Fly-tipping

December is a very busy time for Father Christmas and sadly we fear he is likely to be tied up with getting presents ready on the 8th. If you know of a suitable stand-in for him, who would be happy to help out at our Christmas on the Hill event, please let us know.

We hope it will be useful for refilling water bottles and also for thirsty four-legged friends on walks around the town.

Volunteering - Community Action
Recently a group of residents have been doing some excellent work tidying up the edges of streets in the town centre- thank you to everyone who has joined in with these work parties. For several reasons, including issues over insurance, the Town Council cannot itself become involved in any project that includes working in the roadway.
However, we would like to harness the enthusiasm of this group and... Read More »
