The contractors have now completed installation of the railings and posts around the car park and will return in September to further improve the car park surface. Over the summer months further improvements to accessibility will include replacing the existing stile with a kissing gate and installing a new stile further along the car park.  The old bridge leading from the children’s play area onto the top corner of the field is being replaced with a new stronger bridge, together with a stoned path to lead around into Tafflands. Drainage works in the top corner near that bridge to ease the very muddy and often flooded area in the winter will also take place.

At the recent Gardens Sunday event in the village the Spread Eagle Island stall managed to raise £136 from the sale of plants grown by the volunteers. The proceeds will be used to plant a mixture of Allium, Crocus and Narcissus bulbs ready to flower next Spring. A King Charles III rose has also been purchased to be planted later this year. This still left enough to donate £25 to the Garden Sunday Church charity. Many thanks to the volunteers who maintain this area so beautifully and to their hard work in raising this money.
