Remembrance Day Poppies
The ‘Poppy Squad’ - a small group of local volunteers, have
once again supported Poynton Town Council staff in putting
up Poynton’s poppies. The poppies were provided by Men in
Sheds a couple of years ago and continue to provide a sign
of respect to our fallen heroes.
Men in Sheds also created ‘John Henry’, Poynton’s lifesize
silhouette solider, which you see in the Civic Hall reception,
from where you can also get a Poppy Appeal poppy.
New parking enforcement at Waitrose
Poynton Town Council have been informed that Waitrose plan to commence parking
enforcement from today, in the short stay area of the Waitrose car park. Motorists are likely to
be ticketed if they stay over 2 hours or return within 2 hours. Poynton Town Council do not own
the car park and are currently investigating the development. Please direct any enquiries to
Waitrose.

Utilities. As soon as Poynton Town Council receive more information, it will be made available to
residents.
