GLINTON
The Parish Council has held its Annual Parish meeting which was well attended by the public. The annual report which I gave can be reviewed on the Parish website. I am pleased to say that I was re-elected Chairman, Cllr Johnson ViceChairman. The referendum on the Village Plan was approved with an overwhelming majority, following five years’ work by volunteers. Congratulations to Saqib Farooq in winning the election to replace me, following my retirement from Peterborough City Council. You can contact Saqib on 07876 232953 or email at saqib.farooq@peterborough. gov.uk The Wildlife Recovery project is bearing fruit, several rare species have come to light, including the very lovely bee orchids.
