Local Government Boundary Commission update:
March 1st, 2022
Some positive news from the Local Government Boundary Commission: having considered the points raised by Langar cum Barnstone Parish Council – among others – the Commission is proposing that Langar and Barnstone should now both fall within the single Rushcliffe Borough Council ward of Neville & Langar rather than the two villages being in separate wards. Good news for the Parish Council and for both of our villages.
The detailed proposals can be studied at https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/27236, along with an opportunity to express your opinion. The Parish Council will discuss the issue at its next meeting.
These proposed boundary changes are distinct from the parliamentary constituency boundary changes which are also currently under consideration.

Questionnaire regarding crossroads between Barnstone & Langar
February 9th, 2022
Dear Langar and Barnstone Community Member,
Langar School Council, in co-operation with Lucy Paine and James Barlow, have been looking into the road safety issues that we have in the villages.
You may have passed us many of us in the morning as we walk or cycle to school. Lots of us want to travel to school like this as it is good for our health and the environment. It is also good for us to start to do this independently as we get older and prepare for secondary school.
However, lots of us worry about getting across Musters Road; the crossroads between Barnstone and Langar. We know that lots of residents and parents worry about this crossing too.
The local councillors, Neil Clarke and Tina Combellack, share our concerns about the junction and they are really keen to support finding a way to make the crossing and getting to school safer. However, to make things happen we need to collect some information, in part so that whatever might be put in place meets the needs of us all.
So, whether or not you have a school age child, we would really value your answers to a few short questions. Please either reply by e-mail (lucypaine@gmail.com) or by dropping your completed questionnaire off at Langar School where there will be a box for them.
Lucy

Signpost
February 2nd, 2022
As many of you will know, Heather Whitaker has decided to retire as Editor of Signpost after 10 years and 40 issues. The Parish Council wish to thank Heather for all the work she has put in to make the magazine the success it is today, informing and entertaining residents of happenings near and far.
The presses are waiting for the next issue and so the Parish Council is seeking a volunteer to pull future issues into shape. Although the title is that of ‘Editor’, Heather feels that ‘Formatter’ is a better description of the work involved in entering the articles and adverts into a desktop publishing program, as the sourcing of articles and advertisements, the proof-reading, and getting the final proof to the printers is handled by others.
If you feel you have experience or confidence in using a DTP program and can offer some of your time to help us, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Sharon Ellis, Parish Clerk, in the first instance
(T: 07984075016; E: langarbarnstoneclerk@gmail.com). As a special introductory offer, Heather has offered to assist the new Editor with getting to grips with the work involved.
