The meeting due to be held on 11 February will take place on 4 February at 7.00pm in the Village Hall instead.

You are very welcome to attend to ask questions or to raise issues you think the Parish Council may be able to help with. Or, you may just wish to find out what

happens at a meeting.

The Police and Crime Commissioner is consulting on the Police budget for 2025/26. The survey asks how much extra, if anything, you would be willing to pay for local policing next year (2025/26). All residents are encouraged to complete the survey as this will impact council tax bills.

The following is the link to the survey which will close in late January:

Congratulations to Jo Jarman, our Parish Clerk, on achieving her Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA). This nationally recognised qualification is a testament to Jo’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence in serving her council and community. Achieving CiLCA not only enhances the council’s professionalism but also provides a solid foundation for good governance and effective local leadership.

The contractor who installed the new streetlighting in Willoughby has asked for information about how the upgrade was researched and how the conversion from the old sodium lights to LEDs was implemented. They asked for a case study that would help other parish councils do the same.

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is consulting on their proposed new plan. It is crucial that the Commissioner is made aware of the issues which are important to our area.
