HOTON REMEMBERS
Albert Eggleston, aged 24: died in hospital 10 October 1916
George Marriott, aged 24: killed in action 21 March 2018
Remembrance Poppies are being displayed on the lampposts in the village to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. The parish council has made a donation to the Royal British Legion to acquire these poppies for the village to mark this historic occasion and to remember all those who died whilst serving their country.
Thank you to the Gane family for organising, collecting and installing the poppies on behalf of Hoton Parish Council

Hoton Parish Council News - November 2018
Village Hall
The village hall will become extra warm and cosy for the festive season following the purchase by your parish council of new curtains for the windows and doors. The curtains have blackout linings which will be of benefit when films and sporting fixtures are shown in the summer months. Hoton Parish Council has also made a donation to Hoton Village Hall for the purchase of a Christmas tree to enhance the street scene and add sparkle to the village over the Christmas period. More »
Pavement parking
There have been a number of incidents of vehicles parking on the pavements in and around the village. This inconsiderate behaviour is causing difficulty for some residents, particularly vulnerable pedestrians and those with pushchairs. It is also restricting the visibility for some drivers. Although it is not an offence to park on the pavement, it is an offence to obstruct the pavement and this is generally classed as parking so as to prevent a double buggy passing (1.2m). Generally, if there are parking restrictions in place, such as double yellow lines or signs indicating any restrictions, then Charnwood's street wardens will investigate, these cases can be reported to Charnwood Borough Council. If there are no restrictions in place then it is a police matter. These cases should be reported directly to the police either by phoning 101 or emailing https://leics.police.uk/local-policing/charnwood-north/team
Burial Ground
The parish council has resolved to renew the agreement with the Prestwold-cum-Hoton, Burton on the Wolds and Cotes Parochial Church Council (PCC) to administer the general maintenance of the burial ground at Hoton, assisted by a contribution from the PCC. The parish council believes that although it is not responsible for the upkeep of this area, the 'minimum standards' approach that is taken by the PCC, necessitated by its budgetary restrictions, falls short of the way Hoton Parish Council wishes to enhance the aesthetics of the village, as set out in its strategic plan. By using council resources and combining the maintenance of the burial ground with its existing maintenance expenditures at the playing field and the additional 'top-ups' of highway responsibilities, the council hopes to make efficiency savings and maintain a burial ground that is a better reflection of the way the village wishes to respect its former inhabitants.
A burial ground working party, chaired by Parish Council vice-chairman Stuart Isbister and including members of the public and the PCC, oversees the maintenance and makes recommendations to the PC. The working party welcomes any constructive suggestions from villagers regarding the burial ground and is also considering volunteer 'action days' to tackle some of the issues beyond the scope of the agreement. Please contact the parish clerk or Stuart if you are willing to be involved.
