BISHAMPTON AND THROCKMORTON PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCIL NEWS: NOVEMBER 2006
New Councillor
The Parish Council was very pleased to welcome Mr Jon Morrision
as a member of the Council. Jon was co-opted to the Council following the resignation
of Mrs Mandy Hall.
Footpath Work
Footpath improvements have been agreed by the
Parish Council which should reduce the muddy section at the end of the
Silver Jubilee Walk and provide a stepped access into the paths in “Flag Field” at
the rear of The Dolphin.
Airfield Development Plans
All parishioners should have received a letter
concerning the proposed airfield development exhibition in the Villages hall
on 16th November. The Parish Council will be meeting immediately following
the exhibition to discuss the proposals with other local Parish Councils
and to formulate its own response to the document.
Canadian Airman Memorial
Some time ago, a suggestion was put forward for
a memorial to the Canadian Airman who lost their lives flying out of Throckmorton
Airfield in the 1939-45 war. Throckmorton councillors will be looking at
suitable proposals for a memorial and would welcome input from anyone who
feels they have some useful ideas to contribute.
Archiving Parish Records
The Parish Council has recently conducted a significant clear-out of old
material from its files in an attempt to reduce the two four drawer cabinets
to something more manageable. However, recognising that some of the archived
material was irreplaceable and may have some historical significance, a couple
of boxes of old minutes, correspondence relating to local developments etc.
have been archived in the Worcester Records Office.
Christmas Refuse Collection Dates
The Christmas waste collection dates for the area
are as follows. The collection for Christmas Day will be two days early but
collections will then run one day late until January 8 when they will return
to normal.
