Red Lion – Official Opening on 29th July 2010 at 7pm

Denton Celebrates the re opening of our local pub

Although only open for business for a couple of weeks now the Red Lion has quickly established its place in our community.  Those of you who have visited already will know of the warm and friendly welcome that awaits from Ian, Pauline and the team as well as fine ales, wines and food.  The redecoration has added a decked area that overlooks the Village Green and provides an excellent vantage point to watch the world go by on a warm summer evening.

The official opening takes place this week – on Thursday actually at 7pm. The invite mentions  complimentary drink (whilst stocks last!) so get there after me please.

Denton Parish Council receives £1000 Community Grant

Rod Jones was successful in his bid for £1000 from the National Grid Employees Community Grant scheme.  Through his work as a Parish Counsellor Rod was eligible to bid for a grant which will support the development of the play area in Denton.  This is great news and means we are that much closer to achieving our target figure and starting work removing the old and damaged play equipment and replacing it with new and  appropriate  facilities. Finally our thanks go to National Grid and their decision to support Rod and awarding the grant.
