ALLOTMENT RENT DAY Monday, 2nd April 2007 6.15 to 7.00 pm Eaton Village Hall This will be followed by a short meeting of allotment holders to discuss forming an a l l o tm en t ho ld er s committee. Local Elections for Parish Councillors—May 2007 There are vacancies for all Parish Council positions, and anyone interested in becoming a councillor should contact the Clerk—details below. Thank you. Chris Hill, clerk, tel. 01664.411705 [email protected] Page 2 Scalford Parish Council Please also see www.leicestershireparishcouncils.org The next PARISH COUNCIL MEETING will be held on Wednesday, 11th April 7.30 pm in the School Dog fouling, Scalford—again! I apologise for an incorrect listing of the dog loos in Scalford in last month’s Village News. The actual sites are by the South Street triangle, on the South Street car park, at the top of King Street and close to the Old Dairy site. There is no dog loo on the recreation ground, as dogs are not allowed there. Doggie bags should not be placed in the bin on that site (which is not for dog waste), and owners should keep their dogs on a lead staying on the footpath and behind the goal posts. Dog owners are also reminded that those who offend against the dog fouling laws can be prosecuted: the Parish Council have had so many complaints about dog fouling that they would like to encourage those who make the complaints to name some of the offenders to the Parish Council. ALLOTMENT RENTS will be collected in the School 6.00 pm on Friday, 6th April A reminder will be circulated to all allotment holders explaining the price increase. ISSUE 220 Page 3 General Notices ADVERTISING The new advertising pages are being prepared and should appear for the first time in the June issue.
