Last night my wife Ruth and I attended the monthly Stamford Bridge Parish Council meeting. Pocklington Provincial is blessed with six fantastic Parish Councils. Like the villages they represent they are all very different. This can be seen in the issues they discuss, the Parish Councillors themselves and the public who attend.

Not only is Stamford Bridge Parish Council blessed with some great Parish Councillors with years of dedication and experience they also have the most public in attendance at their meetings. The public have a fifteen minute period in which to ask questions. These are always diverse and never in short supply.

There is a lot going on in Stamford Bridge and the Parish Council are steering the ship in a responsible manner for the benefit of residents. The most important aspect at all meetings is laughter.

Dont take my word for it the next meeting will be held at 7.30 on Monday 11 March. I encourage all residents to attend.
