JUBILEE FIELD

You may have noticed we have made a start on refurbishing “School Field”. Vegetation has been cleared before the birds start nesting. Legal documents are almost complete so we can pass to the next phase, constructing a Tennis Court & Multi Use Games Court. School is finalising an agreement with the Church for a pathway through the graveyard. We hope to obtain a grant but have enough funds to finish this first phase. Anyone interested in forming a Tennis or other Games Club please get in touch.

PROJECTS from MASTER PLAN

Traffic Management -  we will be getting a refuge at the junction of Cattle Lane & Main Street so that residents, especially children, can cross to the halfway point more safely. The width of Cattle Lane at that point has made it quite dangerous with traffic speeding down the hill and turning sharply. We are looking at ways of improving other problems - like the number of cars being parked at the Football Field.

DOG FOULING

This horrible problem is, once again, on the increase. Hard hitting posters are going up around the village. Please let us have names and addresses if you can, as irresponsible owners will be pursued. The estate woodman is tired of dog faeces over the verges going into Parlington Park. People apparently even let their dogs out of cars to dash straight to the grass for a deposit!
