Welcome to Fairford Town Council
|
|
 This is the official website of Fairford Town Council which has been designed and constructed to provide what we hope will be a valuable resource of information to all residents of the town and a vehicle to find out more about what is happening within the Council and the wider Fairford community. We wish for the site to be as proactive as possible and to be a two way channel of advice assistance and information between its residents and the Town Council. This will be achieved by involving local people more in what is happening in the town and improving communication.

Public Consultation on Parking in High Street & Market PlaceThis consultation is regarding the eastern side (i.e. the side containing the shops) of the High Street & Market Place only. There are no plans to change the unrestricted parking on the western side of the High Street (Church side) and central Market Place. At the present time, parking in the centre of Fairford consists of unrestricted parking (ie no time limit) on the western side of the High Street and Market Place and restricted parking for one hour on the eastern side. The one hour parking restriction cannot currently be enforced due to a change in regulations for signage. During discussion regarding the fixing of the correct signage, concern was raised as to whether the one hour restriction was still the best solution to control parking in Fairford town centre. Fairford Town Council has discussed the situation with Gloucestershire Highways and Gloucestershire County Council and would now like the views of the public. These views will be reported to the County Council, who would have to carry out their own formal consultation before introducing any changes.

Council Worker of the Year 2010
Fairford Town Council nominated Albert Alder for the National Council Worker of the Year competition. Albert has worked for the Town Council for over 20 years carrying out maintenance duties such as litter picking, watering plants and keeping the Churchyard and Burial Ground in good order. His dedication to the job and his popularity within the community, meant the Town Council wanted to acknowledge the input he has made to the town.
Albert was shortlisted down to the final three in the country, and went to London on 13 May with his wife Brenda for the Awards ceremony. We are very pleased to announce that Albert won first prize. Well Done Albert and very well deserved.

League of Friends of Fairford Hospital
(Registered Charity No: 1006416)
People living in Fairford, Lechlade and Kempsford and surrounding villages have contributed more than £17,000 to health care in the area. The money was collected by the League of Friends of Fairford Hospital in its annual house-to-house appeal. In addition, another £2,325 was contributed by way of standing orders.
“We are really most grateful to everyone who helped in raising this excellent sum,” said League chairman David Phillips. As a practical acknowledgement of the League’s thanks, helpers are being invited to a social evening at Fairford Community Centre on Wednesday, June 16.
Increasingly in recent years, the League has been turning its support to work in the community not addressed by the NHS, with such services as home nursing, physiotherapy, transport, counselling and terminal and respite care. “If we’re going to carry on with this important work, the need for funds remains crucial,” said Mr Phillips. “We are looking for new ways to support our work all the time.” The League’s first Open Gardens event in Hatherop, pioneered by Ros and Fraser Hart and their neighbours, raised nearly £1,500.
