03 – Annual Report for the Parish Council by the chairman:
Despite the difficult year we have all been through due to the pandemic covid19 the PC has continued to serve its parishioners to the best of our ability. Meetings have been held and business conducted all in line with the covid restrictions in place.
          Woodland area,
          General maintenance has been carried out with three grass cuts last year. A further seat has been placed. The meadow area has been cut to encourage wild flowers to grow.
          Looking to the future we are hoping to make the woodland area more accessible to more people but further work is needed.
          Allotments
          Much work has been carried out and we hope to continue. We have a new team bringing
          further ideas to the fore.
          Play Park
          Sadly this has been closed throughout the pandemic, but hope to open it soon when the necessary cleaning of the equipment has been carried out. We thank people for their patience as the parish Council do have a responsibility to keep EVERYONE SAFE.    
          Grass Verges
          Our contractor has been able to maintain the high standard of maintenance throughout.       
          Hanging Baskets
          These provide a much needed ans appreciated splash of colour throughout the summer
          Parish  Signs
          After five years of work the project has finally been completed. There are five “WELCOME “signs erected around the parish and we have received many positive comments. BUT sad to say one has been vandalised already at a cost to the Parish Council as it was beyond repair.    
          Parish Gardens     
          After some general maintenance they have come into their own and add colour and incest and brighten up our environment.        

Thank You to Councillors Anne Marie Cain and David Smith for their great contribution to the work of the Parish Council given in recent years. Welcome Councillors Carl and Judith Bender and Councillor Steve Kerry to the team and we look forward to working together for the good and well being of the residents of Temple Normanton and Corbriggs.
