Lots of work has been going on recently around the community.
Three community groups came together and applied for a Climate Action Grant.



We were successful 🥳
So you might have noticed some bike shelters around the community along with water refill stations. These are a brilliant addition to our area and they will help improve numbers of both children and adults opting to travel by bike, now that they have a safe and dry area to store their bikes.
The water stations are intended to reduce single use plastic and encourage everyone to carry their own refillable water bottle.
Water stations are located at the village green, the playground, and /
This is a great example of community groups coming together and working for a shared benefical outcome for all.

Works will begin shortly to make improvements and future proof the playground for years to come.
✅ New bound rubber mulch will cover the entire central area, getting rid of any mucky spots and helping the playground to become an all weather facility & improving access for all.
✅ New bound rubber mulch will be laid under the full length of the zip-wire, again eliminating mucky areas & improving safety.
✅ The roundabout will be repaired and moved to a better location.
✅ A new climbing frame will be installed.
