Remember, Remember,  5th November 2011 - village under attack prior to Bonfire Night
Several houses in the village were targeted by vandals in the early hours of Saturday 5th November 2011, around 2:30am. On Measham Road, several rocks and bottles were thrown through the ground-floor bedroom window of a young boy who was asleep at the time; glass from the broken window landed on him. Elsewhere, eggs were thrown at a couple of village houses. There was an attempt to burn down the marquee on the village playing field, set up ready for the Saturday night's Bonfire Party. Only part of the marquee was damaged - the evening went ahead as planned.	Those responsible fled on foot - they may be locals, probably young boys. Fingerprints and saliva samples have been taken from the various items thrown through the window, and the police are working closely with residents. Can YOU help find the miscreants? Do you have any information that could help?     Crimestoppers is FREE and anonymous, call 0800 555 111. More details: click here for the police incident report page.

Village votes OVERWHELMINGLY to keep your Packington Post - full details here in our news article

The results of the Parish Council survey into village attitudes to the Packington Post magazine were made public on Tuesday 13th April 2010 at the meeting of the Packington Parish Council, and again to the Public Meeting on Tuesday 27th April. Councillors and the public were shown the responses to the survey conducted in the village and on the web during March.  Of 311 village residences, 126 households completed the survey either on paper or on the Parish Council's website, a return of over 40%. Of those responding, an OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of 110 agreed or strongly agreed (blue and red in the above pie chart) that the Parish Council should keep on supporting the Packington Post - while only 9 disagreed (purple and cyan). The June edition of the Packington Post has been delivered! Next edition - 3rd week in August 2010
