As a Parish Council we hold monthly meetings every 3rd Wednesday of the month. As we are only able to hold virtual meeting at present, if you have any questions or ideas that you wish to put forward please contact bbparishclerk@gmail.com.
We are still hoping to find another councilor to join our Council, if you are interested in finding out more then please do contact us.
We have purchased some new bins to go into the playground these will be put in very soon. Also, we hope you like the new gates with signs and roundels, traffic calming is one of our main priorities – anything to slow the traffic down.
At the moment we are in correspondence with the District Council with the hope we can secure some funding to potentially have 2 or 3 speed humps installed so please watch this space.
You may have noticed that we have orange fencing around two of the pieces of equipment within the playpark, we are hoping to be able to make them safe or replace them by the spring.
As I am sure many of you were aware we were able to secure a grant from our local councilor priority fund to purchase and plant some trees in our village. After many talks with the local council we are now moving forward in purchasing some trees to replace the ones removed from Alvescot Road. We are looking at breaking the purchase and planting down into 3 projects to make it more manageable at this time with the pandemic.
If you have any ideas about where you would like to see the trees planted, please get in touch.

Many Thanks

Black Bourton Parish Clerk.
