Just a quick reminder that Wednesday evening's parish and town council meetings are still going ahead as planned.

Much as we appreciate the importance of the World Cup, it doesn't qualify as an official reason for absence! 😄

Please also remember that once the agenda has been issued, the meeting can't be rescheduled.

Thanks all—enjoy the football after the meeting! ⚽
