Playing on Cooper's Green
Dear Editors,
I am hoping that some will be able to find out what is Cooper's Green supposed to be used for!
Is it just for walking through to the pub/church? The reason I am asking is that on many evenings and days my children have gone to play on the green, on a couple of occasions with a cricket bat, stumps, and a soft sponge ball ready for a game of cricket. I escorted them there one afternoon and placed the stumps in the middle of the green, but only ten minutes later the children came home having been told to "Go away, you will break a window"! Even when play football they get told by a lady to go away.
Are they allowed to play on Cooper's Green?
This is as bad as the man complaining about the Church bells when you live next to the church.
If you live next to a village green, surely you should give and take children playing?
Couldn't agree more Lisa, and we suggest the next time you are approached in this way, you refer any complaints to the Parish Council. Ths would make a suitable item for discussion at the Village Assembly, and we are forwarding it to Karen.

Dear Editors,
We have just received the April `Crier'. I see on the Parish Council Notes page, a cry of "budget cuts". On the same page reports of wrong signs being scattered about the village like free-range eggs.
At the bottom of the page, in the same article is mention again of budget cuts stopping a bus stop sign, but this time coupled with the good news that there is about to be a new member of staff.
Is he/she to be a voluntary member?
On the next page is a paragraph by Francis Reeks. Why go outside the village for strange thingies?
