Following the resignation of Matthew Nesbitt and Tanya Werrell from the Town
Council I am pleased to welcome two new councillors namely Martin Crane and
David Ravenshill. Both have been attending Council meetings for some time
before being co-opted and have shown an all round interest in council matters.
We have also been without Margaret Wilson, due to illness, since the summer
and our best wishes have been with her. I know she has been very touched
with the number of people who have enquired after her and sent cards.
We are very pleased that one of the identified allotment garden sites has
now been opened and thanks go to Peter Harries, who started negotiations
at a Mayoral function and Lorraine Adams of Sovereign for all the work she
did behind the scenes. We still hope to acquire further sites should land
be made available.
The new Skate Park, thanks to a grant from Playbuilder funding, is also nearing
completion and will soon be opened.
Town Council Christmas Cards are available for sale, of local winter scenes,
thanks to a competition organised by Denise Gaines; a pack of 6 costing £3.50.
Please also make a diary note of the Mayors Carol service on Sunday 20th
December in St Lawrence’s Church at 6.30, all are welcome.
On behalf of the Town Council I would like to wish everyone a Happy Festive
Season and healthy and safe 2010.
Elizabeth Cardwell. Mayor of Hungerford
