90th Annual Summer Show

The Show will be opened by Mr Mike Ashton (Blood Bikes Courier) at the Community Centre on Saturday 11th August 2018 from 2.00pm to 4.15pm.  Entry to Show £1.  Refreshments available.

This latest update from United Utilities comes with some welcome good news.

The work United Utilities have been doing to conserve water supplies and abstract water from other sources combined with the help from customers in reducing their own usage as well as the recent rainfall and slightly cooler temperatures means they are now in a position to call off the hosepipe ban planned for this weekend.  This decision has been taken in the context of the improved position in water resources and not wanting to inconvenience customers for a moment longer than is necessary. However, the long range forecast from the Met Office is one of relatively dry weather into the autumn, so future restrictions are still a possibility if more rain doesn’t arrive and if we see a significant increase in demand.
