The Parish Council are pleased to confirm work has been completed on the installation of the first four benches as part of the village bench project (two in the conked field & two on the playing field).

Tea, Cake & Chat!

Hi everyone, further to my notes in the Scene and on the village website, I just wanted to remind you about the Post-covid coffee morning on the 7th August (10am to 12.30pm) that the Parish Council is hosting in the village hall to encourage people in the community to get out, mix and have a chat over tea & cake.
It would be great to see you there, bring a neighbour, better still bring two!
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
