Berrow
Parish Council gives local groups a financial boost
 Two
groups were handed financial boosts by Berrow Parish Council on
Tuesday evening (May 19th).
The
council's chairwoman, Jenny Bentley, handed over £500 to
Berrow Primary School and a further £50 to local police
officers towards their Horse Watch scheme.

Hector of Berrow Primary School is pictured right receiving the
cheque from Jenny. The money will be used to help fund the school's
crossing patrol.
A
further cheque of £50 was presented to Beat Officer Andy
Beake and Beat Sergeant Steve Lawrence on behalf of Avon and Somerset
Police Constabulary, as pictured at the top of this page.
The
Horse Watch scheme has been set up to prevent, reduce and detect
equine related crime in the county.
The
council makes the grant donations every year at this time when
it holds its annual general meeting.
