The Village Volunteers
Originally conceived by the Parish Council, the Village Volunteers is a small group of residents with an interest in keeping our village looking attractive throughout the year. Members of the group mainly spend time maintaining the flower beds within the village centre and clearing up areas which have become untidy.
The Volunteers planted and now maintain the plant border alongside the Wine Bar car park, and those around the village precinct and in Sutton Oaks. They also organise the Christmas Lights display in the village centre with help from various other groups.
The Volunteers meet on one Sunday each month throughout the year and on one Tuesday evening each month during the summer months (Apr - Sep).
Our most recent meeting programme is shown below.
