Hutton Conyers defibrillator
The council is pleased to announce that the awaited defibrillator for Hutton Conyers is now installed, registered and active. It can be found on the outside wall of Hillside and we are grateful to Tim and Sarah for ‘hosting’ it. The defibrillator is installed in a locked cabinet and access is obtained by calling 999. It can be used with no prior knowledge but please can everyone in the village watch the video which can be found in the useful links section on the home page, thank you.
Councillor vacancy
We now have the go-ahead to co-opt another councillor for the parish, please see the notice on the noticeboards. An application form can be downloaded below and applications need to be returned to the clerk by April 24th for consideration at the May meeting.
Spring is on its way
Thankyou to Neil Cutler for this pretty photo of snowdrops in Copt Hewick, a reassurance as you scrape your windscreen that Spring is on its way.
Resignation
I’m sorry to announce that John Blakey has resigned from the parish council due to work commitments. We are sorry to lose him and wish him well. This does mean that we now have a second vacancy so please do get in touch if you feel you could serve your local community as a parish councillor.
