Coming in February, we look forward to welcoming you to our free community treasure hunt!

Thank you to our amazing community who joined us at Salfords Village Hall for the Christmas lights being switched on Friday the 29th of November. We were honoured to have Revd Canon Dr James Rosenthal (Father Jim) to switch on our lights. Thank you to Emma, Sarah and Neha for running the Christmas stalls and to the fantastic A2Z Flute Choir for providing the music.

We look forward to welcoming Salfords Primary School to our December coffee morning. All our sessions serve free home made cake, biscuits and tea/ coffee. We also have winter warmer essential packs to help keep you warm this winter.

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), has accredited Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council with the Quality Gold Award. for the Local Council Awards Scheme. We submitted our application in May. Receiving the Quality Gold Award is an excellent achievement showing that our local parish council achieves good practices in governance, community engagement and council improvement. Furthermore, this award shows that our council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations; we lead our community and continuously seek opportunities to improve and develop even further. We are very proud of this achievement and plan to continue to develop and work with our community to obtain the best outcomes for what is wanted in our villages.

Thanks to all residents who attended the Parish Council hosting the BBC.

The Parish Council is celebrating being in existence for 50 years this year. We have lots of exciting plans to mark this special occasion. We held a celebration fun day jointly with Salfords Social Club on Saturday 29 June. There was performances from live band 'Something Like That', BBQ, Ice cream van, candy floss stall, entertainment for all the family including fairground attractions, bouncy castle, Tug of War, China Smash, Safecracker, Tombola run by Christ the King church, Hit the hammer, and several craft stalls. All our local community groups joined in and showcased what they have to offer or ran a stall. We hosted another event in Sidlow on Sunday 30 June where families were entertained with live bands, BBQ and licensed bar, children games and the obligatory Tug of War. Thanks to all our residents and families who attended. The Parish Council has donated and planted 5 Himalayan Birch Betula Utilis Jacquemontiie trees to Salfords Social club as part of our 50th year. We have also gifted a happy to chat bench to the club. Cllr Caroline Clarke and Claire, the Clerk, attended Salfords Primary School where we provided the school with environmental gifts including bird boxes, bat boxes, bug hotels, hedgehog houses and hedgehog gateways. All the pupils received Rubix cube style gifts as the game was created in 1974. We also provided the school with a Buddy Bench which is currently in their infant area. We will be burying a time capsule so will be asking our community groups and some residents if they would like to donate something to be included to mark where we are in 2024 for someone to find in the future. We held a scarecrow competition and awarded environment gifts to the entrants. We will be gifting roads that have verges with bags of daffodil bulbs so residents can plant them in the Autumn. This would help brighten up our villages and help the local environment and biodiversity. If you would like your road to be included please get in touch
