STOP PRESS! Mountfield Parish Assembly 2020

Due to the current situation with COVID-19 (Corona Virus), Mountfield Heath School cannot host the Mountfield Parish Assembly this year.  We completely understand their reasons – they have vulnerable children there and school closures may be imminent.  Hopefully they can host the Assembly in 2021.
The Mountfield Parish Assembly will now be held on 14.04.20 in Mountfield Village Hall.
I and other Rother Clerks are waiting for information from Rother District Council (due next Monday) on parish council matters affected by the Corona Virus.
This website will become the conduit for local information on the virus, please encourage people to sign up for email alerts/pass the information on if you can.

Apologies – MPC Agenda for 10.03.20

Apologies to one and all – item 7 on the agenda should, of course, read Mountfield PCC not Dallington PCC.  Either yet another senior moment or the rotten cold I’ve had on and off since last November.  A corrected agenda is linked below.
