Dodderhill Parish Council is planning to enhance the Wychbold Park access arrangements and improve the park’s natural environment.

Some of the things we hope to do are to:

• firm up and widen the existing pathways and add new ones
• support everyone’s enjoyment of outdoor exercise
• improve the car park by separating pedestrians and cars
• clearly mark out parking bays
• upgrade the old play area and turn it into a sensory garden
• encourage wildlife corridors and better manage the hedgerows
• plant a mix of new orchard trees
• enhance the community allotment plot.

To this end we have prepared a tender document (see attached) for contractors to consider and submit their best quotes.

The Finance and IT Committee meeting scheduled for this evening, 9th December 2024 at 6pm has been cancelled. It will be re-scheduled for early January 2025.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a casual vacancy has arisen in the Office of Councillor for the Parish Council for the Impney Ward of Dodderhill Parish Council.
If by 16 December, 2024 (14 days excluding Dies Non, after the date of this notice) a request for an election to fill said vacancy is made in writing to the Returning Officer at the address below by TEN electors for the said Parish ward, an election will be held to fill the said vacancy, otherwise the vacancy will be filled by co-option.
If an election is called, it will take place not later than 21 February, 2025.
