Dallington Parish Assembly 2024

Our 2024 Dallington Parish Assembly was held on 16.04.24, it was well attended and a friendly and enjoyable evening.
The public had the opportunity to ask questions of their County, District and Parish Councillors:
* Complaints about potholes and the general state of our roads.
* Are ESCC Highways using insecticide for weed prevention?
* Why have DPC increased their precept? This is because the Radio Club have ceased to use the recreation ground and their fees are no longer available.  DPC are the sole trustee of the ground and must legally maintain it and the pavilion.  Major work has been/is being done on the pavilion.
