17.01.10: THURGOLAND CHARITIES VISIT TO HARROGATE
There will not be a pantomime visit this year – instead, it has been decided to organise a half-day trip to Harrogate on FRIDAY 23 APRIL 2010. The coach will leave Crane Moor (Old Rock Inn) at 10.15 a.m., and Churchfields at 10.30 a.m., returning from Harrogate at 3.00 p.m. There is only one coach, and tickets are on a first-come, first served basis. There is no charge for this visit, and it is open to RESIDENTS OF THE PARISH WHO ARE OVER 60.
17.01.10: PARISH COUNCIL WEBSITE
Thurgoland Parish Council currently has a website (www.thurgoland.org.uk) where there are details of the Parish Council, it’s members, Agenda and Minutes of meetings etc. There are also pages for Village Services and Community Organisations and links to other sites such as Thurgoland School and the History Group. Whilst the site provides much information about our Parish, it is not what you would call modern, vibrant or completely up to date, and, as much improved broadband services are expected for South Yorkshire in the next few years, the Parish Council think that now is an appropriate time to review the content and style of the website.
The thinking at present is that some of the current pages should be updated and many more local community organisations put onto the site so that anyone wishing to gain information can click onto the site and see, for example, when the next football or cricket fixture is to take place, what is happening at the Village Hall, what time the Sunday Service is at the Church or Chapel, or when the Book Club meets at Crane Moor. A meeting of all of these organisations has taken place and their views and opinions are being collected. However, it is important that residents of the Parish give their views – so – WHAT DO YOU THINK? Please contact either the Chairman, Bob Blythe on 0114 288 3520 (bobblythe@aol.com) or the Clerk, Ruth Pearson on 01226 765020 (atkinsonruth@hotmail.co.uk) with your opinions and suggestions.
17.01.10: CAR PARKING – PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE!!
It has been noted that in certain streets around the Parish, residents and visitors are parking in such a way that buses, refuse vehicles, delivery vehicles and (most importantly) emergency vehicles are having difficulties in negotiating their way safely. This COULD result in the withdrawal of certain buses and other essential services to residents – which is something that the Parish Council wish to avoid. However, the situation can only be resolved if residents take heed and park in a considerate manner, even if it means parking a few yards from their house to ensure that other vehicles can gain access. PLEASE, PLEASE, think about where you are parking and consider the consequences of your actions – if you have any suggestions to improve the parking facilities in the Parish please contact the Clerk – but consider first how you can be a better neighbour by parking sensibly!
