Chairman's Report 2011
I would like to state what a privilege and an honour it has been to serve as Kirkland Parish Council Chairman these past twelve months and thank my fellow Councillors for their support and energy. Thankfully, we have not lost anymore members and I am hopeful we will have some new blood to serve the parish in the very near future.
A couple of ground breaking changes everyone has been talking about have occurred:
First the installation of one of the UK’s largest wind turbines at Dewlay and secondly the PANDA road safety initiative formulated by Will Hull and deployed by the children of Kirkland and Catterall St. Helen's C of E Primary School. I’m sure were all aware of the one which has had the most benefit to our community?
I hope you’ll all agree the Village was brightened up again with your competitive participation in growing the tallest sunflowers and also at Christmas with the illuminated tree on The Green in front of the Horns Inn. We anticipate improving this further by planting daffodils along The Avenue for Spring next year.
On behalf of us all, I would like to thank Gillian our Parish Clerk for her continued endeavour and commitment to the Parish Council and also to Tim our Parish Lengthsman and his role in maintaining and tending the Parish amenities.
Keith Ellin,
Chairman of Kirkland Parish Council
