Roughlee Parish Council
Parish Gathering, Climate Action, Best Kept Village...
Our annual Parish Gathering at the beginning of July was well attended by approximately 50 residents and proved to be a success. In addition to reporting on our normal progress and activities we had the pleasure of listening to Beccy Murrell and Ruth White from Newchurch giving us an update on the ‘Climate Change Action Day’ that was held in May. The topics and discussions that this generated threw up three additional potential projects across out extended parishes which may come to fruition.
Carmel Hustler from the Lancashire Archives’ KELP Project provide a rolling slide show of some old and not so old photographs of our village and surrounding areas which was very interesting, and last but not least we were treated to a wonderful artwork display and talk from local artist Michael Howley. The evening concluded with wine and nibbles. So all things considered it was a “good do”.
The first stage of judging for the BKV has been completed, and judges spotted. I am very pleased to be able to report that we have got through to the next round. Keeping the village looking up to its normal standard has been proving very difficult of late due to the unseasonal weather that we have been having and the extremely fast growing weeds that we have throughout the village. Let’s ALL keep up the magnificent work and see if we can progress further.
Other than the above it has been a relatively quite month in the parish.
Next meeting Monday 5th August at 7pm in the Village Centre.
