A Representative from the Northern Powergrid Foundagtion Fund will be visiting the village hall to view the project on Friday, 29th May from 12.30 - 1pm.

Jess Cook is head of the Foundation and is keen to meet any residents and village hall users who would like to have a look at the new equipment and find out all about it and refreshments will be available for anyone who would like to pop in for a chat.

As most residents will be aware, speeding through the village is an age old problem. The Parish Council has recently investigated joining a trial for a fixed speed camera for the village. This is ongoing and may not come to fruition due to costs involved. In the meantime, there is an option to use a voluntary scheme consisting of a team of a minimum of 6 people who will be trained to use the equipment provided and recording system used to register vehicles speeding and pass on the information to the Police who will then take further action. This action will involve a letter being sent from the Police to the vehicle owner advising them of their excess speed. This is meant to be a soft approach to the problem, however, persistent offenders will be prosecuted.

To look at this option the Parish Council will need to register a team of a minimum of 6 individuals and is keen to hear from any residents interested in joining the volunteer team.

For more details about the scheme or to chat about joining the team please contact any of the Councillors or email the clerk at

The Parish Council has been awarded a grant from the Northern Powergrid Foundation to install a battery back up installation at the Village Hall to run in conjunction with the wind turbine. This will enable the Hall to be used as a safe warm hub in the event of prolonged power cuts.
The system is currently being installed and its hoped to be commissioned early March.
We are currently waiting for Quickline to install internet at the Hall and this will make the Hall more attractive to hire out for meetings etc. Once the internet is installed if anyone would be interested in IT courses etc we can look at funding to try and run these.
