Airport
There have been more flights in and out of the airport of late, one of the reasons being that Easyjet now fly from there to several destinations. Even with the change of regulations to allow QC4 aircraft to fly at night, the Parish Council has not been made aware of any serious increase in night-time noise.

Police
Due to the increased use of the airport, the police officers stationed there can no longer be utilised to patrol the surrounding villages. The area from Old Cantley, Branton, Auckley (including the area formerly known as “the camp”) Blaxton and through to Finningley, will now come under one PC based at Rossington, with the assistance of one PCSO.
The PACT (Police and Community Together) meetings which have been held in the various villages covered by the police at the airport and changed location each month, are henceforth to be held at Bawtry and Tickhill only; the name is also being changed to “Have Your Say”. Why the villages have been cut out we have not been informed, but protests will be made.

Playing Field Shelter
Petitions were presented to Doncaster MBC planning department against the installation of a shelter on the playing field. A further petition, signed by users of the field, was presented in favour of having it. Both views were amongst the various factors taken into account when the planning department decided to approve the installation of the shelter. It should be noted that this facility is intended for all users of the field, not just a particular age group or type of user.
