 Dilwyn Parish Council - NOTICE OF CASUAL VACANCY. in the office of PARISH COUNCILLOR for Dilwyn Parish.  Despite repeated appeals, no-one has yet come forward to offer assistance with the editorial work of the Dilwynner. With deep regret, therefore, we have to inform all our readers that there will be no publication in August. We apologise particularly to our advertisers, but assure all concerned that due allowance will be made by extending the period reserved and paid for. It is clear from the overwhelming support for the Dilwynner, as expressed in the recent Parish Plan Survey, that the whole community enjoys receiving the monthly magazine and we are absolutely sure that everyone wants this to continue on an uninterrupted basis. Sadly, this will not be possible, without additional help.Following the recent advertisement in the Dilwynner and the interview process, Lesley Hay has been appointed as the new parish clerk. Lesley, as most of you know, has lived most of her life in and around Dilwyn and recently moved into 14 Karen Court, Dilwyn.  School Update - May 2013 The buildings are now looking brighter as a fresh coat of paint in the school colours (blue and white) is being applied to windows and doors.Inside there are also further improvements. The juniors classroom is getting a new interactive white board (a bit like the old blackboard, but this connects to the internet and will do a whole range of amazing things!) and also some new computers - thanks to some Capital Funding. There will be Wi-Fi available throughout the school, giving internet connection for lap-top computers too.The following is a response to some of the points/suggestions made in the Plan Survey.There were several suggestions related to the network of footpaths; that they needed to be increased (especially to the east).The route to Little Dilwyn DW17 to the East has been opened up after a long period of disuse. There are two footbridges that have deteriorated badly and a work order has been placed to have one renewed along with a finger post; this will be placed so as to mark the specified route of the public rights of way (PROW) footpath.
