Flood on Meeting House Lane & Norley Road, Friday 24 March

The owners of Greenacres Farm have asked that the following be posted in respect to the flood of separated water on the afternoon of Friday 24 March 2017:

Dear Kingsley Village,

I should like to apologise on behalf of all at Greenacres Farm for the flood this afternoon. The police, the Environment Agency and Highways were informed immediately of the incident and the fire service is now in attendance to aid clearance. The flood is what is known as "separated water" which has been separated from the cow's "slurry" or "manure"; it is not human sewerage; separated water is commonly used for irrigation and natural fertillisation of pasture and crops grown for both animal and human consumption. Once again, we do apologise and assure everyone that we are assisting the authorities in their remedial actions.

Dog Control - Polite Request

There have been several complaints recently with regard to dogs running loose within the Kingsley Playing Field and upsetting other users of the park. The Parish Council have recently invested time and money within the playing field for the benefit of everyone in the village.  Whether your dog is friendly or not, please make sure they are under control and not liable to run up to other members of the public, which can be scary, especially for children.

Please also ensure dogs are kept off the play area (identified by the coloured surface) at all times.

The Parish Council are considering options to address this problem so that the playing field is a welcome and enjoyable environment for everyone.

The police will be making patrols around the playing field and have said that anyone with any concerns can ring them on 101.
