PARISH COUNCIL REPORT
The Annual Parish Council meeting was held on Thursday 14th May, and the Annual Report was presented, and is available on the website for you to read. It outlines our activities over the past year. It is the first time we have published an annual report, and goes towards our efforts to achieve Quality Parish status.
In the Parish Council meeting that followed the Annual meeting, thanks was given to Christine Baker and David Poulter for their service to the Council. They have stepped down from the Council, leaving 2 vacancies. Helen Punnett was elected as Vice-Chairman of the Parish Council, and Brian Wood was elected Chair of Finance. We also thanked Andrew Grice for his work on the Finance committee, after he stepped down as Chairman, he remains a Councillor.
We were disappointed to be advised that BT intend to remove the cash option at the Parish phone by the green “imminently”, without consultation or appeal. Emergency calls will remain free.
I recently joined the Tangmere Twinning Association on a visit to Hermanville, our twinned village on the Normandy coast of France. I was particularly struck by the continued strength of feeling the French have for our country for the efforts on D-Day in 1944. All along the landing beaches there are memorials to the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives to help liberate France. As Tangmere was a control centre for the D-Day operations, it is fitting that we have the privilege to be twinned with Hermanville. As 6th June is the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings it is appropriate for me to ask if you would like to know more about the Twinning Association. There is a separate report in this edition from the Association, please remember why the Association exists when you read it.
