       Jim Parsons

       The  meeting  began  on  a sad note  with a  minute’s quiet  reflection  to  mark the
       passing of Jim Parsons. Jim had sat on the Parish
       Council for many years as both a Councillor and
       Chairman.  He  will  be  sadly  missed,  and  our
       thoughts are with his family.
