LENT LUNCHES will be held in THE WALGRAVE BENEFICE during March and April. The Casual lunches will be held 12-2pm on the six Fridays leading up to Easter - homemade soup with bread, cheese, tea & coffee, accompanied by a good helping of friendship and chat. All we ask in return is:

DA/2017/0574 DEVELOPMENT OF A LEISURE PARK TO CONTAIN LODGES & GLAMPING HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION.  MERE FARM BUSINESS COMPLEX, RED HOUSE LANE

There has been concern from some residents that this development was still going ahead. After referring this message to our District Councillor Lesley Woolnough who in turn has made enquiries with Daventry District Council it is confirmed that this is definitely not going ahead. The Conditions & Reasons tab on DDC’s website has now been amended to remove the Conditions & Reasons that gave the impression that permission had been granted.

 

PARKING

Please could all residents and their visitors be mindful to not park on pavements. Parking a vehicle on the pavement could lead to an offence of obstruction being committed. This could result in a fixed penalty notice being issued to offending vehicles. It can also cause danger/nuisance for pedestrians and wheelchairs users.
