Unveiling of Sired Way

To celebrate 47 years of public service John Sired, who retired from the council last year had a road located in Kilnwood Vale named after him. This honour is throughly deserved. Not only has John been a Parish Councillor, he is also still a Church Warden and was the caretaker for Colgate Village Hall for many years. Congratulations John.
