Bus shelter vandalised
/in News /by Chris NealeIt is such a shame that elements in our community feel it appropriate to go around damaging property. These bus shelters are owned by the Parish and are maintained by the council taxes we all pay. The repairs will be paid for out of the precept money which, in effect, is a cost to each household.
Anyone with information may call Crimestoppers (0800 555 111) confidentially to report on any acts of vandalism.
This incident has been reported to West Mercia Police.

Information on a Parish Meeting
All Parish Councils throughout England are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting, which must take place between 1st March and the 1st of June.
The meeting enables the Parish Council and local groups to explain what they have been doing over the last year and provides an opportunity for the electors to have their say on anything they consider is important to the people of the Parish.
The Annual Parish Meeting is a meeting of all the local government electors for the Parish, any elector may make suggestions and comment on anything relevant to the residents of Hartlebury.
There can be, and often is, confusion between the Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council. The Annual Parish Meeting is not a Council meeting.
Community Conversation number 3
Following the Annual Parish Meeting there will be an opportunity to have a cup of tea and discuss your topics of interest with Councillors, areas of interest will include, planning, speeding, playgrounds, car parks, Atlas mobile phone presentation re signal and new masts, community development and the time bank.
