Little Paxton Parish Council have set up an online book of condolence in remebrance of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who sadly died last week.  You can submit a message to the public online Book of Condolence by visiting their website www.littlepaxtonparishcouncil.gov.uk  Once the period of mourning has ended, the Council will print the Book and have it bound to be kept in the Little Paxton Parish Council's archive.

A letter of condolence will be issued to Buckingham Palace from the Chairman of the Parish Council and will advise that a Little Paxton Book of Condolence has been created.  If you are a resident of Little Paxton and would like to sign the Book but are unable to complete the form, please contact the Parish Council and they will endeavour to assist you.

Flowers

In accordance with public health advice, members of the public are asked to continue to follow current government covid guidelines, particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups to keep themselves and others safe.  Instead of laying flowers you may wish to make a donation to a charity of your choice, or one of the Duke of Edinburgh's patronages in memory of His Royal Highness.  A list of those supported by the Duke of Edinburgh can be found here:

NEW POST AVAILABLE AT ST JAMES CHURCH, LITTLE PAXTON

COMMUNITY SPACE CARETAKER 

£9 PER HOUR

St James Church in Little Paxton is looking to appoint a Community Space Caretaker with effect from early 2021.  Our Parish Church has become a busy space since it was adapted in 2012.  Before Covid the church was well used, being open for use most days for different groups, including Pilates and Line Dancing, with regular services at weekends.  With the current increased requirement for cleaning and the need for ongoing assistance in the management of the community space, St James Church is looking for help in this caretaker role.

For further information or if you think you might be interested in applying, please contact Nicci Jones, Benefice Administrator on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 01480 877215.
