EDinGTon PaRiSH CounCil REPoRT
Congratulations to the Parish Hall Committee for the excellent refurbishment of the toilets and storage of the Hall.
A big thank you to those who turned out to litter pick in March. An excellent start to keeping the village tidy for the summer.
The Best Keptvillage: judging will soon be here. Judging is usually end of May beginning of June so please tidy up areas adjacent to roads and help keep all public areas clean and litter free.
We have a new Parish Steward who is very efficient , you may have noticed how nice the grass triangles and footpaths are looking. If any villagers see any routine maintenance eg blocked drains pot holes, grass obstructing highway vision, dirty signs etc. Please contact Emily Greening, telephone 830 248, so she can put it in his work schedule. The Parish Steward gives the village a day every 4-6 weeks paid for by the
County Council.
The Edington Footpath book is still available at the Farm Shop Post Office and Pickelberries.
We have been awarded a grant towards the purchase of a defibrillator by Westbury area board.
Negotiations are in progress about the siting of it in the Three Daggers complex. It is our intention to run a First Aid course to support its use ideally it would be good to have a few first responders in the village.
If interested contact The clerk Malcom Wieck 830 248.
