ANNOUNCEMENTS

ICY PATHWAYS
Our very reliable snow removal company does
a great job  keeping the paths clear
but sometimes their clean up work is followed by
the snow plough which blocks the entrance
to the Parish Centre and Church or
more weather happens. 
The clean up team cannot be here all the time
so occasionally we have to clear the pathway or
put some de-icer down ourselves. 
There is a snow shovel and bucket of de-icer
at the door of the Parish Centre and the Church. 
If you see that the path is icy or needs a little clearing,
please help us out.
