~ New Parish Councillor - Lee Schofield
The Parish Council welcomes a new councillor, Lee Schofield, who was co-opted at the meeting held on 9th June 2025. Lee has lived in the parish for 19 years and being passionate about our green spaces and amenities is very much looking forward to working alongside the other councillors to address the opportunities and challenges that the Parish Council faces going forward.

~ Burial Ground - badgers update
By the time the magazine goes out we will know for sure whether it is badgers or possibly foxes that are making the holes in the burial ground. The ecologist has put up cameras to record the nocturnal activity that has been taking place and we are just waiting for the results. As previously mentioned, if it is badgers then a licence will be required for the works to be carried out to keep them out of the burial ground which can only take place between July and November. I will keep you updated on progress.

~ Annual Parish Meeting
Thank you to everyone who attended the annual parish meeting held in May. For those of you who may have missed it the presentation given and minutes of the meeting are available on the Parish Council website www.fletching-pc.gov.uk.

~ VE Day 80 - Thank You
As you may have seen the beacon was lit again to commemorate the 80th anniversary for VE Day. A big thank you to the Fletching Bonfire Society members who prepared the beacon and enabled the Chairman, Richard Hannay, to light it as well as making sure it was safely extinguished later in the night. Also thank you to the choir members for their performance and to the bell ringers for starting the evening off in style. And not forgetting the Fletching branch of the British Legion who arranged for the raising of the special VE Day 80 flag that morning. We are very lucky as a parish to have such amazing community support for all the national events that take place each year.
