Parish Council |
Please note that the next meeting of Bodham Parish Council will
be held in January.
It has been a busy and productive year for the Parish Council.
Councillors have been working hard on a number of improvements
around the village, including upgrades to the village hall car
park, the installation of a new bench, cycle rack, and making
improvements to School Loke. The council has also been pleased
to support Bodham Church and continues to press Highways for
much-needed improvements to our roads.
We are delighted to now have a full complement of seven
councillors, all volunteers who give their time and energy for
the benefit of the village and wider community.
The Parish Council would like to wish all residents a very Merry
Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Remembering Services at Bodham Church |
Two services were held in Bodham Church in November in the spirit of
Remembrance. An Act of Remembrance took place on Remembrance Sunday, during
which a wreath was laid at the War Memorial outside the church by Bodham Parish
Council.
Another service of Remembering was held the following Sunday during which names
were read out and candles lit to remember loved ones who are no longer with us.
Both services were appreciated by those who attended and honoured those who we
remembered. |
