The parish council provides and maintains the bus shelters on and opposite Potten End Village Green.  The one opposite the green is on land owned by the Village Hall and leased to the parish.  The 25 year lease is due to expire next year and at its meeting on 20th October the parish council agreed (Minute 7.2) to instruct its solicitors to draw up a new lease and to pay an increased annual rent.

Our parish history page has recently been updated to include information provided by Councillor Stephanie Bramham and gained from maps dating from 1766.  It relates specifically to the origins of Horseshoe and Marsons (not called Martins then!) Ponds.  You can find a copy of one of the maps here.

The Parish Council will be holding an Extraordinary Meeting at 7pm on Wednesday 13th May to agree which football clubs should be allowed to play on the sports ground in the 2020/21 season.
