Parish Council vacancy
A vacancy has arisen on the Parish Council and, as no one has requested a by-election, the members of the Parish Council can co-opt someone. Ideally they would like to select a person at the July meeting with a view to that person joining the Parish Council in September (there is no meeting in August). If you are interested and would like further details, then please contact either myself, Sheila Caws (Parish Clerk) or our Chairman, Cllr Malcolm Hector or click on the link for the notice below.

Centenary of the end of World War I
In order to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War I, the Parish Council held a Service of Remembrance on Oak Tree Green at 3pm on Sunday, November 11th 2018. This was followed by the blessing of a new commemorative bench on the Lower Green.

FISHBOURNE JUBILEE FUND
Following the appeal for funds the organisers would like to thank the local businesses, residents and party-goers for their generosity which has resulted in the cost of the new seat being met in full and also provided for two £500 donations to charity.
The Fund is to remain open and will be used in the future for similar events.
