The October Parish Council Meeting heard from several residents during Open Forum about their concerns about the frequency and size of farm vehicles travelling through Elford's narrow roads during the harvest period. The Parish Council agreed to work with the farmers and Staffordshire Hghways to find a solution.

The developers of the Club site had been asked to tidy it, but were currently waiting for the Planning Department to decide on their application. 

Tree saplings from the Woodland Trust for planting at the Sportsfield would be delivered in November. The Howard School pupils would help to plant these.

A suggestion had been received that there should be an event to mark the Christmas Light switch on and the date of 12/13 December was suggested. Ideas for this are welcomed and will be discussed at the next meeting.

More details available from the Minutes of the Meeting.
