* We welcome our new Parish Clerk, Mrs Debbie Batley *

 

* NOTICE OF PUBLIC RIGHTS AND PUBLICATION OF UNAUDITED ANNUAL GOVERNANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY RETURN ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024  -  Farringdon Parish Council Click Here

* The Parish Council has two current vacancies for Parish Councillors. These vacancies may be filled by co-option onto the council at the next full parish council meeting (Thurs 12th Sept). If you are interested in taking on this role and serving your community or wish to discuss the role in more detail please contact Denise Maughan [email protected]

* Barleywood Farm Lane (Gaston Lane) HCC Update 09/09: "The design team are finalising the replacement and ensuring the necessary consents are in place." The road remains closed. The road is still closed and the permit will be extended on one network."

* Road Signage - Please Keep it Clear: Please would all householders who have foliage that grows close to or overhangs advisory/mandatory road signs such as speed limits, road names or direction signposts to keep these well clear for good visibility from 20-30 metres. Lack of visibility of speed limits and stop signs is dangerous and Hampshire Highways advise us that they have the authority to clear the foliage and charge the costs to the home owner.

* HELP TO KEEP DRAINS CLEAR - Would all those households with gravel drives in Upper Farringdon please ensure that the gravel does not drift onto the roads as this adds to blockages to street drainage resulting in flooding.

* Defibrillator Phones Boxes: Currently being worked on - this will include the interior of the Lower Farringdon box. The Parsonage Close telephone Box interior will be cleaned and the exterior painted hopefully in the next 2 weeks..

* Graffiti on Openreach Green Cabinet by Shirnall Car Park - reported 29/08 with promised action by Openreach.

* Farringdon Roads Report September:  - Click Here

* Next Parish Council Meeting: THURSDAY 14th November 2024
