KING CHARLES III CORONATION – MAY 6TH

 

Get involved with the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty The King which will take place on Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey, London when we will see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside The Queen Consort.

Residents in Ridlington will have the chance to come together in the village to celebrate the Coronation of the new Monarch.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Following the success of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, I thought it would be lovely if Ridlington were to take part and have some kind of event in the village on Sunday 7th May to celebrate the King’s Coronation. The Parish Council have kindly approved some funding to support such an event.

I’m not aware if Ayston are planning anything, so thought I would ask if they would also like to join in with our  Ridlington event? I am happy to organise with support, as before, so am looking for ideas and/or offers of help. Ideas could range from street party to bring your own picnic…

I would be grateful if you would let me know if:
1. You think this is a good idea
2. You have any suggestions
3. If you can offer help/support however great or small

Please join us at Chimney Cottage on:  Friday 10th March at 2:00 pm

for an initial discussion/planning meeting – or just to listen in and have a cuppa amongst friends!

If you are aware of anyone else who might like to receive this information, please let me know, or forward this message to them.

 

Many thanks,

DOG FOULING

There has been a significant increase of dog fouling within the village. Pavement, road and private driveways.

This has been brought to the attention of the Parish Council following an incident which resulted from a dog fouling outside a resident’s property.

This is not acceptable.

Thank you to the majority of dog walkers who are considerate and respectful and clear up after their dogs, But as usual it is a small number of individuals who cause the problem.

Not having a bag with you is no excuse!

HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF BECOMING A COUNCILLOR?

Have you thought of becoming a Councillor for our Village?

In May 2023, all County and Parish Councillors will stand down after 4 years of service and a re-election will take place.

There are 7 Councillors for Ridlington so if 7 or less apply to be Councillors then they will be automatically re-elected. If more than 7 persons apply, then there will be a Village election on May 4th 2023.

 

Ridlington Parish Council meet formally four times a year in the Village Hall. There are a few other occasions when meetings are called for other matters such as planning applications. This is not an onerous role you would be undertaking. There is a professional paid clerk who manages the Parish Council.

If you would like to know more about the role please speak to one of the current Councillors or visit the Village website: ridlingtonparishcouncil.org

Thank you,
Dave Johnson
Chairman
