PUBLIC NOTICE
The Parish
Council has been granted a licence to treat Greylag Goose
and Mallard Duck eggs. The licence permits the Council to
treat nests on private property in the village, but only at
the invitation of the property owner.
The Parish
Council’s policy of humane management is not a quick fix,
but with Parishioners’ support it will maintain current
numbers and gradually the flock will reduce to a naturally
acceptable balance.
The Parish
Council continues to urge residents not to feed the ducks or
geese. This is particularly important to prevent mother
ducks bringing ducklings off the ponds and onto the roads.

Look before you leap........ into a Taxi
The Borough Council is reminding residents that when using a
taxi, to check that vehicle and driver are both licensed. The
licensing system ensures the safety and security of passengers
as vehicles are the subject of extra safety checks and the
drivers have to go through a Criminal Records Bureau check
All licensed taxis must to display a white coloured plate on the
rear of the vehicle and be fitted with a roof light. The vehicle
will also display a white licence in the front of the vehicle
next to the tax disc and be fitted with a fare metre. Private
hire vehicles (PHV) can only pick up pre-booked fares and cannot
ply for hire at taxi ranks. PHVs have to display a yellow plate
on the rear of the vehicle and a yellow licence on the front
windscreen of the vehicle above the tax disc. Drivers of both
taxis and private hire vehicles must also wear an identification
badge which displays their photograph.
The Borough Council urges that anyone needing to use a taxi or
private hire vehicle to check that this identification is
present and if they notice or experience anything suspicious to
report it to them on 01553 616600 as soon as possible, so that
it can be investigated.
