West MonktonWelcome to the official site for the parish of West Monkton and it's surrounding villages. We hope you will find everything you need to know about the parish here - if there's something else that's needed email us: info@westmonkton.netTHREADS OF LIFEA fabulous weekend for all concerned...everything about it was just marvellous. Too many people to select individuals, but every one worked tremendously hard during the weeks leading up to the event. The Parish Council thanks Cllr John Reeves for taking photos of the weekend, and you can see them if you visit the 'Pictures of the Village' section on this web site. There is also a photo of your Parish Councillors.******************************************************************************************** Volunteers wanted Residents requested something should be done about speeding in the Parish. One of the ways is to set up a Community Speed Watch. The Parish Council will assist with any group of volunteers who would like to come forward for this scheme. The volunteers will need a co-ordinator who will be the point of contact for Parish Council and the Police. Training schemes are run by the police so all volunteers will be trained before using the hand held device. So far, one person has come forward - teams of three are needed, so please contact any Councillor, the Clerk or PCSO Suzanne Murray. The Parish Council is looking at other ways to reduce speeding in the Parish. One of the ideas is to introduce a mobile speed indicator device (SID). To qualify for one of these devices, there must be sufficient evidence of speeding. This is done by a traffic survey to check the speeding figures which is done by strips across the road. If the statistics support the case, the Parish Council will consider funding one of these devices. And finally, the Safety Camera Partnership have been active at variouslocations in the Parish. ******************************************************************************************** SCC has informed the Parish Council that surface dressing of A3259 will take place in June and Greenway north of Sidbrook in July. Please reduce speed to allow the dressing to set successfully. ******************************************************************************************** The Annual Audit of West Monkton Parish Council for the year 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2010 is now closed. ******************************************************************************************** PHONE BOX A suggestion has been made that the Phone Box could be used as a mini-book swap centre. The Parish Council is very pleased that a volunteer co-ordinator has come forward so if you like the idea, and want to know more, please contact any Parish Councillor (listed elsewhere on this web-site) or the Clerk, Tricia Cavill. Some shelves will be installed to hold the books. ******************************************************************************************** The Parish Council has the Power of WellBeing, having satisfied the various criteria required by government.
