Waste Survey During Rubbish Collections

Posted on May 18, 2019 by Pauline

During the rubbish collections on Friday, members of a company commissioned by Glos County Council will be taking samples to be analysed to improve recycling. We were not notified of this in advance but I have had a few enquiries.

I have just been sent a leaflet which the teams have to hand out to residents. Copy below.

Kind regards,
Cat Crompton, Town Clerk

Inc. 182 07/04/19 – Northleach theft from vehicle tools stolen

Police are advising residents not to leave valuables in vehicles either at isolated car parks or outside their homes. Vehicles have been mainly targeted for tool thefts that cost the owner thousands of pounds to replace.

Also high powered vehicles are being stolen by organised crime groups to use in further crime. Police are advising that keys are not left on show in homes near to where cars are parked on driveways. It is best to either buy a key protection bag for keyless entry cars (available from police stations) or hide the keys.

This is an unusually high number of incidents over the past weekend.

Many thanks,

Elections: Result of Nominations

Posted on April 8, 2019 by Pauline

The results of the nominations for the May elections are now out. Our parish is uncontested meaning there were fewer nominations than seats, so candidates for the Town Council are elected unopposed. There were two nominations for the District Council seat, which will be subject to contested election on 2nd May.

All nine current town councillors submitted nominations and are elected unopposed. Although this is good news for the Town Council in terms of continuity, it still leaves us with two vacancies. The council will be looking to co-opt to fill the vacancies; please let the clerk know if you are interested.
