Weather Report


From Paul Brewer:

It will be irrelevant to most of you, and you may not be able to communicate amongst yourselves anyway, but, for what it is worth here is the state of play as regards the weather and roads here in Wing.

Today (Sun 10th) was seniors Christmas lunch. Because of the importance of the event, the path up to the car park and the car park itself was cleared of snow and gritted. As of 18:00 today the track and car park are clear of snow and black in colour right down to the road.
The gravel car park, to the left, as you enter, has not been cleared and is difficult to drive on with other than a 4X4.

Wing village was effectively cut off this morning and was so up until midday. Wing hill coming in from Preston was very slippery and my car could not get down, let alone up it.
However by mid-afternoon a gritting lorry came through, from Manton I think, so the road had been cleared. It is now freezing hard and I don’t know what the state will be tomorrow morning. I shall be attempting a doctors visit to Uppingham in the morning and will report road conditions on my return midday.

Can I suggest if you are interested in conditions local to Wing you look on our village website where we will try to keep up to date information available while conditions are rough.

IMPORTANT VILLAGE MEETING REGARDING WING VILLAGE HALL WEDNESDAY 17 JANUARY 7PM


The Parish Council, as Trustee of the Charity Wing Community Centre (Wing Village Hall) wishes to seek the approval of Wing’s community to extend the Scheme governing the Charity to enable the Village Hall Management Committee to spend monies raised in the future, in excess of that required to maintain and develop the Village Hall, on activities of wider benefit to the community.

The Charity was originally established to established to ring-fence the funds raised for the benefit of the village hall only.

At present the trust document restricts how monies raised can be spent. This will require a change to the Charity Commission Objectives and will require the agreement of a majority of the residents.

Please come along to hear how the proposed changes could work.

HAVE YOUR SAY.

It is important that residents are fully informed about the impact these changes could have.

Bryan Spooner, Chairman, Wing Parish Council and Sally Cox, Chairman Wing Village Hall Management Committee, will lead the discussion.

All are Welcome and Encouraged to attend.
