Telephone Box Competition
The Parish Council judged a competition to design a stained glass window for a pane in the tele-phone box library to commemorate the time when Hatton has been in Lockdown for the Corona Virus. There were 11 excellent entries and choosing a winner was a difficult task but congratulations go to the Lett family whose winning entry below will now be transformed into stained glass.
HATTON’S BEEN BUSY!
We have done the National 2.6 challenge raising over £300 for Warrington Food bank.

Coronavirus
In the current circumstances we find ourselves in, please find time to consider your neighbours. If they are self-isolating, please try to phone them to see if they need anything – shopping, collecting a prescription or just a chat.
Please be mindful of the more vulnerable or at risk members of the community. If you haven’t seen them for a while or if there are any changes to routine, please make an effort to get in touch with them. True community spirit really comes to the fore in situations such as this.
SHRUB BEDS IN CENTRE OF THE VILLAGE
Although clearly delayed by the current COVID-19 situation, the Parish Council is planning to refurbish and replenish the shrub beds in the centre of the village. The current shrubs have lost shape and have grown together losing their definition.
The plan is to have all the shrubs dug out, the beds redefined and new shrubs planted. Obviously, this is a big job and once started the area will probably look a bit stark for a while until the replanting has been completed.
Proposed development at New Hall Farm Hatton
As you may be aware two presentations on the above arranged by the Parish Council have recently taken place and a copy of the slides can be found below:
