of complaints, the Clerk managed to make direct contact with Dr Brian May to
discuss the issue. Whilst no change in the situation is imminent, Dr May was keen to
hear the opinion of local visitors on the issue, and as such we are currently trying
to arrange a public meeting with Dr May in attendance, so that both sides of the
issue can be heard and any attempts at compromise could be pursued.

Memorial Bench

Following an approach from his son, we were pleased to help facilitate the
purchase and fitting of a bench in memory of the late Mark Newbold. This will be
sited outside of the Drax Arms.

New Noticeboard

The Parish Council recently approved the fabrication of a new metal noticeboard
which has been installed at the entrance of Cemetery Lane. This will shortly be
fitted with a new interpretation board giving information on Black Hill as well as
details of some walks in the area. We will also be updating the other information
boards around the village in due course. In the meantime, we would ask residents
to remember that Cemetery Lane should be kept clear at all times to allow
access for emergency and maintenance vehicles.

Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held on Thursday 14 March 2024 commencing 7pm at
th
the Village Hall. If you wish to have an item added to the agenda for discussion,
please contact the Clerk or a member of the Parish Council before the 1 March.
