The recent Parish Council meeting in December discussed the increasing problem of litter within the village environs. It had been suggested that litter picking be organised, however, Councillors were concerned that it would be unsafe to collect litter as an organised group, particularly along the A32. It was concluded that the safest way would be to encourage villagers to collect litter during their normal walking around the village.

The Parish Council would like to thank those villagers who have been active in collecting litter over recent weeks. This public spirited behaviour has made a notable difference within and around the village and we hope it will continue over coming months.
