Grove Garden volunteers, please!
Last month we put out a call for volunteers to come forward to look after the Ball Court, but we also need help with the Grove Garden in Church Street, which up until recently has been lovingly and tirelessly cared for by Judith and Martin Lazell, with help from others when available. A huge ‘thank you’ to them for their work over the years. We are looking for volunteers who can keep this cherished and well-used area looking neat and tidy at all times of the year, with the support of the Parish Council. Please get in touch if you are prepared to get stuck in on a regular basis at The Grove Garden and /or the Ball Court!
Could you become a Parish Councillor?
The Parish Council is very keen to welcome more councillors into its membership, and we encourage Milborne Port residents to put themselves forward for this very important role. Maybe you are new to the Parish and want to become involved with local matters, or maybe you have lived in the village for all of your life and you are now looking to give something back. To qualify, you must be 18 or over and on the electoral register. The Parish Council is involved in many different activities, from local planning matters, to managing the open spaces and working with our community groups, to delivering projects. If you feel you could bring something to the role and a genuine interest in our village, why not put yourself forward to become a councillor?
Do get in touch to find out more about the process of becoming a councillor by co-option; you do not need to wait for an election! If you would like to talk to us, pop in to see us in the Parish Council Office any Tuesday morning between 8.30 am and 12.30 pm or on a Wednesday by appointment; you can also call us on 01963 251268 or 07375 892631 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. We are also happy to assist with printing off the form for you.
