A monthly newsletter following the Parish Council meeting in January
Planter for Repton
Councillors have now held a site meeting with representatives from Derbyshire County Council and possible sites have been identified. It is hoped that a location and type of container can be agreed and that a new planter will be in place for the spring. The ones in Milton have been a welcome addition and hopefully this can now be replicated in Repton.
Footpaths 13 & 14, Meadow Lane towards Twyford
If you can help with the Parish Council’s application to upgrade footpath 13 and onwards towards footpath 14 and the river Trent as a bridleway for public use, we would be very grateful. Councillor Dickson has found historical evidence of a public bridleway from Brook End leading towards Twyford and this information has been documented. We are required to supply evidence that this route is used by members of the public and the necessary forms are available at the Parish Council office. We have already received some completed forms, many thanks; however we still require a few more. Should you use this route, now or in the past, please could you contact the office and complete an evidence form, which would greatly assist this application. Many thanks. Contact details are: Telephone: 01283 701309 or reptoncouncil@btinternet.co.uk
Adverse Weather
The grit bins around the village have now been replenished and a reminder that the most up to date information regarding the weather, gritting activity, road and school closures can be found at www.derbyshire.gov.uk
Grit bins are located on Springfield Road, The Pastures, Monsom Lane outside the Burial Ground, Monsom Lane at the junction of Milton Road, Burdett Way at the junction with Milton Road, Hill View and Red Hill Lane. The grit provided is for use on the public roads and pavements and we would please ask that it is not taken for personal use. Many thanks.
Goodbye
After working here for over eight happy years I have now decided to retire. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Parish Council office, firstly at The Dales and then here, above the Jaipur Restaurant and have met many local people and hopefully, have helped you with your queries and concerns. Councillors are currently recruiting a new Clerk, who will hopefully start in February so that we can work alongside each other for a few weeks. I am sure he or she will look forward to meeting you over the coming months. Thank you for the kindness and understanding you have shown me over the past years and I look forward to seeing your new Village Hall!
Next meeting: Monday 11th February 2019 in The Community Room, Fisher Close, Repton at 7.30pm. All are welcome.
Susan Reilly, Clerk to the Council
