Annual Report 2021-22

Parish Council Report for year 2021 -2022

We began 2021 as we ended 2020 holding our meetings online. When it was no longer permissible to have our meetings online we returned to our regular venues and a near-normal schedule of meetings, missing only one when we felt the Covid rates were too high for it to be safe. We noted that members of the public who had been keen to join us online did not come to the face-to-face meetings. As we said last year, the convenience of joining in from the comfort of one’s own home should not be under-estimated, especially on a cold winter’s night.

Our email service and Facebook page continue to help us disseminate information. Find us at https://www.facebook.com/winstred100parishcouncil.

Hundred grand grant for Village Hall

pvh The Peldon Village Hall Management Committee were pleased to announce that plans for a new village hall for Peldon took a big step forward in December when they were awarded a grant of £100,000 from the Abberton Reservoir Community Fund towards the project. Following the granting of planning permission in August, this is a significant contribution towards the estimated £600,000 needing to be raised.

As a condition of the grant, the new building will have a lobby area that is open throughout the day, even if the hall is not in use. This area will include toilet facilities, an information area about the reservoir and a vending machine for the convenience of visitors who may wish to park in the hall’s car park before setting off to walk round the easterly side of the enlarged reservoir, once pathways have been created.

Together with the £30,000 already awarded from Essex County Council’s Community Initiatives Fund and £20,000 accumulated from fundraising events in recent years, the committee are now about a quarter of the way towards their target. Three further grant applications have been lodged and more will follow, including a major one to the Big Lottery, about which more will be said in coming months.

In the meantime there are lots of fundraising events coming up you can support to help:

Race Night on 17^th March – flyer attached gives all the details (POSTPONED)
30^th June –Soul Concert with the Crissy Lee Band and Grand Auction. Venue – Brickhouse Barn, Lower Road, Peldon. Further details to be announced.
