Council’s Town Services staff are busy preparing Warren to look good for the up and coming Cotton Cup Race Meeting on Sunday, 7th November 2021. Let’s hope that the Warren Jockey Club have a successful and well-attended race meeting. It might be time to dress up and look good and celebrate coming out of lockdown.
On Friday, 15th October 2021 Council’s Road Crews agreed to recommence the Extended Flexible Working Hours Agreement.
