Bradford Abbas

It is with profound sadness that the Bradford Abbas Parish Council shares the news that the Chairman Derek Hayward has passed away suddenly on the 16th January. 

The Parish Clerk has published the Minutes of the Community Land Trust Meeting that took place on Thursday, 21 November 2019

The Interpretation Board, which stands in the village near the War Memorial, is the result of an idea put into action by Bradford Abbas History Society. 

Angela Haigh, Chair of the History Society,  tells us the story of the Interpretation Board for which we have to thank Derek Hayward for all the hard work he put in to make it finally happen, together with several very generous funders.

Our Rights of Way Liaison Officer has put together an illustrated summary of footpaths in, into, and out of the village.

Way back in the October of 2016, the volunteer team of Derek Hayward, Bob Skett, Peter Clark and Jim Clegg did a magnificent job of refurbishing the broken fingerpost at the junction of Westbury and Bishops Lane.

This story of voluntary effort, recounted by Derek Hayward, is worth telling through the medium of the Parish Council website.
