MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Sam’s words…

Sam Bestwick

Chair Cawston Parish Council

You are cordially invited to the 1st Cawston Community

Forum!

This is an event organised by Cawston Parish Council, where local representatives have been invited to attend from the Consortium,

County Council, Borough Council, Parish Council and Police. They will be acting as a panel to answer your questions on any topic

covering Cawston.

The event will run on Monday the 5th of March

at Cawston Community Hall 19.30 – 21.00

We would like as many local residents to attend as possible. To get

the maximum from the evening we would like to ask for as many

questions in advance of the evening which we can ask to the panel as well as taking questions from attendees on the night.

If you have a question you would like to ask please email the

Parish Clerk at: [email protected]

If that is not enough refreshments will also be provided on the night!

Your Voice Counts!

Please use this opportunity to ask the questions you want asking and we will do our best to get them answered.

Community Hall Management Group

Are you a proactive, practical, helpful person looking to put a bit back into the community? We are looking for a few volunteers to sit on the Community Hall Management group.

We meet once a fortnight to discuss / arrange: · A rota of volunteers to open and lock the building on the days when our

regular users / key holders are not in attendance (this often involves meeting children’s party hirers)

· Routine maintenance issues, anything from a broken toilet roll holder (can we fix it ourselves?) to the electronic heating controls.

· Hall improvements, what can we afford and what do we want to do. · General maintenance; touching up paintwork, re-fitting a door handle, putting

up shelves, sorting out a cupboard, helping out with a kitchen deep clean. · Outdoor maintenance during the better weather, regular grass cutting and

general tidiness.

There are only 7 of us who currently manage this so a few extra hands would greatly help to lighten the load somewhat. If you have a bit of free time and think you could help we would love to hear from you! Please drop us a line at: [email protected]

Thinking about becoming a Parish Councillor?

Are you interested in being a Parish Councillor but don’t know what it entails? We are seeking new councillors to bolster our ranks with new skills and ideas. All the current Councillors work and many have family and other commitments so it doesn’t have to take up all your time! If you could spare a few hours a month we’d love to hear from you.

If you are thinking of giving it a go but you are unsure please contact any of the current Councillors or the Clerk – details on the back page.
