The council are due to collect the bags from outside the village hall during the coming days.

Please keep an eye open for the date of the next litter pick, more volunteers are always welcome.

Annual Parish Meeting

Little Rissington Parish Council

Annual Parish Meeting
Monday 19th March 7.00pm
Village Hall

 

The Annual Parish Meeting is not a meeting of the Parish Council but is called by the Chairman of the Parish Council as a meeting of Parish Electors. The meeting is meant to celebrate local activities and debate current issues in the community.

There will be a report from the Chairman on activities last year and a report from the traffic action group. The Parish Council have been asked to consider turning off or dimming street lights overnight and Lesley from GCC will be at the meeting to explain the options and to answer questions before a decision is made.

There will also be a further opportunity to discuss the possibility of having a Parish Plan, and Bryan will be explaining the new Parish website.

Finally, and most importantly, this is your chance to raise and debate issues of concern in the village. This is particularly useful for the Parish Council in deciding their action plan for next year.

Please note that there will be Parish Council Meeting after this meeting which we hope to start by 8.30pm

This year my plant sale will not be in aid of the Village Hall but if anyone would like to help on the day with plant selling or teas or would like to donate a cake, I would be extremely grateful.  50% of the funds raised will be for Cystic Fibrosis as a close friend has recently had two of her children diagnosed with this life shortening disease and I would like to help.  Thank you – Sheila Thorpe, 822846

Welcome to the new look Website

Hello and welcome to the revised Little Rissington website.

There has been a flurry of activity behind the scenes to provide a better website with vastly improved functionality.

The new format allows the use of different contributors for different areas, and I would like to invite you all to contribute and offer suggestions as to additional content.

You will see we still have much to do, and there are many areas of the site which are still under construction.  We hope to have these all completed shortly.

If you would like to see a particular subject have it’s own area, and would like to help manage the content which is added then please get in touch.

Many thanks

Bryan.
