Becky will be attending her first Planning meeting this Thursday. The tree is kindly donated by a landowner at the rear of Kingswood Firs and is cut down by Richard Hitchcock. It then needs to be dragged by a willing band of strong men to his lorry for the journey to the centre of the village, where it will be unloaded and hauled into position in The Square. If you feel you are able to help this year you will be more than welcome. This is a great tradition in Grayshott and the tree is enjoyed by the whole community, especially on Christmas Eve. We will meet at the entrance to Treadle Hill down the left hand fork at the end of Kingswood Firs at 10am on the 30th November. If you are able to help please let me know.

GRAYSHOTT PARISH COUNCIL CHAIRMAN'S REPORT For The Year Ended 31st March 2009 - Before I became a Parish Councillor I thought that it would be a boring job with very little to do other than sit on a committee and perhaps ponder on how to spend the precept. The truth of the matter is that it is rather different - although I do get to spend our cash and sign lots of cheques! On the financial front you will have seen that we have been conscious of pressures on incomes and have produced a budget for 2009/10 of £59,170 by comparison with that for 2008/09 of £59,000. We feel that this is a realistic figure which takes into account the reduction in the number of Grayshott Scenes to be printed in the future and that all the tree work recommended by our arboriculturist has already been done. more...
