Sign up to Village email
As you may know, the email system started so many years ago by Nora will now have to change as she is leaving North Moreton. We’d like to thank her very much for all that she has done to enable us to communicate with each other . We plan to continue to provide this service and to this end the Parish Council is taking over the running of a new system. All data will be held securely on a commercial server and not passed on to any other organisation. We will use the system to send out village communications and the village newsletter will also be sent this way.
If you would like to participate please hit the subscribe button ( and of course you may have more than one email registering from the same household) along with your full name and address.

Village History Group
Back in November 2017 we held a History Exhibition in The Bear which was well attended, with several of those present expressing an interest in setting up a small Village History group. Six years have now passed without progress, and during that time many of those who lived through the post war years have sadly died and their memories are lost forever.
Although fortunately we have the results of the detailed research carried by Gerald Howat and Kelvin White, there is always more to be discovered - and we also need to remember that today’s hap-penings are tomorrow’s history……
If you are interested in carrying out further research, providing the history of your property, or have any suggestions, do contact

North Moreton Newsletter
This newsletter is produced four times a year by Michael Howatt and once again our thanks go out to him for all his hard work.
More work has been done to improve the look of the Green Shoots plot. Children and adults spent one weekend this summer decorating various pieces of wood and stones plus an old gate. The results of this hard work are shown below and have been installed in the Green Shoots space.
They really have made a big difference and the whole plot now looks even more inviting with its brightly painted objects.

Car park update
More Recycled Plastic matting has been laid at the entrance to the recreation ground parking area. Many thanks to Rob and his children for their invaluable help. The matting has had a thin layer of soil spread over it so by this spring grass should be growing through the matting which should soon disappear into the the grass.
Other recreation ground news
Just before last July’s Cricket Festival, we installed three green recycling bins next to the general waste bins in the recreation ground, since most of the rubbish generated consists of bottles and cans. We would like to point
out that all the bins are emptied by volunteers (thanks to Dave Powell and Jon Slade for this), so it would be greatly appreciated if dog poo bags were put in the dog poo bins, bottles were emptied prior to disposal, waste food was bagged tightly and disposed of in the general waste bin, and babies’ nappies were taken home with the babies and definitely not put in the recycling bin.
Dog poo bins
The five dog poo bins around the village are provided principally for use by walkers. Although Biffa empty them regularly, they seem to fill up very quickly, so please don’t use them for dog waste from your garden, which can be disposed of in your black wheelie bin.
Grants for Young People
A reminder that North Moreton Charitable Trust is able to make a grant of£75 to young people on attaining the age of 18, whose family have beenresident in the village for a minimum of one year.
Please apply to the Clerk of the Trust
Nora.haycock@btinternet.com giving your age, a brief description of your further education, apprenticeship or job, and the likely purpose towards which you would apply the grant
