2011 Census: not far away now...

Just a reminder that the decennial Census is due to place in two weeks time, on Sunday 27th March...

"But why is it important?", I hear you ask. Put simply, money. The amount of public service funding your council and primary care trust gets from the Government is based on the number and characteristics of the people who live in the area. So, a low completion rate means less money for local health care services, less money for schools and roads, for education and social services and all of the other things that rural communities like ours depend upon.

So, please make sure that you fill in your questionnaire on, or as soon after, Sunday week as possible. You know it makes sense...

The now monthly coffee morning and produce sale, organised by the Parochial Church Council, will take place at the Church Hall, The Lane, between 10 a.m. and 12 noon on Saturday (March 12th).

And, following a discussion at Parish Council, we are hoping to arrange for the mobile police station to be parked outside at the same time

So, come along and support this very welcome social event in the calendar of village life...
