Perhaps everyone in the village knows this but I noticed it this week. There are 2 post boxes in the village and the collection time for the one next to the bus shelter on Morcott Road is 9am and the one at #6 Top Street is 4pm.

If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!

As most of my friends and family live, eat and breath Facebook I’ve started a Facebook group Wing Community Group  so that news about Wing becomes part of your life too. “Web sites are so yesterday” a social media expert of my acquaintance said to me at the weekend. So hence this new group.  It is a Closed group – as with the village we don’t want just anyone expressing their opinion – so just send a message to me, John Oakley, using any means at your disposal and I’ll add you to the group.

Once you are a member you can add others.

And then if you have a concern, such as speed though the village, incontinent dogs ( or owners), state of roads or pathways etc. you can voice your opinion – or an idea; there is a lively discussion going on about putting on a panto –  and hopefully discuss it with fellow residents and/or friends.

Let’s get back to the communications we had when Sheila Casey had the Post Office.

Other social media channels will be considered.
