Are you fed up with the dog fouling problem in Mundford, if so would you like to help the Council to try and stop this happening?

The Parish Council are looking for  volunteers – dog owners preferred but not essential – who would be prepared to act as volunteer dog wardens in the village,  there are no set hours, you could do one hour a month or more. You will not be required to confront the dog owners that allow their dogs to foul our pavements.

For more information please contact your Clerk Pauline.

Are you looking for something to do on a Wednesday and Sunday morning. We are a small group who maintain the Arboretum. We meet 6 mornings a month between 9 am and 12 noon. Have a break for a coffee and biscuits (very important) at 10.30 am in the Lodge. And enjoy a sociable time. The Arboretum is a lovely area to work in, we do a bit of mowing, pruning, tree and shrub planting, bracken and nettle control.

On a cold day in early April we had a hardy bunch of volunteers show up to help with the litter picking throughout the village and surrounding roads leading into Mundford , it was a grey drizzly day but this did not deter our team. So thank you again to all who showed up on that day it is very much appreciated by the Parish Councillors and Mundford residents.

We meet approximately every 6 weeks so if you have an hour or so to spare and would like to join our team please contact the clerk.

Please note that Norfolk County Council has informed the Parish Council that it is illegal to sell cars from a public highway, this includes laybys and turning areas in the village. The County Council has asked the Parish Council to contact those that are selling cars to stop this immediately.

The annual parish meeting was held on 7th April and you can read a summary of the year from the chairman and clerk here or from a link on the meetings page along with all the meeting minutes.
