Coxhoe Parish Council Play Group has met for the last time.

We have been trialling the Play Group from early last year following the closure of the Village Hall Play Group. Unfortunately, due to alternative provision elsewhere in the village we have not secured sufficient numbers to make the provision of the group a viable proposition. We have therefore taken the difficult decision to close the playgroup.

There is significant provision for toddlers elsewhere in the village, including:

• Little Legs baby massage and toddler centre, 21, Church Street. See Facebook or contact 07555 097598
• Playgroup at Coxhoe Club, Monday, Tuesday and Friday 9.15 am to 11.00 pm
• Hippitots which provides childcare and some funded places – email enquiries@hippitots.co.uk, and,
• Active Life Centre Little Movers 2.00 pm to 2.45 pm. This provision is dependant on funding so if interested you need to check that is on by telephoning 0191 3771789.

The approved minutes of the 4 December 2019 monthly meeting of Coxhoe Parish Council are now available online.

The draft minutes of the January Meeting will be publicised when available. The next monthly meeting of Coxhoe Parish Council will be on the 5 February 2020.
