Cornforth Parish Council wants to reward those who serve the village by litter picking with a thank you letter. Do you know anyone who has done sterling work in picking up litter to keep our village environment pleasant? If so please let me know who they are by emailing [email protected]

Yesterday, a large fluffy ginger cat was found dead near the entrance to the allotments. They appear to have been shot elsewhere then dumped. Please keep an eye on your pets, especially if they roam. The Parish Council has informed the police regarding this incident and we're actively looking for the pet owner to let them know.

We're asking anyone who may have information, or sees anyone with any form of gun, regardless of type, to contact 101 and inform the police. This allows for some basic checks and can help to keep you, your family, pets, and neighbours safe.

As always, you can contact the clerk with any concerns or information at [email protected].
