News Round-up – Autumn 2019

A BIG Thank you for everyone that turned up to help on Saturday 31.08.19 – we had a very successful day, we installed the replacement benches on the Village Green, Placed The salt bin at The Butland’s, Cleared the paths on the Street, and tidied up the Church Yard… (which we are now trying to get the Community Service group back so it will be cut on a regular bases) – looking at making this an annual event. A huge Thank you to the Rutterfords at Street Farm who supplied us the Refreshments!

Duck Race

Duck Race raised £1040.00 so a Big Thank to you to everyone who supported it….. already planning for next year.

Village Green

We also would like to remind everyone that the Village Green is for everyone to use and enjoy the open space, so please respect it and look after it.

To the Dog Owners please remember to poop scoop and if your dogs are a bit lively please put them on a lead when others are about, as not everyone is confident around dogs.

We have Bee Orchids on the green which are rare but lovely to see – please be careful they have been cordoned off.

Defibrillator

Still looking for volunteers to help with fundraising, anyone interested please contact Hannah Scott Parish Clerk.

Notice Boards

We’ve just received match funding for some new notice boards, so these will be put up in the village as soon – they’ve been ordered just waiting for delivery of them.

Facebook

There have been a few comments on various FB pages – with regards to moan and groans about the village, if you feel it’s something the Parish Council can help with please contact Hannah Scott as we are happy to help.

Community Speed Watch

We are in the process of organising training for the Community Speed Watch and have joined forces with Little Cressingham – if you want to join in please contact Hannah Scott.

Dear Members of the Parish of Great Cressingham,

It has come to the attention of the Parish Council that there have been several incidents on the Village Green recently, of dogs which are under supervision, and are being exercised legitimately, being attacked by other dogs which appear from the vicinity of the gardens bordering the Green. As we are sure you will agree, this is unreasonable. In the first instance, we would advise anyone on the Green who sees a dog not under supervision, to contact the Council Dog Warden (01362858500) who will record the incident, and will then make unannounced visits in order to take matters further. We would also ask that if anyone sees an unsupervised dog on the Green, to take a photograph and send it through to Hannah hscott@acbacon.co.uk, this way offenders can be easily identified, and owners can be reported.

A further problem, which is dog based on the Village Green, is the matter of dog mess. If you are supervising your dog… please make sure you pick it up and dispose of it in the bins provided. 99% of dog owners in the village already do this, so thank you.

The increasing number of unsupervised dog incidents has caused the Parish Council to now actively pursue the chain link fencing of parts of the Village Green boundary, as this is potentially a safety issue. This will be an expensive undertaking, but one which we are sure that all will support.

If you have any concerns, or wish for further clarification… or even, perhaps, that you have information/photographs, of the offending, unsupervised dogs referred to above, please contact Hannah on 07900265493 or 01760440439.
Kind Regards
Great Cressingham Parish Council
