There are vacancies on Farlam Parish Council and under the Local Government Act 1972 a notice must be published 

The meeting on the 14th July was not quorate and therefore could not go ahead. It is hoped that it can be arranged for the 28th July 2021 at 1930hrs.

The new date will be published on the notice board and on the site as normal.

The risk assessment for the meeting falls in to two parts

Part 1 HBG Village Hall 'face to face meetings assessment.

Part 2 Covid 19 physical face to face meetings protocol.

Vandalism to Engine Cottage  Hallbankgate

Most children in the village are known and if seen vandalising property they could be reported to the police. If it is their first time they may get away with a reprimand

However the damage would have to be paid for by the parents.

Ignoring the state of this building, just to get a glazier out to glaze the door and side panel with safety glass could run into hundreds of £’s. The parents in this case have been very responsible and have voluntarily secured the building with ply.

Another disturbing problem that has been brought to my knowledge is that older children are taking over the play area and swinging the apparatus around and forcing the swings over the bar. The play area is for younger children to enjoy as no doubt these children did when they were younger.

We do not want a nasty accident.

I am sure that, from the information I have been given, it is only a small group of children who are responsible.
