Stella did not resign from Dallington Parish Council, she told the Members she was not standing for re-election on 02.05.19 due to other commitments.
We will miss her and wish her well (especially with her beloved horses).

ESCC Highways/B2096 Safety Issues

Dallington Parish Council recently had a meeting with ESCC Highways about the safety issues on the B2096, particularly the Carricks Hill/Earlsdown area and the exit from Bakers Lane.
ESCC Highways reply was disappointing – many suggestions (double white lines on Carricks Hill are out of the question), but there is no firm commitment or dates for improvements.
DPC will continue to campaign vigorously for these improvements

Dallington Parish Assembly 2019

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.
