Grenfell News Highlights Local Council Actions and Events
Grenfell reports a councillor conference proposing stricter impounding rules and seven day pound retention while urging fencing and enforcement against trespassing stock. Electors narrowly rejected a £6000 borrowing for municipal projects. A busy week included Old English Fair for the Bush Nursing Association, a Great War memorial ceremony, a children's concert, and a rain boost to crops. Local groups hosted charity events, a hospital drive raised funds, and plans emerged for cricket and coursing clubs plus a potential revival of Grenfell’s cricket team.
