Email of thanks received from Rob Parry:-
I am writing on behalf of myself and my brothers Jonny and James , we would like to send our gratitude and a kind thank you to the people of Middle Rasen parish for their kind gesture putting forward to the parish council the idea of naming the bridge on low church road ‘Parry’s Bridge’ in tribute to our mother and father and our family being a part of Middle Rasen, also the fact the bridge has been known as that from it being a meeting place for local children to play and a starting point for the new year duck race for decades.
Middle Rasen will always be my home no matter where I am living, and I look forward to continuing helping keep the village looking it’s best with my grounds work for the parish council.
My brothers and I would also like to say a massive thank you to the parish council itself for granting this proposition to go ahead and spending time going through all the formal procedures required for it to be done.
Last but certainly not least a huge thanks goes to Andrew Gibson for supplying, expertly getting the sign made and securing it in place hopefully to be seen for years to come.
Please pass on our message and once again a big thank you for this lovely gesture.
