At the September Parish Council meeting a contractor was chosen, who has now been appointed, to carry out some works around the Parish. A decision was also made by the Councillors on the appointment of a new team of contractors to carry out the grass cutting and maintenance of the Parish playground.
Because of the ongoing vandalism problems to the wooden structure on The Dell, and because the structure will soon require some quite serious and expensive repairs, the decision has been taken to find a new home for this structure, it will first be offered to local schools to see if they can make good use of it.
Once removed the Council will decide on maybe putting more benches or picnic tables up in this area.
The Council also discussed the replacement of the heritage finger post at West Stoke that was accidentally pushed over by a motorist and then subsequently stolen, we are currently trying to track down the correct person to talk to at WSCC about having it replaced, this is proving to be quite a lengthy discussion with the Highways team.
The Parish Council are looking forward to their first social evening to be held on 29th September from 6pm till 8pm in West Ashling Hall, we have some very interesting people coming along to chat with parishioners and we will be serving wine and nibbles, and hope that it will be a fun as well as an informative evening, please join us if you can.
