Over 175 Christmas trees recycled
Thanks to everyone who brought their Christmas tree for recycling on Sunday.
Over 175 trees were shredded. They’ll be used to create a path on Hagg Copse and for biofuel.
Money raised from your generous contributions will help provide planters for the precinct, trees and go towards paying for a new bench.
On behalf of all who have and will benefit from their kindness, a big big thank you to Andrew (Complete Tree Solutions) and to Paul at (Direct Travel) for the use of the car park. Please reciprocate their kindness by supporting these local services.

Carver Fields under threat?
It’s our understanding that a decision has been taken to sell the Carver fields on Hagg Lane.
These fields have provided a healthy recreational facility for everyone for many years. If this proves to be the case, and the fields become a building site, this would be a significant loss to the community and to our heritage.
We’ll let you know if we hear more on this.
How to request sandbags if you’ve been flooded

Please help keep Clough Field free of dog mess
This is a heartfelt reminder to dog walkers, who use Clough Field and other open spaces used by local children.
Please remember, in the interest of our children’s health, to clear up your dog’s mess by placing it safely into a biodegradable bag, and putting it into a special dog litter bin. If you cannot find a dog bin, then double wrap the dog bag and place it in a normal litter bin. Having no bags is not an excuse for failing to protect our children’s health and wellbeing.
Dog mess is a public nuisance, an eyesore and a threat to health. If you take a dog out (on or off the lead), (with the exception of being registered blind), you have a legal duty to clean up every time your dog messes in a public place, even if you are not the owner. If your dog goes out on its own and makes a mess, you’re still responsible – ignorance is not an excuse.
Thank you for your cooperation.
