We will not be the first parish to be abolished (“The end is nigh for Lickey End parish”, The Village May 2010); Southsea Town Council has been abolished following a five-month review of governance of the area it covers.

May I pay tribute to Alvechurch parish councillor Syd Caddick, who has died suddenly.
