Praise for South Cambs at Thriplow Parish AGM

At least one of the days of the Thriplow Daffodil week-end was reasonably sunny. Saturday was anything but...

Thursday before saw a reasonable turn-out for the Thriplow Parish Council AGM.

Putting aside the debate between residents over the accuracy of the village information signs (apparently mentioning a street that last existed in 1903) there was praise from all sides for South Cambs in the way that its environmental team had handled the issue of noise/anti-social behaviour outside the village hall, and for the good work on a transport strategy worked up by the new communities team to overcome the gaps that might be left in the bus services as a result of the county council's reduction of the subsidies paid to the bus operators. I'm trying to secure a grant from the council for the improvements to the village recreation ground - not easy as although it is a very solid proposal, times are hard. We'll see - there is a meeting to decide grants next week at south cambs where, like a true boy-scout, I'll do my best.
