The May 2023 Town Council Election was uncontested. This means that fewer candidates stepped forward for election than there are seats on the Council. It also means that no polling will take place on 4 May this year. There will be seven Town Councillors from May 2023. There are two vacancies for co-option if any member of the community wishes to join the Council. For more information see Westmorland and Furness Council

The carols Tricia has chosen are: Jingle Bells (one verse & the Chorus) and We Wish You A Merry Christmas. If you need the words to these carols CLICK HERE The BIG little Carol Sing When – 4:30 pm Christmas Eve Where – Your Doorstep What – Like ‘Clap for Carers’ but this is Carol singing for us all. 1 ‘Jingle bells’ 2 ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ 3 Cheers! Clapping! 4 ‘Merry Christmas Everyone!’ SPREAD THE WORD & LETS SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THE WHOLE OF THE CARTMEL PENINSULA SINGING!! Following today's announcement that we are in Tier 2, the Victoria Hall can look forward to welcoming back the small groups that had been using the hall before the November Lockdown.
We will open early December, with the same restrictions as before. Hope to see you all again soon. Due to the new lockdown for November, the format for Remembrance Sunday will be as follows and not as given in Grange Now:
The poppy organisers will place the wreaths on the War Memorial first thing Sunday morning. The Mayor will read out the names of the fallen and lay one wreath on behalf of the Town Council and the people of Grange at 11am and observe the 2 minutes silence. On Wednesday 11th November, a member of the Royal British Legion will lay a wreath and observe the 2 minutes silence at 11am. The Royal British Legion Standard Bearer will be in attendance on both days. If you have your own wreath or would like to pay your own respects, please do so outside of these times. Please be respectful of others and maintain social distancing at all times. Hopefully we will be back to normal in 2021.
