Update from Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP

Too often, decisions made in Westminster are shaped by the needs of towns and cities, and don’t always reflect the reality of living in places like Kirton and Falkenham,…

Utilities Not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 gas leaks in the village! That must be a record in 3 weeks. Apparently the village gas main was put in in 1935. The first was outside the White Horse, the second was an emergency in Falkenham Road by the village green. This caused chaos whilst…
