Good news! Live theatre is returning to Warton Village Hall!  WDG’s next production will be held in the Village Hall from May 29th to June 1st, a dramatic modern re-telling of a Greek tragedy, ‘Antigone’.  We need volunteers!  We are looking for 2 young men to play the role of Guards, with not a lot of lines to learn.   We also need helpers backstage, particularly to help create the dramatic theatre setting in the Village Hall, which is always one of the attractions of seeing a play there.  Do come forward to help.  The Drama Group has an excellent reputation and has been providing quality drama in the village for over 50 years, so let’s be sure it won’t die out!

 Please contact Tony Parsons on 07900184601 if you’d like to help or act.

Village residents will be pleased to hear that the Parish Council have now raised the issue of speeding vehicles and reckless driving through the village with the Area Traffic Management Officer, Police  Headquarters Operations and the person who recently instigated traffic speed monitoring procedures in the village.  As a result of that monitoring it has been confirmed that there is a problem with speeding traffic through the village. The local Neighbourhood Policing Team have now been formally tasked to undertake formal speed enforcement action. No date for such action has yet been decided, as this will be dependent on competing demands as well as resources availability. Hopefully, irresponsible drivers will now be identified and appropriate action taken to deter future problems. The Parish Council in the meantime will be monitoring the situation closely.

 

 

New members welcome at all groups!
