As well as the notice of next week’s Parish Council
meeting, this edition contains information about keeping the village clean, tidy
and safe.
In this issue:
-------------------------------------------------------
The next Parish Council meeting will be
held on Wednesday 16th September at 7.30pm in Birlingham Village Hall. Among
other items, the Council will be discussing the Millennium Map and the Village
Survey. If you have any issues you would like to talk about, please come
along.
The Council will also be co-opting a new member to fill the current
vacancy.
If
you would like more information on the Parish Council and its role, and how you
can apply to become a councillor, please email the Clerk, June Hiden, at birlingham_clerk@yahoo.co.uk.
-------------------------------------------------------
There have been reports of an increase in dog
fouling in the village. Not only does this create an unhealthy and unclean
environment, it is also an offence and dog owners can be fined if they do not
clean up after their dogs. We would like to keep our roads and footpaths clean
and pleasant to walk on, so if you see anyone’s dog making a mess, please remind
their owners to clean it up. Although there are no dog waste bins in the
village, there are normal bins and these are emptied regularly.
-------------------------------------------------------
Grass cuttings take ages to compost and prevent the verges being cut.
Please ensure that you do not leave rubbish along any roadside verges, in
particular grass cuttings outside your property, and help keep our village clean
and tidy.

South Worcestershire Community Safety Partnership
has appointed two new business and rural crime liaison officers to offer support
and crime prevention advice to those in rural communities and businesses. The
new team will be responsible for helping to set up schemes such as horse, farm
and shop watch, visiting victims of crime to offer advice and crime prevention
devices such as alarms and gathering information on suspicious vehicles, people
and incidents which can be shared with police.
