♻️ A Quick Reminder on Garden Waste

Please do not blow or dump garden waste into roadside ditches—it clogs drainage and contributes to local flooding. If it’s safe to do so, we encourage residents to check roadside grates near their property and clear any leaves or debris. Never open the grates themselves.

🚨 Speed Watch – Volunteers Needed!

We urgently need more hands for our village Speed Watch team. Training is simple and quick. Your involvement makes a real difference in keeping our roads safer. Interested? Please fill in this form
