Worthington Parish Council
Serving the people of Worthington, Griffydam, Newbold and parts of Coleorton
April Parish Council Meeting
The meeting scheduled for 8th April has been moved to Thursday 16th April at Newbold School, commencing 6.00 p.m. The agenda will be published prior to the meeting.
** Parish Council Noticeboards **
We have recently put some small QR codes on the noticeboards which take you directly to the parish council website. These can be particularly useful for visitors to the parish who want to find out more about what’s in and around the parish. If you’ve not already visited the new website, you’ll find information about clubs, societies and organisations; places to go and visitor attractions in AND around the parish, and local services.
There’s more information notices; you can see the location of the five public access defibrillators in the parish (now all supported by the parish council for ongoing maintenance), details of the new Fox Connect bus service, and the mobile library timetable.
** New Parish Councillor **
We’re delighted to introduce our newest councillor. Justin Stewart has lived in Newbold for 26 years so he’s well placed to appreciate the comings and goings of parish life!
When asked why he wanted to become a councillor, Justin said “I want to help ensure that our parish is not overlooked with respect to matters relating to highways and pavement maintenance, policing and transport links. I would also like to encourage more engagement between the people of our parish and the parish council either by attending meetings to see what we do and raise suggestions or concerns or if not to contact us via the Clerk.”
We don’t publish mugshots of the councillors (we’re very shy 
) but if you want to see who we are in real life, particularly our new councillor Justin, please do come along to a parish council meeting. The next scheduled meeting is 8th April; the agenda will be published on our website www.worthington-pc.gov.uk, Facebook (if our councillor who looks after Facebook remembers to do it 
) and the parish noticeboards. The meetings rotate between the three villages; Newbold school, Griffydam School, St. Matthew’s Church, Worthington so please check the agenda for the location. Meetings commence at 6.00 p.m.
We’re sure you will join us in welcoming Justin and we look forward to seeing you!
