Monks Kirby Parish Council Update
We welcome two new members to Monks Kirby Parish Council, Councillor Louise (Lu) Woolridge and Helena Varah both residents of Monks Kirby, both joined us last night for our July meeting.
The Parish Council await quotes to have the large sit on seasaw repaired. Looks like the two upright wooden posts have rotted away from the top making the metal bracket work loose. The equipment was installed in 2009, so now 15 years old. Hopefully we shall have it back in action very soon.

About Parish Councils
.
A parish council is a civil local authority found in England which is the lowest tier of local government. The activities of a Parish Council fall into three main categories: representing the local community, delivering services to meet local needs, and improving quality of life and community well being. As it is the authority closest to the people, parish councils are invariably the first place people will go with concerns or ideas. For this reason they are a vital part of any community. Parish councils are funded by levying a "precept" collected with the council tax paid by the residents of the parish. Parish councils have unpaid councillors who are elected to serve for four years, unless a casual vacancy arises which may be filled by a by-election or by co-option.
