* 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) HCC Update 21/10/2024: 'The design team has been waiting for ground information before the design can be finalized. The specialist contractor, Terra Firma, was on site on 20th September to undertake window samples and trial pits. This exercise was necessary to provide geotechnical information and confirm the suitable foundation designs. We’re still waiting for the final ground investigation report. The draft version was issued last week, and I expect the final one to follow through once all the laboratory testing has been finalized. Unfortunately, I don’t have any dates for work yet as this is subject to finalizing the design and obtaining all necessary consents.'
* 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 Box: Lower Farringdon phone box is being worked on now - interior has been prepared for painting (look awful I know), but a couple of warm sunny days are need for the painting (fingers crossed)
* DRAFT Minutes 12th September 2024 Meeting
