WHAT DOES MY COUNCILLOR DO FOR ME?

may Report from
Cllr Mrs MARIANNE OVERTON

Navenby Hub Community Centre
The application is from the Parish Council to the Big Lottery for a new community centre on the John Cutforth Memorial Field, to replace the current village hall in the primary school and provide improvements. The plans integrate with existing facilities on site and with the village office, to provide a natural hub in the Cliff villages and complimenting other facilities in the area. Questionnaire responses represented well over 400 Navenby people and over 170 letters of support were received. It was a fantastic effort and congratulations and thanks to all involved. We have certainly done our best and now we await the response!

Coleby village hall
The new village hall at Coleby was formally opened with a great party on April 21st. A great team effort, many congratulations to all involved, especially Chairman Andrew Long and project manager, Graham Warne. A super new facility and open for business!

NEW BUSES
Several of us from our no. 1 route went to support the launch of seven new double-decker buses, needed as the route is now so popular. The improvements in our bus service were as a result of a joint bid for national funding put in by the Bus Company and Lincolnshire County Council, championed by local resident and Director of the Bus company, Paul Hill and myself. Our support was vindicated, as this route is their best, showing increases from 5,500 to 11,500 passenger journeys per week in the 4½ since we began.

navenby bowls club
Following restoration of the green, the opening went well with razzmatazz on 21 April. There was an excellent turnout and new members welcomed. The next big event is Navenby Bowls Festival is on August 22-26th

Chicken farm application below boothby graffoe
The application went to the Planning Committee on 24th April and was refused on several grounds. There was much concern about the lack of proper assessment of the effect on the environment and about increased traffic on our small rural roads.

MAY 3 ELECTION
Cliff Villages has done it again - the highest turnout by far and the biggest personal vote in Lincolnshire. Thank you. There are many issues picked up on the doorsteps which I shall be working through steadily and I look forward to a successful four years for the Cliff Villages.

Best wishes,

Marianne
