Several people in the village live on their own and as far as the Parish Council is aware receive help and friendly contact, but if anyone requires any further help please let us know. Council for Voluntary Service – Village Liaison Officer Project Doug Nethercleft is our Village VLO. This project has been set up to give local help for people in rural Stratford and Warwick districts. We have invited Doug to come along to a Parish Council Meeting to give us an insight into his work. Winter Gritting A map of the areas gritted by the Council is displayed on the Notice Board.
