The date of the next Meeting of LEA & CLEVERTON Parish Council is September 21st 2010. The meeting will be held in Lea Village Hall commencing at 7:30 p.m. All Parish Council meetings are open to the public and the Press. WILTSHIRE COUNCIL's web site is to be found at www.wiltshire.gov.uk. it has expanded considerably and has much information available. The telephone number for all departments at County
Hall, Trowbridge is 0300 456 0100. The Area Office for North Wiltshire is located at Monkton Park, Chippenham SN15 1ER where you can to get help and information on any council service. If you wish have a face to face meeting this can also be arranged. Dog Walkers are reminded of the need to clear up after their pets. There has been a considerable increase in the fouling of pavements and other areas, particularly some grass verges where is grass is rather longer which hides doggy droppings. This is a fineable offence. Please be considerate to others and don't let
your pets leave their calling cards behind. CLEAN UP BEHIND THEM. Thank you. BT have removed the telephone service from the Telephone Boxes in both Lea and Garsdon. The power supply, due to the annual charge which was considered by the Parish Council to be an unnecessary expense, was removed prior to the transfer of ownership to the Parish Council. The GARSDON box is set up as an information centre with a notice board, given some TLC and repainted in the traditional red colour with crowns the top of each side picked out in gold. The LEA box has been converted into a book exchange which we hope all will make use of. The smart finish of both boxes is a credit to the Parish. The LEA box was much admired by the CPRE in the recent judging for the Best
Kept Village Competition the result of which maybe found elsewhere on this page. The boxes as a result of the repainting has been much admired by all and particularly by one local Parish Council. The additional painting of the crowns has made the effect all the more impressive.

The Parish Council much appreciates the effort of those residents of the village who took the time and trouble to keep their frontages, including hedges and grass verges well trimmed and free from litter. The comments made by the CPRE Judges are as follows: 1.A village whose centre is designated within a conservation area - situated and set in the magnificent setting of north west Wiltshire. 2. The Jubilee Playing
Fields were in very good order. Children's play area well maintained, safe and free from litter. 3. St Giles Churchyard was tidy and grass reasonably well mown. 4. The Rose & Crown Public House was under renovation, it has recently changed ownership. The outside was attractive and the car park free of litter. 5. The Chapel and Graveyard were tidy but the grass a little long. The notice board was a little faded. 6. The Laurels consevation area looked rather overgrown. 7. Lea & Garsdon CE Primary School & Lea Pre-School are situated on the edge of the village. The school looked well kept with no rubbish in the playground. The notice board was up to date and tidy. The Pre-School is a portacabin adjacent to the school with a children's play area outside. This too was well maintained. 8. Lea allotments are an additional facility to the village which is well used. The Plots varied - some very productive and others overgrown. Paths were well mown
but the sides of the site were weedy. 9. The Village Hall was well kept and used. It was tidy in the front and notices up to date. 10. The Telephone Box is owned by the Parish Council and was very clean and tidy. 11. Pembroke Green although highlighted as a problem area was clear of rubbish. The centre green was a little overgrown and the roadside gutters a little weedy. 12. A lovely Wiltshire village. This is a multi-agency approach to reduce accidental dwelling fires and associated death and injury by identifying 'vulnerable' members of the community who are more at risk of fire and to refer them to the Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service. The Target Group consists of Lone Pensioners; Single Parent families; Homes where an occupant has a long term limiting
ilness or a physical/mental impairment, (including alcohol and substance dependency); Homes with Low Income and Homes where adults have never worked.
