The Parish Council are undertaking replacement of the benches around the Tankersley and Pilley area. This will be completed in order of popularity/use.
As residents of Tankersley and Pilley we would like you, the community, to vote as to which benches are priority. Please do so by emailing clerk@tankersleypc.org with the location of the bench you are voting for replacement.
In total we have 25 benches, replacement of each bench costs the Parish Council in excess of £1,000. For the time being we are aiming to replace the top 6, as voted by yourselves.
In addition, if anyone residing within the parish wishes to support this project by part-sponsoring a bench (minimum sponsorship is £100) please email the clerk at clerk@tankersleypc.org. With sponsorship you will be able to attach a plaque to your sponsored bench.
The Parish Council owns a Speed Indicator Device which has been deployed at various locations in the village to monitor the speed of vehicles passing the machine. The device has currently been deployed on New Road in Tankersley and the following data has been obtained from the device:
More than half the motorists exceeded the 30 mph limit of the road.
The highest speed noted was 62 mph at 3pm.
There were 8 vehicles travelling between 50 and 55 mph, with 5 of these at 5pm.
The Parish Council is concerned about the speeding issue in the village. The Parish Council will continue to monitor the speed of vehicles and will discuss what action can be taken to deter drivers from breaking the speed limit on roads in Tankersley.
Please note, the Annual Parish Meeting that was scheduled to take place virtually on Monday 26th April has had to be cancelled. A further date for the meeting will be agreed in the near future and details will be published on the website. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

The Spring 2020 Newsletter was distributed throughout the Parish in February. Copies of the newsletter can be requested from the Clerk.
The Parish Council supports all local projects that aim to maintain the features of the Parish, and one of these groups is TPEG.
David Shearn, member of TPEG asked to share some information regarding the group;
“The group was formed in 2004 by a number of people in the Parish who were concerned to maintain and improve the environment of the two villages. Among the more visible results of our work are the two village stones and the wonderful display of bulbs – daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops – that appear each spring in the Parish. Less obvious, but just as important, is the work we do in woodlands, clearing away saplings, and strimming near the edges of paths to keep them open for walkers.
We also do litter picking on some of the roads on the outskirts of the village.
Our funding comes from a number of sources, including the Parish Council.
To find out more of what we do, and how you might be able to contribute with ideas or a little of your time, do visit the TPEG website via the following link;”

The Parish Council has taken the decision to cancel the annual Children’s Christmas Party this year (2020) because of Covid-19. The Parish Council are disappointed that it has had to make this decision but it wants to make sure its residents keep safe and well.
The Parish Council are looking to invest the money it has saved by not holding a Christmas Party and the Bonfire this year into other activities next year including putting up hanging baskets in the village next Spring.
