The Parish council are currently looking for grants and donations to replace the climbing dome within the playpark which is outdated and showing a higher risk on the ROSPA report than the council would like.
We are also looking to replace a handful of trees as they didn’t make it through the summer not through drought but hungry deer, as the Council worked very hard to keep them topped up over the summer months.
We have also had to remove two trees on the Village Green, but we are looking to replace one later in the year.
Do click on the WODC flood updates for this year, which provide information of contacts for all types of flooding, and a notice about Polling Station changes, which does affect the residents of Black Bourton. The proposal is to close our polling station in St Mary’s and for us to use the one in the Carter Institute in Clanfield. So please read and make your views known before the deadline of 4th November.
We have also received a Thames Valley Police Update for the year.
As we are heading to the latter park of the year, the Council would like to remind the residents that we will be holding the Remembrance Sunday parade on the 10th November meeting at the church for 10:45am, the road will be closed to traffic between 10:50 – 11:10am.
The Order of service will be posted on the website closer to the time.
