere near the difficulty which would have
arisen for the other passengers had First had their way and shortened
the route.
VILLAGE HALL – After much effort, a replica
of the original school bell has now been made and fitted to the
bell tower on the village hall (which was originally the village
school). Many thanks to all those involved.
ROAD CLOSURE – On Remembrance Sunday (8th
November), there will as usual be a short service at the cenotaph
at Blaxton, followed by a parade from there to Finningley Church.
In the interests of road safety, the police will this year close
the affected roads.
