Text Box: Noise in the Community We are looking forward to a long hot summer and enjoying our gardens but it is very important that we think about all the noise that comes with it especially when doors and windows are of necessity open. There are also other pollutants as well as noise like light and smoke. Can we ask you all to take your neighbours into consideration when it comes to the many issues like dogs barking, music playing, bonfires burning. The parish office has many leaflets on these topics which could help you enjoy the warm weather and get along with others if problems arise. Unfortunately we cannot get involved but will be pleased to point you in the direction of someone who might be able to. Call in during opening hours (9.30 – 11.30 am weekdays) Text Box: Annual Accounts The Parish Council’s accounts for 2006/7 have been audited and will be available for examination by the public during weekday mornings (9.30 – 11.30 am) in the parish office from 20 June to 11 July.
