General
Snakemoor has continued to present an area of peace and tranquillity and thanks go to Robyn Thorogood and his extensive and efficient team.
There were 2 litter picks in the year and altogether over 50 volunteers helped clear the village streets.
Plans are in place for a Village Audit when volunteers will check the village for correctable defects.
There have been 2 open Parish Office sessions on Saturday mornings.
We have installed a village sign paid for with funds from the Millennium Committee, to whom we offer our thanks.
Haddenham and District Rotary Club has provided three seats in the Playing Field.
