Thank you Litter Pickers!

A  Great Big Thank You to everyone who turned out on Saturday morning to pick up all the litter and to the Bailey Family who tidied up the war memorial.

Your time and efforts are very much appreciated by all.

Thanks also to Sarah Whalley-Hoggins, our District Councillor, for arranging the loan of equipment from Stratford District Council.

What an impressive load of rubbish – anyone missing a traffic cone?!
