  • Parish Council Budget Meeting – 2nd November @ 7pm

    From Boughton Parish Council

    At our next meeting, the council will discuss its plans and budget for 2022/3 including the level of council tax it will need to levy as the parish precept. If you have any ideas or questions for the council, please come along. The meeting, as always, is open to the public and this is your opportunity to have a say in what your council does for your village.

    Next Meeting: Tuesday 2nd November 2021 at 7pm in the church.

     

     

     

    On the 6th September Boughton Parish Council had an ordinary meeting. Items discussed included:

    • Casual Vacancy – we still have an opening for a parish councillor. Should any resident like to learn more about what it entails being a councillor and wishes to be considered, please contact the chair or the clerk on boughtonpc@gmail.com.
    • Borough Council – we received a report from our borough councillor, Colin Sampson, on activities at BCKLWN. Of note is their intention to reduce their carbon footprint and to strengthen their processes with regard to fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour. In addition, they are aware of quality issues with refuse collection after the change to Serco.
    • Play Park. Our regular inspections have determined that the grass over-matting has become brittle in places and will need to be replaced in the near future.
    • Pond Safety Equipment. In response to our recent risk assessment we have now deployed an emergency throw line for anyone to use should they discover someone in difficulty in the water – a very low risk surely, but one we cannot ignore.
    • Councillor Allowances – The council agreed to continue its convention of not offering councillors or chair any remuneration or allowances.
    • Jubilee Tree. A tree to mark the Queen’s Jubilee next year has been ordered and will be planted on the East side of The Green in due course.
    • Picnic Table. Councillor Coulten undertook to inspect the picnic table by the pond. He has subsequently done this and rebuilt one of the seats that had become unstable.
    • Grass Cutting. Two additional volunteers have come forward to help with the grass cutting and strimming on The Green and the Play Park. More help would still be welcome. Please get in touch if you can assist.

  • Frank Reid

    It is with deep regret that I have been asked to inform you that Frank Reid of Winward, Boughton, passed way at home earlier this morning.

    I’d be grateful if you would inform friends and neighbours for whom I do not have mail addresses.

    Frank was an enormous presence and friend to the village. He will be sorely missed. Let us all join together in supporting Sandy at this difficult time.
