BROOKVALE youth: The newly-formed local boys' football team is seeking a coach with experience.

The team currently plays in the under-13s Peter Houseman League and can be watched every alternate weekend at Sherborne Road playing fields.

Anyone who would like to assist in any way should call Roy on 07771 927944.

3Cs' MORNING: On Saturday, December 3, at 10am, the doors of the hall will be opened once more to offer friendship and refreshments to anyone who would like to stop by.

These mornings are run by volunteers of Brookvale Community Association, which is currently facing a crisis in active members.

Therefore, until its future is decided, all further community-run events will be suspended.

If you would like to find out how you might be able to contribute, contact the newly-appointed secretary, Karon, on 01256 427290.

CONSERVATION control: The borough council is intending to pursue all 174 breaches of planning control in the Brookvale conservation area.

The newly-appointed conservation officer is aware that during the vacancy of the post, conservation violations went unchecked.

The advice being given now is to file for retrospective planning permission.
