Footpaths: Landowners with footpaths across their property are required to maintain
them. Sherfield English is blessed with a significant number which are greatly enjoyed by the public.  However, the parish council has received complaints from path  users regarding overhanging branches and overgrown vegetation to the side of paths which need cutting back to improve passage. It would be helpful if all those with  responsibility for paths across the parish could check them on a regular basis,  particularly in the Doctor’s Hill area. Thank you for your co-operation, 

Sue Holder
Clerk to SE Parish Council

Newsletter - unfortunately the local business who was printing this for us at a reduced rate is no longer able to do so.  Could you or do you know another local business who could print 300 monthly copies at a competitive rate?

A27 Layby

The refuse facilities here will be removed by TVBC for a period of six months. It is clear that they are being mistreated and inspection (on 19 July) revealed a bathroom sink (complete with taps and trap), household waste, broken bottles and plastic bulk mushroom containers. This is clearly
fly tipping. Although legitimate users of the layby may be inconvenienced (and will need to take their litter home in future) this long running environmental health issue must be addressed. TVBC will be monitoring the lay by and fly tippers will be prosecuted. This course of action is fully supported by the Parish Council.

The latest approved minutes, for 25th May, are now available on the Parish Council page.

​

The meeting on 25th May included the Annual Parish Meeting, and the AGM. In 2023 the APM & AGM will be on 17th May, shortly after the Council Elections on 4th May. Residents are always invited to attend the APM, at which annual reports of Parish Council and other village activities are presented. The AGM of the Parish Council follows the APM.

Residents are normally welcome to attend Parish Council meetings at 7.30pm for Open Forum, when any issues can be raised. You are also welcome to stay for the main business of the meeting, but only as an observer.  Covid restrictions - social distancing and a face-covering - will be requested.  It is helpful if you contact the Clerk if you would like to attend so space problems can be anticipated.
