Great Addington PC – November Saints Alive monthly update
Casual vacancy
Notice is hereby given that a casual vacancy has occurred among the members of Great Addington Parish Council. If a poll has not been requested in writing by ten electors prior to Wednesday 11th November 2015, the Council may fill the vacancy by co-option. Any eligible person willing to be co-opted should apply in writing to the Clerk by Monday 16th November 2015. Please note that prospective candidates will be required to complete and sign a co-option check list to ensure eligibility.
Remembrance Sunday
Cllr Nick Palmer (Chairman) will lay a wreath on the war memorial tablet outside All Saints Church to commemorate Remembrance Day on Sunday 8th November 2015. Details about the men whose names are listed on the war memorial tablet (such as their ages when they died, where and when they served and if they are buried at home or overseas) were researched by Kevin Binley (Chairman of the Council from 2009 to 2014) a few years ago. Inclusion of these details is now an important part of the Remembrance Sunday ceremony to pay a fitting tribute to the men from Great Addington who died for their country and to lay a wreath in their honour.
Overgrown hedges and trees
It has been brought to the Council’s attention that overgrown hedges and trees in several parts of Great Addington are causing problems to members of the public. If the trees or hedges on your property are becoming overgrown and overhanging the highway, blocking a footpath or obscuring a street light, please arrange to have them trimmed as soon as possible.
Date of the next meeting
The next meeting of the Council will be held in the Memorial Hall, Great Addington on Wednesday 18th November 2015 at 7:45 pm. and the agenda will be available (on the website and the notice board) 3 clear days before this date. Please note that members of the public have the right to attend any meeting of the Council.
