ALL THE LATEST PARISH COUNCIL NEWS IN BRIEF......JUST THE 2010 STUFF
July 10th was the date of the inaugral Parish Summer Fete. The Parish Council organised and sponsored the event, which attracted many local families. A wide range of stalls and attractions kept the visitors amused, while a DJ, a band (Beats Working), an accapella group (the Reluctants), local gymnasts, a belly dancing troop and a stilt walker, amongst others, entertained the crowd.
Thank you to everyone who completed a feedback form following the event. Your suggestions will be incorporated into next year's fete wherever possible. Each person completing the feedback form was entered into a free prize draw. We are pleased to confirm that the winning prize draw entrant was Tim Martlow from Monkston. Tim won a family ticket for the MK Dons! Well done Tim!
We hope that this will be an annual event. Preparations will soon start for the 2011 fete. If you would like to get involved please contact the Events Committee at mkmpevents@gmail.com for more information.
We hope to grow this event year on year, and we welcome all to embrace the opportunities this event provides. We are also hoping that the community will support this event and turn up in their thousands!
We are truly sorry about the everlasting delays in getting this site operational. It wqas totally out of our hands and has been throughout the last two years. HCA have been a nightmare to work with. They have not listened to our requests, and they have created a less than perfect project. Their time line control has been pathetic. In the end we have just cut our losses to get the handover completed even if we are going to be out of pocket at the end of the day.
HOWEVER - we are now in the process of getting people signed up and allocating plots and getting the keys handed over. Allotment holders will have all winter and the spring to get the ground turned over and prepared fo rnext season.
We will need to do some work on the site to make the fencing more secure even after you take over your plots...We're sure you'll agree with the need. Neighbouring houesholds whose gardens back on to the allotments will be consulted about the fencing type and look. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great news for Monkston Park. Work has started on this long awaited community asset, by the builder McCann.
The Parish Council is now seeking people who have an interest in making this centre a viable and going concern to work in a steering group with the developers and the contractors (Hartsmere) who will be the centre's managers. After opening the group will continue to advise and steer the management group, who they will work closely with.
Expect completion by late autumn 2010 and official opening early in the new year.
