Warcop Post Office & Foyer Café

See the source image

The Post Office session is on THURSDAYS 09:00 – 11:00am every week from now on, as it previously operated.

We very much hope that residents will use the Post Office service including parents, the school staff, trustees and the wider community.

We have now re-established the Foyer café alongside the Post Office sessions, thanks to a team of volunteers who have agreed to help run it.

Please try to support the Post Office because this is definitely a case of use or lose it!

In addition, we are told that the mobile butcher’s van will call in at the Parish Hall car park on a Thursday morning.

WI donates Tree for Warcop Cemetery

Warcop & Sandford WI have kindly donated a cherry blossom tree which has now been planted near to the Woodland Burial area in Warcop Cemetery. This is part of the Queen’s Jubilee green canopy initiative. The Parish Council is extremely grateful to Valerie and David Brooks, and Maureen Heron who helped with the organisation and planting. The new tree will really enhance that corner of the cemetery.

Green Waste Skip for Sandford

Following several years of requests by the Parish Council, we are pleased to report that Sandford now has received its own green waste skip. This might only be a temporary solution and we will have to see what the new Westmorland & Furness authority’s policy will be on this, or the introduction of green wheelie bins in the future.

Warcop Parish Council would like to thank William Patterson, our EDC councillor, for his support and great efforts in achieving this for Sandford.
