The event took place on Saturday 4th March from 9am – noon. The 86 visitors that attended saw exhibits from the WI, St Sampson’s Church, South Hill Piecemakers, SHARE, Justin from the NHS demonstrating the defibrillator and South Hill Village Hall. The main attraction however, was a display of the Neighbourhood Development Plan alongside Councillors talking about the plan and our ambitions for footpaths in the Parish. The visitors were from all areas of the Parish including Golberdon, Maders, Berrio, Mornick, Trewoodloe, Trewassick, Lansugle, Egypt, Trevigro, South Hill, Bray Shop, Jericho, and Manaton.

Neighbourhood Development Plan – update
The South Hill Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) has now been returned after being reviewed by an independent examiner. The comments that we received were very positive and there were no major changes to make to the policies.
The NDP team are now organising an event for March 4th 2017 at the Parish Hall. This will be a Free Big Breakfast starting at 9am for all residents. The final draft version of the Plan will be available to be viewed and the team will be there to answer any questions that you may have.
You can read the background to the NDP provided by the Parish Council on their website…

Life On The Farm
by Claire Pethick (M H Pethick Contractors, South Hill)
Well, what a busy time of year this is. All different types of agricultural activities happening; crop preparation, harvesting. As many are aware, the type of work which is to be carried out is solely dependent on the season and the weather. I am writing this article to explain what agricultural goings-on are happening here at Church Park, when, and why.

Lamb Marrakesh, New Zealand Style
Don’t be tempted to leave out the garnish of toasted almonds on this spicy lamb stew. The crunchy nuts make a great contrast to meat and sauce.
