Parish Lengthsman

Most residents are aware that we are in the very fortunate position that we have
a Lengthsman but perhaps not many know what he actually does. Here is a
breakdown of the work he undertook for the parish during January.

 43 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 as
well as installing the new bench.

 54 hours at the play area
undertaking maintenance of all the
play equipment and carrying out
necessary repairs, litter picking the
area and carrying out weekly
inspections.
 11 hours clearing litter and fly
tipping from around the parish, emptying litter bins and taking it to the tip.

 26 hours repairing and installing four benches around the village, including
preparing their concrete bases, and starting repairs on the bench at
Southbrook.
