Parking

With increasing volumes of traffic through the village it is vital that pavements and paths are kept clear, and pedestrians not forced to walk in the road. 
Concerns have been raised at the March Parish Council about vehicles being parked inconsiderately. In one location vehicles are forced over the centre white line when passing the vehicle.
Vehicles parked near to the crossroads create blind spots for drivers, as it's impossible to see if a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction.
The Parish Council appreciate that parking is difficult, but appeals to everyone to consider whether their parked vehicle creates an unnecessary hazard.  Please check that your vehicle is parked as safely as possible and that you've checked if another location may be safer for everyone.

Musica Charity Choir MK Concert

Once again many thanks to everyone concerned for making this a terrific success. The concert held on Saturday 2nd March in Cosgrove Village Hall was well supported and a good time was had by all. 
Musica Charity Choir MK entertained us wonderfully and a light supper was provided half way.  Many thanks go to those who provided the supper, donated prizes to the Raffle, ran the Raffle and provided the Bar.  Also a big thanks to the two helping to park so many vehicles, and those who kindly help set up and tidy away  afterwards, all of which helped to make a great evening.

The proceeds of the evening amounting to £1,925.00 are going towards the much needed repairs and maintenance to our lovely village church here in Cosgrove.

Lent Lunch

Many thanks for all those who attended the Lent Lunch held in Cosgrove Village Hall on 21st February.  We are pleased to say that we raised £350.00 for Willen Hospice.  Always a good cause, at least three of the Lent Lunches held in the Benefice this year are raising money for Willen Hospice, and hopefully our contribution can help if only in a small way.
