Our next Full Parish Council meeting will be held on Monday 8th September at 8pm in the village hall. Please note that we do not hold meetings in the month of August.
Parish Councillor Resignation and Vacancy Notice
The Parish Council wishes to announce that Cllr Richard Tyson-Davies has formally resigned from their role as Parish Councillor. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Richard for his dedicated service and valuable contributions to the community over the past 10 years. Richard’s commitment, time, and efforts have been greatly appreciated by fellow councillors and residents alike. As a result of this resignation, there is now a vacancy for a Parish Councillor. If you are interested in making a difference in your local community please contact the Clerk by email: clerk@newdigateparishcouncil.gov.uk
Village Litter Pick
Save the date! Phill Crutcher is organising a litter pick morning on Saturday 6th September at 11am. All welcome and equipment will be provided. Meet in the village hall car park.
Bonfires
Please consider your neighbours and be considerate of others when burning garden waste, avoiding wherever possible fine sunny days at weekends when neighbours are more likely to be enjoying their own gardens. If you must burn garden waste, ensure you check for any wildlife taking refuge. Remember you must not burn household rubbish. For more information visit www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules.
Rights of Way/Footpaths
Surrey has almost 3482 kilometres (2164 miles) of footpaths bridleways, and byways. Surrey County Council are responsible for the management and maintenance of this network, and for the Definitive Map that is a legal record of the position and status of Rights of Way. You can view which paths will be cut when you log into report a fault and look at our reporting map. A path that is due to be cut will be indicated by yellow triangles along the length of that path. Please ensure that the location is accurately plotted on the map, and provide as much information as possible.

We do ask that properties do try to keep their hedges trimmed back when they become overgrown and impede on the narrow footpaths through the village.
