The Dallington Parish Assembly was held on 16.04.19, it wasn’t particularly well attended, but we had a very pleasant evening – wonderful food and lots of wine.
John Barnes (County and District Councillor) and Eleanor Kirby-Green (District Councillor) were there and we were able to thank them for their support on so many issues.
Sergeant David Sands (Dave) came along and responded to the many questions asked.
Peter Miles from the Messenger Group was there, and it is becoming evident that The Messenger and the Dallington website together are becoming the “Parish Pump” for information and communication. Everyone agreed that the new format of The Messenger is excellent.
All the reports from County (ESCC), District (RDC) and the organisations in the Parish will be available on the Dallington website – DPC Meetings 2019-20 page – as soon as my new printer arrives, and I can scan them!
We are look forward to next year’s Parish Assembly and will put a lot of thought into better advertising.
