MEET THE NEIGHBOURS: The neighbours group met in the Village Hall on Tuesday 14th May from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.
A smaller turnout than usual due to, holidays, Hospital appointments and other outstanding commitments. Although smaller in numbers the group were high in spirit Team leader Joan Reiter had to leave earlier (for one of reasons given above,) with team member and village stalwart Jean Beardsall taking charge for the rest of the afternoon, with help from friends and colleagues.
The usual notices were given out, reminders about the gardening club, Neighbourhood Watch updates including AGM arrangements as the visitors socialised in convivial company with afternoon tea, scones and savouries provided. The usual raffle was drawn.
PCSO Dave Airey gave an updated crime report and advised those present to remain vigilant and took the opportunity to thank villagers as a whole for their continued support to the Police and to himself over the last six months. The PCSO has covered this beat as well as his own area since the former incumbent Catherine Darby went on maternity leave. Those present offered the officer best wishes for the future although he may have occasion to be in the village from time to time. The new PCSO Aaron Stocks is in post and will be seen in and around the area and it its hoped villagers will give him the same support as they have given to the other officers.
The event was attended by District Councillor Tracey Taylor who mingled with residents and friends during the afternoon session.
