During the arctic conditions of early
January, it was pleasing to see that the ducks still had some water
in which to swim, though most of the pond was frozen over. Even
after the snow had all gone, in the middle of the pond there was
still an iceberg on which they were walking.
Seeing so many sledges and snowmen about showed that many people
were enjoying the snow, though that kind of weather is not to everyone’s
taste. One further good thing about it, my lawn looked as good as
anyone else’s until the thaw!
The police continue to visit our village, resulting in a low crime
rate for our area, for which we are all grateful. Long may they
keep ‘showing the uniform’.
Following repeated protests by the parish council and others, First
bus company have relented and given us back our half-hourly service
from the start of February.
The parish council is pleased to report that the precept (the part
of the council tax required for upkeep of the village) for 2010-2011
has been maintained at the same level for the 7th consecutive year.
David Lindley, Chairman.
