Tuesday 26 March The Parish Council met and PCSO Perchard gave his report he mentioned that the Police will have a table to do Property marking on Friday 3 May at Farmers Market so make a note in your diaries to take the opportunity to have your precious items marked.

Parking on Pavements is a problem within the village. The Council asks that residents and their visitors or trades people to park alongside the kerb and not on the pavements as it is a hazard to those walking, pushing buggies and especially for those in wheelchairs. PCSO Perchard will be keeping his eye out for offenders. There are also areas around the village that has litter spoiling it. If you spot any near your home please pick it up. If you see it on your travels or see any one dumping it, please phone the Parish Clerk Lesley Banister 01424 882800 and let her know any details and where it is. Lesley is also the contact to book Brede Community Hall in the recreation ground at £5 an hour.
