Hale Parish Council Meeting/News

The monthly meeting took place on Monday 15th June, of Hale Parish Council, in Hale Village Hall.

Here are a number of items from the meeting, in no particular order..

The Parish Council now has a new Clerk, as Bob, our former clerk has retired from the post after several years! Alison Jones in the “chair” thanked Bob for all his hard work and welcomed the new clerk, Tina Rogers Smith (hope I have that right!?) to the meeting.

The Baby Clinic, that has operated in the village hall for over 30 years, is to cease shortly.

Further inquiries are in hand, regarding the preservation of the Childe of Hale’s Wood Carving outside the church.

Further work is planned on the village hall, which is estimated at being around £5000.

New mobile speed cameras are to be introduced soon, in three locations around the village.

Locations/homes in the village, that have hedge or the likes overhanging/obstructing a public footpath, may be contacted in due course about a Common Bye law requiring that their hedgerow etc, be kept neatly trimmed allowing people to walk freely along the such footpaths, this also includes trees and bushes etc that could be obstructing village signs.
Non compliance with such requests may result in the work being done anyway and homeowners being charged for the work being carried out by the local contractor/council?
