The Parish Council has undertaken to install 24 Parish Signs with the first one in Cockden recently being unveiled. The signs are in memory of a Local Councillor Michael Holsgrove who started the project but past away prior to its completion.
The Parish can only fund  the installation of 2 signs each year and will be approaching local businesses for possible sponsorship of signs. A friend and colleague of Micheal's has agreed to sponsor a sign as have the Briercliffe Society. To date 3 signs have been installed, the one below Cockden, the Bowling Green and the Turning Circle. None of these signs have been sponsored and by sponsoring an existing sign an additional sign can be provide. This list below will be updated as signs become sponsored, so get in quick and don't miss out on the sign for your area. Sponsorship will be on a 'first come' basis. If you would like to sponsor a sign, either individually or as a group of residents contrubuting say £10 each, and have a plaque with your name on the sign,  please contact Councillor Joan Royle, a Parish Councillor or the Parish  Clerk. Sponsorship will be £100 per sign, which funds the  installation, as the signs themselves have been donated by Aircelle.
