Melling Parish Council NOTICE OF VACANCY
Melling Parish Council
NOTICE OF VACANCY
1. Notice is given that a casual vacancy exists in the office of Councillor for the Melling Parish Council caused by the resignation of Councillor Cllr Debbie Millican
MELLING Parish Council are working together with local residents to make our village a safer and cleaner place.
Making Melling safer for everyone
Unfortunately, inconsiderate parking has become an increasingly hazardous practice in our village with cars, vans and sometimes even HGVs parked on footpaths and street corners. This practice can cause difficulties for blind and partially sighted people, users of wheelchairs and mobility scooters as well as parents with children, pushchairs and buggies. At worse, it means people may have to step out into a busy road to avoid a vehicle parked without consideration.
Melling Neighbourhood Plan
Melling Neighbourhood Plan
Melling Parish Council has produced a draft Neighbourhood Plan and will shortly be seeking your views!
What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
A Neighbourhood Plan is a planning document which will be used to determine planning applications in our area.

Melling Christmas Wish Celebration
