BISHAMPTON AND THROCKMORTON PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCIL NEWS: OCTOBER 2009
COUNCILLORS
Another vacancy has arisen on the parish council with the resignation of Cllr
Jon Morrison, who is moving away. The council wishes him every success in his
new home and thanks him on behalf of the community for his three years served
on the parish council. The council hopes to co-opt a new member at the November
meeting.
CRIME
A number of crimes have been reported to the police lately around Bishampton,
some more serious than others. The police advise anyone with information to
call on the non-urgent police number – 0300 3333000 – so they can
collate the details and take action.
KIOSKS
BT plans to close the two public telephones in the parish. It has offered the
kiosks to the parish at the cost of £1 and the PC has agreed to purchase
the Bishampton kiosk, which will mean taking on the costs/responsibility for
its future. Councillors are considering using it as an information centre –
ideas welcome!
GRANT
The PC donated £50 to the Bishampton & District Gardening Club, along
with another £22 to pay for bulbs which members have kindly agreed to
plat at the War Memorial.
Next Meeting
The next meeting of the council takes place on Monday, November 2nd, at Throckmorton
Parish Room. Then December 7th at Bishampton. Meetings are usually held on the
first Monday of the month and start at 7.30pm and alternate between Bishampton
and Throckmorton halls. Watch the notice boards for details of the agenda. All
meetings begin with an open forum session for people to raise issues/ideas for
consideration by the council. Or
