NOCTON
PARISH COUNCIL
Amongst items discussed at
the June Meeting were the
provision of a play area for small children.
Now that the interior of the
Village Hall has been
decorated, quotes have been sought for the painting of the exterior.
Traffic, particularly
lorries, speeding into the
village is a constant concern and the Road Safety Partnership have been
asked
for their help.
The cutting of the grass
verges by the County Council
contractors was inadequately done.
Nocton Hall has been a
concern of the P.C. since its
closure, since the fire it has become a major concern.
With material being taken from the Hall the
Chairman wrote to the owners and has received written confirmation that
they
have given no-one permission to remove anything from the Hall or the
hospital
site. NKDC continue to work towards a
solution.
The next meeting will be held
on Tuesday 5th
July at 7pm in the Village Hall.
THE CRICKET CLUB had an enjoyable Village v
Village match on Sunday 22
May with juniors, regulars and irregulars forming mixed teams. A draw was declared when there was thunder
and lightning at about 7pm, so the cricket had to
finish and we were compelled
to start the barbeque! It was good to
see a group of former cricketers and supporters come to join us for
tea,
although it was too cold to stay long!
The Clubs thanks go to Jill
Pattinson for running the
barbeque and Dominic Grant for baking the cakes for the cricket tea.
