Natland Parish Council Special Meeting - Minutes

 The Parish Council met on the 7th June by Zoom to discuss their response to the proposed building development on Sedgwick Road between Smithy Close and Appletree School. Read all about it here.

Change of date of Afternoon Tea

Due to the delay in the lifting of all Government Restriction on July 5th we  had no option other than to postpone our planned ‘ Afternoon Tea’ until Monday 19th July 3.00pm- Natland Village Green.

We had already sold 50 tickets, well above the number of 30 legally allowed for meeting outdoors as present restrictions stand. With all the interest shown to date we are hopeful that we will sell more, however we do have a limit.

I hope that this change of date does  not effect those of you who have already bought a ticket, or contacted us about reserving tickets.

If you would like a ticket please let me know.       Marley Hunter. W.I.

Wild Scenes in Natland

Wildflowers have been left to have their way in some places in Natland this year, and this is the result. Please do send in pictures if you have a favourite wild area this spring.

Remember the Plant Stall

There are plenty of plants available in and around the church porch at the moment.

Details of how to pay are on the notice near the plants. Stock changes daily so its worth checking out what’s available every few days. 24 hour opening whilst stocks last.

Prices are always reasonable and all plants are grown locally with minimum transport miles!
