The following statement has been issued by North East Lincs Council regarding the suggested use of the airfield in Holton Le Clay as a fixed stopover site for gypsy travelers:
A North East Lincolnshire Council spokesperson said:

The process for allocating land to be a potential designated stop-over site is understandably quite complex.
In order to understand whether a site is suitable or not for this purpose, we have to undergo a technical consultation, whether or not that site is in or out of North East Lincolnshire.
In this case, the site is outside the borough. No decisions of any kind have been made.

If anyone would like to give their opinions on this please contact NELC by email on:
consultation@nelincs.gov.uk
Technical Consultation ends next Tuesday

It is with regret at the Parish Council meeting on 2nd October the Council accepted the formal resignation of the long serving Clerk. Lesley has been working for the Parish Council for over 11 years and we wish her all the best for the future.

The Parish Office will be closed to the public whilst intensive training and handover takes place with the Locum Clerk who has stepped in to assist at this time.

Should you wish to report matters such as highway issues including potholes, street lighting, parking matters, drainage, grass verge cutting please ring North East Lincolnshire Council on 01472 313131 or report on line at www.nelincs.gov.uk or speak to your Ward Councillors Philip Jackson and Nick Pettigrew.

For the arrangements of funerals at Waltham Cemetery or issues relating to Parish assets telephone 01472 826233 and please leave a message, which will be attended to as soon as possible.

With many attractive shops and eating establishments and an ever growing village Waltham has become a popular place to live, shop, eat out and work.

Waltham Parish Council is aware that parking within the two primary car parks (Kirkgate and High Street) in Waltham is at a premium with cars usually waiting for spaces to become available and this has a knock on effect for the residential streets surrounding the centre of the village.

The High Street (or Co-op) car park is privately owned, whilst the Kirkgate car park is owned by North East Lincolnshire Council. There are short term 30 minute spaces as you enter Kirkgate car park for the use of people wishing to nip into the shops and further long term free parking all day in the rest of the area. The High Street car park – also a free car park has no time restrictions.

Waltham Parish Council is seeking the views of its residents and visitors on their experiences of parking in the centre of the village and how you suggest it could be improved. Whilst we have no authority to change the current arrangements, we are always willing to assist our residents and put forward suggestions made to the relevant parties that could make a difference for everyone.

If you would like to get in touch regarding parking in the village please email to:

Walthampc@btconnect.com or fill in the “contact us” section on our website or for those without email facilities please write to: Waltham Parish Council, Parish Office, Kirkgate, Waltham, Grimsby DN37 0LS.
