SEAT AVAILABLE: A vacancy for a parish councillor has arisen following the resignation of Councillor Kilburn. Public notices had been displayed and a request for an election must be received by Richmondshire District Council from ten parish electors. Should an election not be called, the parish council must fill the vacancy themselves.

FIREWORKS WARNING: Councillor Whitehead said he had been asked to inform villagers that following a wedding on May 11 there would be fireworks to celebrate and the family did not want to alarm anyone.
