Community First Responders
WEST LEICESTERSHIRE COMMUNITY
FIRST RESPONDER GROUP
HINCKLEY DISTRICT – MARKET BOSWORTH – MEASHAM
Snarestone Parish wish to extend their thanks to the local CFR group for their service in our area over the last year. The Parish Council have approved a donation of £200 to the group, who as all CFR groups, are totally self-funded volunteers. Attached ( in documents) is their report for the year 2020. You will see from the report that they cover a wide geographic area. Luckily Snarestone had only two call outs last year but again the CFR responders were there to render qualified first aid before the Ambulance service arrived.

SNARESTONE IN BLOOM 2021
As you travel around our village we hope you will notice the preparations for this year's summer flower display are well under way. One or two of the planters are still displaying good colour from the winter planting and seem to want a little longer before the new plants are put in. Thanks to the stalwarts who have again volunteered to plant the beds this year we hope we will have a splendid summer showing.
