AT THE Aprill meeting of the parish council, councillors began the process of securing a bus shelter for Briantspuddle.
Timetables had been received from Damory Coaches for the 387 service, which has been extended.
Timetables are available from the village shop.
Councillors continued their efforts to persuade the county council to bring a swift resolution to the illegal travellers' camp at Sares Wood.
The director of environmental services at the county council has the responsibility for traveller issues.
He will be invited to visit the camp to witness the impact it is having on the community.
The parish council, along with other interested parties, has been able to secure from the county council a commitment to certain improvements along the B3390.
This includes consultation on a traffic regulation order to restrict the size of vehicles that use the B3390 and road improvements at Hurst Bridge.
Councillor Nick Gore receives a number of helpful and informative emails from the neighbourhood watch team, and he is happy to forward these to anyone who would be interested.
Nick can be contacted at Nicholas.gore@tiscali.co.uk
The next meeting of the parish council is on Wednesday May 14 at 7pm in Briantspuddle village hall.
