Parish Lengthsman
Most residents are aware that we are in the very fortunate position that we have
a Lengthsman but perhaps not many actually know what he does. So here is a
breakdown of the work he undertook for the parish during February.
21 hours at the Cemetery keeping the grass and hedges neatly cut at all times,
clearing litter, and maintaining the graves and marking plots for new burials.
5 hours clearing rights of way around the village.
31 hours at the play area – undertaking maintenance of all the play equipment
and repairing the fence in the under 5s play area. Litter picking the area and
carrying out weekly inspections.
20 hours clearing litter and fly tipping from around the parish, emptying litter bins
and taking it to the tip.
When you respond to advertisers, do please tell them you saw 18 hours clearing fallen
