Something Wrong in the Neighbourhood …

Following increasing concerns regarding the rat population on the Village Green and surrounding area, the Parish Council has reviewed its arrangements with its current pest control contractor.  Having taken advice from alternative pest control contractors, an emergency visit has been made today and all boxes re-baited.  A further follow up visit will be made next week.

Thanks to all residents who have kept us informed on this matter.
