Flower Troughs

The summer is sadly coming to an end but the village still remains full of colour with the beautiful flowers and the new troughs.

The Parish Council would like to once again thanks those who made financial contributions to purchase the flower troughs, those who attended on the 23rd June to help with the installation and also the trio who have diligently been watering all the flowers to keep them blossoming- Penny J, Carol and Mandi.
