Come down to South Park this week and pick up free winter bedding plants!

Our gardeners are stripping the plants ready for summer planting and are inviting residents to take some for their gardens, yardens or community spaces.

Plants will be lifted out of the ground and left on the sides of the beds from tomorrow (Tues 12) until Tuesday 19 May (not including the weekend) from 10.30am-2pm.

Thank you to our horticulture team and dedicated volunteers for organising the donations and their continuous hard work to make our parks and green spaces look fantastic all year round.

Please share this message with keen gardeners in your community.

Councilor Teare has put up the Christmas tree lights ready for the switch on. This is a video he's taken from the top of the tree whilst he was on the cherry picker, 12.5 meters up!
The parish council will arrange for the power for the lights in time for the switch on. Thank you Councilor Teare, very brave!

We would like to inform residents that, sadly, no volunteers have come forward to organize this year’s bonfire event. However, we’re excited to share that there are some great proposals in the works for events in the coming year!

If you’d like to be part of bringing these events to life, we warmly invite residents to join the Events Committee. It's a great opportunity to get involved and help shape our village activities. Anyone interested should contact the Parish Clerk [email protected]

Please also note:
As there will be no bonfire event this year, residents are reminded not to place any rubbish on the village greens, as this may be considered fly-tipping, which is a serious offence.
