Parish council

(a small summary of what was discussed ,minutes will appear on the notice board  & web site in due course)

A Parish Council Meeting  was held in the Parish rooms on Monday 5th July.

Among the items discussed were Planning applications at The Thomas Centre. This was supported by the Parish Council, also an application for change of use of stables next to Swanbeck House to create a dwelling, the council supported this application. A previous  application to remove 2 conditions at Newbridge Stables was successful .

Cllr Mossop updated us on items discussed at the Northern area committee meeting inc the increased theft of Bicycles from local properties, also to keep up pressure on the highways department regarding salting of Peartree Lane and Firebeacon Lane. We were also updated on the merging of services between East Lindsey and South Holland councils .

 We did not get through the first round of Best Kept Village we await the judges comments.

The Parish Council would like to thank all those who made a concerted effort to make the village look better . Plans to produce a leaflet with a Covenham village walk are on hold due to cuts.

 The Parish council would like to thank those who have helped keep the village tidy by cutting the grass around the village signs and tending to the flowers around the signs, notice board and parish rooms.  If anyone can help we need the hedges cut at Saint Marys church and Saint Bartholomew  church . Also help needed to distribute this courier.

The Courier is put together by Mr Lindsey Jeavons

Will and Mandy Hay have now taken over at The New Plough.

Will is a trained chef, having worked in London hotels originally.

In recent years Will and Mandy have been working in golf clubs in Hertfordshire and having a house in Lincolnshire for the past 7 years have spent the last year looking to permanently relocate to Lincolnshire.

 They are hoping to welcome those from the village and beyond and create a more stable and welcoming atmosphere.

 

On the food side they are looking to bring a restaurant standard of food but without the frills at more affordable prices.

Quality is not sacrificed as produce is supplied locally by Alvingham farm shop and Shaw and Son
