NEW IN SHINFIELD PARISH DESPITE COVID
New Pavilion for Spencers Wood Recreation
Ground
T
he old building is nearing its end of useful life
and a team of councillors and local residents
have been working hard to develop plans
with a specialist modular building company. These
plans have now been submitted for planning
permission (200992). We are aiming to replace
the building during the normal school summer
holidays, to be fully operational in September
2020.
As you can see from the image below, the new
pavilion is impressive and is multi-use in its
design. It will have three rooms that can be used
by organisations or clubs with concertina walls
so that small, medium and large meetings can be
catered for.
Community Competitions during COVID
lockdown – Arranged by Shinfield
Parish Council
P
lease do not forget the competitions we
launched last month. As the lockdown is now
with us over the summer, we have extended
the deadlines, so you now have more time to
paint, bake or write that prize-winning entry. We
look forward to judging your entries in September
when lockdown has hopefully eased.
We will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd
prizes for the categories listed
below.
There will also be the prestige
of having the best paintings and
poems mounted in frames and
placed in the new Community
Centre on School Green.
Now get going. We look forward to receiving your
entries at Shinfield Parish Hall between 9am and
1pm on Friday 18th September 2020. Judging
will be done that afternoon, with the winners
being informed through the parish website. The
award ceremony will need to be subject to COVID
restrictions in place, so we will let you know where
and when.
Deardon Allotments were
opened in April and allotment
holders are already creating
their little oasis of horticultural
splendour.
Footpath 11 has been upgraded
and all our footpaths will be
maintained to allow exercise
during lockdown.
Meet the guy who will maintain
all those footpaths and
the parish. John is our new
Groundsman/Maintenance
Officer (GMO). John has already
made an impact and when you
are out in the parish I am sure
you will appreciate his work.
We will have a new and improved Shinfield Parish Council Website soon
(shinfieldparish.gov.uk) following a complete revamp by a professional website
design company. During any crossover down-time, please use our Facebook page.
