They will of course be replaced.

Council Tax for 2021/2022
Published 11 March 2021
Parishioners will have seen from their Council Tax bill that the amount paid to Kings Bromley Parish Council has been held, and in some cases slightly reduced.
The Parish Council felt that in these difficult times an increase could not be justified.
Unlike other District, County and service spending, that of the Parish Council, apart from the Clerk’s salary, is mainly discretionary. The Parish Council tries to fund special projects from grants and donations and uses volunteer help whenever possible.

Community litter pick on Sunday 7th
Published 9 March 2021
The community litter pick on Sunday 7th was blessed with good weather.
As can be seen from the two attached photographs there was about half as much litter collected as there had been 5 weeks previously.
That is, unfortunately, a huge amount to have been chucked out of car windows in a short amount of time, although a slightly bigger area was covered this time.
We need to consider at both Parish and District (and perhaps County and National) level how to combat this un-understandable antisocial behaviour.
If anyone has any practical suggestions please get in touch with the Parish Council.
Thank you to all those who participated: District Councillors: Richard Cox, Thomas Marshall, Nick Binney, Parish Councillors: Jack Burkinshaw, Allan Howard, Parshioners: Kevin Price, Ann Hoar, Judith & Allan Berry, Anne Ashcroft, Matt Harper, Claudine & Rob Beddows, Dennis O’dea, Ron Smith, Lindsey & Colin Davies, Nicola & Keith Sullivan.
