Very sadly Reg Holmes died suddenly at his home on Tuesday 25th February 2025. Reg had been a parish councillor since since 2003 rarely missing a meeting. A builder by trade he undertook free of charge many tasks for the council, including repairs in the play area, installing litter bins, fixing footpath signs and recently with other councillors helping to re-erect the original village sign in front of the village hall.
The parish council now has all vacancies filled.
