Cottingham Parish Council has produced its first village Welcome Pack, which has been specially designed for people who have just moved into Cottingham.

The 13-page pack aims to give new residents a flavour of the village, with sections on village history, village life and shopping in the area, along with a whole host of useful contact numbers.

If you’re in the completion stages of selling your house and you’d like to leave a pack for the new occupants, call Cottingham Parish Council Chairman Pete Bowman on 770821 and he’ll put one together for you. Or if you know that somebody has just moved in near you, give Pete a call and he’ll drop a pack round.

You can take a look at the pack here. If there’s anything else you think should go in the pack to help new villagers get into the swing of things, drop Pete a line at pete.bowman@cottingham.org.uk .

As a lot of the information is common to both of our villages, we’re currently working with Middleton Parish Council to produce a similar Welcome Pack for them, which we hope will be available shortly.
