It is with great and deep sadness that we acknowledge and the death of our monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and join the nation in mourning of her death.

Born on 21 April 1926, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor became Queen on 6 February 1952. She reigned over us for 70 years. She was the longest living and longest reigning monarch of our country and  has served her country with great courage, presence and strength.  The world is less of a place without her.

On behalf of our community, Pittington Parish Council sends its deepest sympathies to the Royal family at this time of great sorrow.

The monthly September meeting will not go ahead.

The monthly April meeting has been delayed due to the death of HRH Prince Philip, and its official period of 8 days of mourning. Any future meetings will be displayed accordingly.

The group’s aim is to attract residents who are interested in becoming involved with the project, which will see planters and established land being weeded, planted, and tended to throughout the year. Whether you are a keen gardener, a novice, or just simply want to enhance our community with some spare time you may have, please join us at our meetings to discuss ideas and share information. The first meeting is on Tuesday 13th April at 7pm via Zoom, passwords, and information on the meeting is listed under the agenda section of the website.
Come along and get involved!

**This meeting will now be held as an ordinary group gathering with volunteers and not as an official PIP Parish Council meeting due to the 8 days of mourning period following the death of HRH Prince Philip
