The Town Council site is evolving so we would value your comments and suggestions.
If you have any ideas for future pages or would like more information on any of the services that the Town Council provides let us know using our email address or 'snail mail' address.
The site is designed to provide useful information to everyone who may have an interest in the local community of Thorne and Moorends.
In the History section we are trying to show the history of Thorne-Moorends to the visitors of this site in words and pictures. Do you have any 'old' or even new photo's of the area you can let us have a copy of to help us? If so please contact the Council and let us know.
Thorne Moorends Town Council is changing its main contact number.
If you wish to contact the Town clerk or any other of the staff.

CHANGES AT THE CEMETERY
With effect from 16th January 2012 the vehicle gates at Thorne Cemetery will be closed, and motor vehicles will be prohibited from accessing the Cemetery, except for authorised activity, and by mobility scooters.
Chair of Amenities Committee George Derx said "The Council is concerned about danger to other cemetery users created by cars on the site, as well as damaged to grassed areas and paving. The cemetery was not designed for traffic, and traffic is not compatible with families visiting their loved ones. We recognise that this change will create some inconvenience for less mobile people, and will be taking steps to improve the pedestrian accesses."
The Cemetery will remain open as normal with the pedestrian gates locked from dusk to dawn.
For additional information please contact the Town Clerk, Jeremy Sherlock on 01405 812092 (jeremy@thorne-moorends.gov.uk).
