Little Paxton News by Email
Do you live or work in Little Paxton? Are you on email?
Many of the works, activities, events and issues in Little Paxton pass through Little Paxton Parish Council, which is the most local tier of government. The council communicates through the parish noticeboards, its website and Council meetings, and will continue to do so.
Email offers a no-cost way to reach more people more easily, and can deliver information directly to you. The Parish Council is therefore starting a ‘News Service’ by email. The email updates will briefly notify you about, for example, works planned in the village, events, police updates, and notable future activities.
Why bother? When roadworks are scheduled we can alert you (if we’ve been warned!). When a public meeting is being held on a major planning decision, we can let you know. When a village event is happening, we can remind you about it.
If you use email and are interested in signing up for Little Paxton email updates then simply send an email to:
littlepaxton@hotmail.com
Welcome/Information Leaflet
The Council has revised its Welcome/Information leaflet. The leaflet has information about all village groups and organisations,with contact numbers along with details of shops and other services.
