Palm Sunday, this Sunday, 10th April at 10am
The service for Palm Sunday, when Palm Crosses will be distributed, will begin at the crossroads at 10 o'clock for a procession down to the church for the service to begin at 10.30. Sadly this year we will not be lead by a donkey. We will be joined by members of the congregations of the other churches in our benefice. As always, everyone is welcome to join us for this special service. We would like to hear from other villagers who have applied to give a home to Ukrainians, or are interested in doing so, or cannot but would like to support any arrivals in other ways.
Lauren and Peter Gale ([email protected]) For anyone who has not yet completed the yes/no survey in relation to a 20mph zone in the village, please use the link below. Deadline for responses has been extended to 10pm on Friday (the previous survey link is now closed).

Last October the Parish Council asked residents to raise any particular traffic concerns they had in the Village. One suggestion that has been raised on a number of occasions is the introduction of a 20mph zone through the Village. Ordinarily this would cost residents in the region of £4,500 to achieve, however, the Parish Council was aware that OCC intended to change its policy to make implementation of 20mph zones free to residents. OCC have now budgeted for this change. The Parish Council has therefore made an ‘expression of interest’ application to OCC for a 20mph zone in the Village. Please note a full consultation with residents will be carried out by OCC and therefore nothing has been decided at this stage. Inevitably the uptake across the County will be high and OCC’s budget is limited, therefore OCC have asked the Parish Council to demonstrate initial support from the community. OCC have said they “anticipate strong demand and the better communities can demonstrate that they’ve consulted their residents the easier it is for us to factor that into the decision-making process”. Please therefore take a minute to complete the Yes/No survey on the link below. The survey will be open until the end of Wednesday 30th March 2022. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9JQMZPN  Don’t forget Sunday 27th March
Mothers Day Teas in the Reading Room 2.30 till 5.00.pm All proceeds from the teas will go to the UNICEF Ukraine Appeal. It is good to report that plans to develop and revitalise the Contemplation Garden are going well. We have received some generous donations from villagers, including the wooden benches and various hedging and bushes required for this project.  Plan of the Garden We are also delighted with the response for volunteers to help with the various practical tasks such as:
Lindsay is organising the volunteers and they meet for the first time this Saturday 26th March in the Garden at 9.30 am – 12.30. More volunteers are welcome to come along to this or at a future date.
