FLOODS
Cllrs Argyle, Tucker and Cheetham have studied the initial flood action plan produced for the parish by Wychavon District Council. They are in talks with the Wychavon officers and are presenting the parish council’s own road/water level survey of Broad Lane as part of their submission in response to the plan.

FIRST RESPONDER SCHEME
This scheme was initially funded by the parish council and it has already saved lives. Now members have agreed to fund partial payment for another kit so that cover can be increased in the area. Sincere thanks go to all those who are part of the scheme.

VILLAGE SERVICES
Members are in talks about the future of the village shop and pub with all people involved – see the PC newsletter for more information.

BUS SERVICE
Residents raised the issue of the lack of public transport serving Bishampton. It is hoped that a representative from the county transport department will be able to come and speak at a meeting soon. If so, notices will be posted so that interested people can come along to hear him speak.

Next Meeting
The next meeting of the council is scheduled for Monday, October 6th, at Throckmorton Parish Room. 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.
