Parish Council Meeting
This rescheduled PC meeting has been confirmed as taking place at 7.45 pm on Monday 13 December 2021 in the Village Hall.
No changes in Government guidance have been received to move away from public meetings at the current moment, however Councillors are mindful of the current rise in incidences of positive tests in people having the Covid-virus and the risks this could pose to potential cross-infection at such times.
If any subject matters can be dealt with outside of the actual meeting, it will be extremely helpful to have them relayed via email to the Clerk, so that the subject could be brought up at the meeting and a response given back via email in due course. This could be of significant help to keep attendance at the meeting to a more manageable number regarding social distancing, etc.
Martin Field, Parish Clerk (pcmedbourne@gmail.com)
Village Hall Committee
Provisional date for a meeting at the home of the committee chair.
