Month: April 2025

Thursday 8th May will mark the 80th anniversary of VE day, the formal acceptance by the Allies of the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany's armed forces.  To mark the occasion we will be putting up bunting in the village centre.  Many thanks to both councillors and others who have volunteered for this task.

In line with our regular practice, we will be holding two annual meetings in the coming weeks.  Hope residents are invited to attend the annual meeting taking place at 7.00 pm immediately prior to the normal Parish Council meeting on Monday 12 May at the Old School in School Lane (see attached link for more information: Parish Meeting 2025).  Aston residents are invited to attend the annual meeting taking place in the Travellers Rest at 7.30 pm on Monday 28th April.

On 10 April we held a special meeting of the Parish Council as an open public Q&A session with our local MP, Jon Pearce.  Detailed notes of the questions asked by both Parish Councillors and members of the public present at the meeting, and Jon Pearce's comments in response, are available here:  Minutes -HwAPC Extraordinary Meeting April 2025
