BISHAMPTON AND THROCKMORTON PARISH COUNCIL

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS: MAY 2008

Annual Parish Meeting

PC AGM

Local Police Officer

Annual Parish Meeting
Just four members of the public attended the Bishampton Annual Parish Meeting (Throckmorton’s was to be held later in May). Village organisations gave their reports and the chairman of the parish council gave his annual round-up of events. Details will be placed on the parish website. Issues raised included the state of the Bishampton pavements and problems with lorries turning in Moat Farm Lane, which they sometimes do not realise is a cul-de-sac.
Also there were complaints about dog fouling once again – please remember that it is harmful to grazing animals and for crops, and that the same rules apply if you leave dog mess in farmers’ fields.

PC AGM
The annual meeting of the parish council saw Cllr Don Cheetham unanimously re-elected as chairman and Cllr Charles Tucker unanimously elected vice chairman.

Local Police Officer
The parish council welcomed PC Stuart Toms as the new Local Police Officer for this area. He can be contacted via Evesham police station. Also see the www.westmercia.police.uk website for details of the Evesham Rural West Team.

Next Meeting
The next meeting of the council is scheduled for Monday, June 2nd, at Bishampton village hall. Watch the notice boards for details of the agenda. All Parish Council meetings begin with an open forum session for people to raise issues/ideas for consideration by the council.
