  • Resurfacing THE STREET

    Just in case you don’t know The Street, Brampton is being re-surfaced. The plan is to do the job tomorrow but it does depend on the weather – we will however not get any further notice. Please try not to park cars on The Street as this will delay the work. There will also be road sweeping on the following day.
    Please also remember that they use a tar base so animals should not be allowed on The Street as the work is done and for a little while after.
    The road will not be closed but there will be inconvenience. In the Parish Council we have been asking for this work to be done for several years and hopefully they can complete in a few hours and the road will be better afterwards although there will be loose chippings that can be dangerous.
    Please let your neighbours know.
    There remains a vacancy on the Parish Council which we can fill by co-option if anyone is interested please contact Maggie Claridge, the Clerk, on [email protected]
    UPDATE
    Despite the promise of the contractor to do the road work today (30/06) it is very clear that nothing has happened – I am a little annoyed on your behalf about this and our Parish Clerk has spoken to the area engineer who now says that it may be anytime in the next three working days. We will try and get better imminent warning but they may just turn up unannounced so can we please try to keep the road clear again. Nothing will happen if the weather is bad and I do appreciate that it is difficult. I do thank residents though as the road was clear today when they were supposed to turn up.
  • VILLAGE QUIZ 29th April

    It should be a fun evening with something for everyone.

  • Parking on The Street, Brampton

    At a recent Parish Council meeting we discussed the issue of vehicles parked on narrow parts of The Street, Brampton, particularly near to the junction of Back Lane. This parking causes other vehicles trying to get by over further than they should go and, in turn, this damages banking and the road edges.

    We understand that many people live in properties with parking space for only one vehicle when they have more than one car out of necessity. We also accept that there are no legal restrictions and do not believe that they would be helpful. However with the inevitable growth of larger vehicle traffic through the village led by supermarket delivery vans and courier services we do accept that the situation is worsening and that will continue. We have tried to find parking space in Upper Brampton but residents will be aware that there is nowhere available. In order to minimise damage we ask two things. Firstly that all vehicles should be parked with great care and sensitivity. Secondly, if there is an option between a larger and smaller vehicle it is the smaller one that should be parked on the road.

    Please also note that on a date not yet notified but said to be in May 2016 The Street is to be resurfaced and residents WILL have to make alternate arrangements then. We will give as much notice as we can.

  • Tonight’s PC Meeting is postponed

    Please note that tonight’s meeting (9th March 2016) is postponed as Maggie has been taken unwell although hopefully it is nothing long-term or too serious. We can run a meeting without individual Councillors (I don’t feel 100% myself as it happens) but we have to have a Clerk.
    Please also treat this as NOTICE that the next meeting will now be in two week’s time on 23/03/2016 although please do not action that unless Maggie confirms it first – I have given this notice to comply with the requirements. NOW CONFIRMED

  • Village Club open and an up and coming event

    The Village Club and Bar will be open in the Village Hall for a period on the evening of Saturday 30th January 2016 (sorry about the short notice). The Club needs your support and it helps keep the Village Hall alive.
    At 7:30pm on the evening of February 26th 2016 there will be an event in the Village Hall that we are calling “Meet the Neighbours”. We recognise that over the last couple of years there have been a number of new people coming in to the village and this is a chance for them to meet with others and also a chance for longer standing residents to meet each other and to find out what is going on in the Village. There will be a very short presentation covering the Church, Parish Council and Village Hall when issues like Better Broadband, what is happening to the Phone Box, Recycling and how it helps the village and even the state of the roads will be covered. After that meeting and on the same night the Bar and Club will be open if anyone wants to stay for a convivial chat
