Village Clean Up Day: Don't forget this tomorrow, March 6. If it is awful weather, no-one is expected to be out grass cutting, sweeping pavements or litter picking. We will still be cleaning inside Church (and Chapel if we are needed) but will do the other jobs on the first decent Saturday morning. Do phone me if you are unsure of times/places etc. Refreshments will be provided at 11am in Church. (We may get our picture in the paper too so the more the merrier!)
Parish Council: Our councillors were delighted with the response at the recent meeting to show the proposed traffic calming methods.
