CAROL SINGING
We had a successful evening carol singing in Guilsborough
just before Christmas and raised £180 for the Northampton night shelter, Acorn House at 3 Oak St. It is run by NAASH (N’hampton Assocciation for Accommodation for Single
Homeless) and helps and supports homeless people
With the aim of resettling them within society. Thank
you very much to everyone who
joined us to sing and to all
who listened and donated.

Dog Fouling - Walking your
dog at the Playing Field
Dear Villager
We wrote to you at the end of the summer to ask for your help with the problem of dog fouling at the Playing Field. Unfortunately we have seen no improvement and this continues to cause a serious health hazard to all those who play sport at the field including young children. This is a final polite request to ask for your assistance. Please use the bins provided by the Parish Council otherwise serious consideration will be given to banning dogs from the field.
Thank you for your co-operation.
