Burstow Parish Council are looking into the feasibility of setting up a ‘Men’s Shed’ in the village. To assist with this process, we are scoping the likely interest and support this project will generate.
Men’s Shed is a national scheme that aims to promote happiness and health in men through connection, conversation and creativity. Men’s Sheds encourage people to come together to make, repair and repurpose, supporting projects in the local community, thereby improving wellbeing, reducing loneliness and combatting social isolation.
To assist in gauging interest in the project there will be two drop in sessions at the Centenary Hall on Friday 10th January between 10am - midday and on Friday 17th January 2025 between 4pm - 6pm where you can come and find out more about the project.
If you are unable to attend but would like to find out more or perhaps be interested in helping deliver the scheme, you can contact Parish Councillor Andrew Gilbert who is leading the project by emailing him, Andrew.Gilbert@Burstowparishcouncil.gov.uk 

The latest Burstow Parish Council project starts to come to fruition next week, with a rejuvenation of the playground in the Broadbridge Lane playing field.
The planning has been going on for a number of months, working with contractors on the design and build of the scheme as well as applying for grants to help pay for the equipment.
The play area will be airport themed with various items of equipment for children to play on and help fuel their imagination in their play, including an ‘aircraft’ to climb in.
The kit will be located on a safety surface which itself is airport themed and will be slightly raised from ground level to hopefully ensure that the area is useable during wet periods, as well as being fenced. Seating is also included in the scheme.
Below is a copy of the plan illustrating the equipment that will be installed.

The Full Council will be in session on the 12th November 2024 starting at 7pm sharp.

This will be prededed by the Planning Committee meeting at 6:45

Members of the public are welcome.

Games were played, refreshments enjoyed and laughter all the way!

The new flower troughs in Wheelers Lane are looking for volunteers to give them some tender love and care! Installed by SCC as part of the safety works, we are now in a position to manage them by inviting people/families/groups interested in planting them up and maintaining them, initially with a years agreement. 
If you are interested please message Jeanie, the clerk for Burstow Parish Council by email at clerk@burstowparishcouncil.gov.uk

Starting on 21.10.24 fancy a meet up with your friends somewhere warm? From 9am - 1pm weekdays through the winter the meeting room in the Centenary Hall will be open for anyone to pop in and socialise.

In an effort to help a minority of residents to remember to pick up their dog’s poo, the Parish Council have attached poo bag dispensers to a large number of poo bins in the village. The bins themselves are managed by Tandridge District Council and regularly emptied.
Each has a little note attached asking to let the clerk know by email if the dispenser runs out of bags so they can be replenished.
If the initial trial is a success, the project will be expanded to the remaining bins in the village.
Please make every effort to pick up your dog’s mess, it’s very unpleasant, particularly for children if they get it on them.

The litter picks will re-commence on Sunday 15th September 2024 and continue on the following Sundays;

27th October
17th November
15th December.

All you need to bring are your gloves, everything else provided. 

They take place between 8 and 10am meeting in the Centenary Hall. Everyone welcome.
