A reminder of the request that was included on the recent issue of Gidding News:

Parish Councillors, together with Trustees of Gidding Charity, and Village Hall & Recreation Ground, will meet in February to discuss the various community sites and buildings in our Parish (Village Hall, Recreation Field, Jubilee Wood, Orchard and Allotments, Charity owned fields, pound and ponds)  We will also take the opportunity to discuss sites that may become available to the Parish in the near future, such as the School House and the School Playground. 

If you have thoughts and ideas to suggest how residents can benefit and make use of these areas for the future, please make contact on ggparishcouncil@outlook.com (use heading of Community Sites) or put a note (anonymous if you wish) through the Parish Office letterbox BEFORE Friday 2nd February (please do not respond through the website).

This initial meeting will be closed to the public, a further open meeting will be held later in the year.

The collection at this service is, traditionally, given to charity, and the chosen one this year is the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.

Minced pies and mulled wine will be available from 5.30pm before the service, and afterwards.

Neighbourhood Plan – survey results events

Neighbourhood Plan - survey results events

Over the summer the team have been reviewing the results of the surveys we carried out in May.

We are organising three informal events to get your feedback. We will take you through why we are creating a Neighbourhood Plan, the survey results and our provisional conclusions. We hope you can come to a meeting, even if you have to venture to another village hall.

The three meetings are on:

  • Saturday 11th November at 2pm in Great Gidding Village Hall
  • Saturday 18th November at 3pm in Winwick Village Hall
  • Saturday 25th November at 4pm in Hamerton Village Hall

Each one will be the same format, involve most of the team, have some refreshments and last around 45 minutes to an hour.  We hope you can make it.

If you want any further information please email hamwicking@gmail.com

Kind regards

The team
