NEW MEMBER OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP SOUGHT
NEW MEMBER OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY GROUP SOUGHT.
Would you like to be involved in the process that allows for funding help to Community Projects such as the White Horse liming, footpath maintenance, Coffee Mornings, and a thriving Village Hall?
The Bluefield Solar Community Fund allocates a grant to Broad Town each year for the use of community projects, but to help alleviate any potential conflict of interest at the Parish Council, each application is first presented to a local Advisory Group for consideration, and they will help the Parish Council decide how best to allocate the funding.
Grant applications happen a few times a year and the members of the group say this useful work is not too onerous at all!

Caution – Take Care on Icy Road outside the Village Hall
Please be aware that there is water escaping from a BT manhole cover in the road near Pye Lane, outside the Village Hall. This is the part of the road where there is no pavement and therefore pedestrians have to walk in the road. In freezing conditions this will cause a hazard to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Unfortunately previous attempts to get help from BT have been unsuccessful.
