The Parish Council has agreed to plant spring bulbs in the verges around the village. The bulbs have arrived and are now in need of planting. We are now looking for volunteers who are free Saturday and or Sunday from 10am until 1pm to assist.
Anyone wishing to help plant the bulbs, please contact the Clerk as it would be helpful to know how many are coming so that we can provide the right equipment etc. Councillors will be meeting in the old Co-Op car park on Farman Crescent prior to starting.
Great news! We are expecting the second phase of the play park renovation to get underway on Monday 19 November. This phase will see two new sets of swings installed along with new fencing and a 30m zip-wire just outside the park.
In the meantime, the Council has removed the seats from the cradle and flat swings, as these items were flagged as moderate risk in the safety inspection. As they are due to be replaced within the next month, it would not be cost effective to repair them.
