North Curry Parish Council White Street Development: This project has suffered a setback due to the Football Foundation deciding not to offer funding despite earlier assurances that our circumstances were eligible. The Council is pushing ahead with a scaled down range of amenities and is seeking alternative sources of funding. White Street Woodland: This area of around ⅔ acre will be planted during this winter. Help is invited for the design and planting work. Original ideas welcome. Please ring Phil Stone 01823 491689 or Tim Machen 01823 490881. New Bridge: The Parish Council’s negotiations with the Environment Agency have resulted in the proposed closure of New Bridge being limited initially to 3 months. There will be additional short-term closures after that date and the EA have agreed to give at least one week’s notice of these and to provide effective signage to avoid drivers going as far as the bridge to find it is closed. Newport Road closure: The Council has been advised that Newport Road will be closed from Oxen Lane to the A378 for one week from 1st September. Mailing List: At the time of writing, we have had four responses to our request in July for parishioners to participate in the proposed e-mailing list. This was to be used to circulate reminders and urgent information on planning and other issues when the conventional communication channel of this Newsletter is not sufficiently timely. The list would be strictly confidential to the Council and would not be published. If you would like your address to be placed on the list, please send an e-mail with MAILING LIST as the Subject quoting your name together with your e-mail and postal addresses to parishcouncil@northcurry.com. We need your postal address to validate that you are a parishioner. If we do not receive a lot more responses, we will abandon the idea. Police Surgery: This will take place in the Parish Office on Tuesday 2nd September from 10:00 – 11:00 am DeafPLUS: This mobile advisory service will be visiting Queen Square again on Thursday 25th September between 1:30 and 3:15 pm.

North Curry Coffee Shop North Curry’s own As autumn approaches, the Coffee Shop takes on a local flavour in the form of our own artists Kate Mears and Nancy Wells. Kate trained as an illustrator then worked in London illustrating mainly children’s books. She has lived in North Curry for the last 14 years, now painting watercolours of interiors, still life, gardens and buildings, including views of North Curry, many reproduced as cards and postcards. As for Nancy, there will be new work – alongside her traditional range of willow-ware and orchard-ware. Premiered in North Curry – so make sure you come for a viewing! From 2nd September through to 12th October. And don’t forget – if you read our appeal for more volunteers last month and thought of contacting us but haven’t got round to it – it’s never too late. Phone 490795 or 490623 to find out more. It’s fun too!
