* The Parish Council has one current vacancy for Parish Councillors. These vacancies may be filled by co-option onto the council at the next full parish council meeting (Thurs 14th Nov). 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) Awaiting HCC Update 11/10/2024: 

* 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: Lower Farringdon phone box will be worked on - repainting the interior of the phone box (time and weather dependant).

* DRAFT Minutes 12th September 2024 Meeting

* Farringdon Roads Report September:  - Click Here

* Next Parish Council Meeting: THURSDAY 14th November 2024

Garden waste collections will be suspended from Monday 23 December 2024 to Friday 3 January 2025 with normal collections resuming on Monday 6 January. They will take real Christmas trees on the first collection of the new year.
