Annual Parish Meeting 21st April 2016


Following investigation, it was found that the Annual Parish Meeting should be a general Parish meeting rather than a Council meeting. The Parish Council are therefore looking to ensure that this meeting becomes a village meeting.

It was agreed that the Parish Council would continue to organise and finance the meeting, but with the aim of engaging with the residents to discuss future projects that they feel are of importance to the village. The idea is that this would incorporate village projects that can be undertaken by residents or other village organisations.

We are therefore hopeful that local groups and organisations like yourselves, would be happy to attend the Annual Parish Meeting on 21st April 2016 at 7:30pm in the Village Hall and use this as a forum to speak to the residents about any projects you are currently involved with or looking to go ahead with in future months.

The evening will be fairly informal with drinks and nibbles.

Please contact the Clerk if your group will be attending the meeting, or if you require any further information.

Many Thanks

Dog Waste in The Paddock


Unfortunately over the past few weeks there have been several incidents where a dog owner has not picked up their dog waste. The dog waste is situated in the area where the children’s play equipment is sited. This is not only an offense but is also extremely unhygienic. Please pick up your own dog waste.

Upchurch Parish Council are very grateful to the responsible dog owners that make the effort to pick up their dog waste in the Paddock. Unfortunately some of this is being placed in the two rubbish bins that are situated near the play equipment. These bins are emptied by our caretaker who is currently having to remove the dog waste and place it in the dog waste bin next to the new Paddock gate. As this is not a pleasant job for him to have to undertake we would be very grateful if you could dispose of your dog waste in the dog waste bin provided by the gate on Oak Lane.

Thank you for your help with this.
