There will be a Full Parish Council meeting held virtually at 7pm on Monday. All members of the public are welcome to attend virtually. Please contact the parish clerk to obtain your invitation. You will be unable to join the meeting once it has begun.

Sadly due to Coronaviru­s restrictio­ns our annual Christmas Fayre and lights switch on at Church Piece is unable to be held this year. Despite this there will still be a community Christmas Tree to hopefully bring a little festive cheer in the run up to Christmas.

Once again this year residents of Charlton Kings are invited to help decorate the Community Christmas Tree. This could be a small decoration of your own design or a dedication in memory of someone special. Please make sure your decoration is not too big or heavy and where possible please use weatherpro­of materials. You will be able to hang your decoration­s on the tree from Friday December 4th.

Please follow social distancing rules when hanging your decoration. If you would like any more informatio­n, please email the office on admin@ charltonki­ngsparishc­ouncil.gov.uk
