On other council matters, submissions/surveys on the Watertank development are due by 10 May; and the Dogs and Cats in Public Places by 12 May - there's a drop-in session on Wednesday 8 May at the Ivanhoe Library 4-7pm.

Councillor Peter Castaldo (Griffin Ward) is holding a Coffee Catchup on Tuesday 7 May from 10-12 in Aniseed Cafe, so you can drop in and chat to him then.

Finally, many thanks to those who came out on a cold morning for our working bee in and around the Fairy Garden.

The next working bees will be Wednesday 29 May at Ryder Cheshire Homes, and Saturday 1 June, around the Village.
