The Parish Council is pleased to share a positive update with residents regarding the ongoing work to secure long-term leases for both the village playing park and the village hall.

Following a period of discussions and negotiations, good progress has now been made towards formalising arrangements that will help safeguard these important community assets for the future. While there is still work to be completed before matters are finalised, the Council is encouraged by the direction of travel and remains committed to securing the best possible outcome for residents.

The Council is now in the process of instructing solicitors to undertake the necessary legal work to progress these agreements. Once this process has been completed and matters are formally concluded, a further update will be provided to the community.

These facilities sit at the heart of village life, providing spaces for recreation, events, and community activities. Ensuring their long-term stability is a key priority for the Council, and this progress represents an important step forward.

The Council would like to extend its sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to participate in the recent community survey. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping shape the Council’s approach and ensuring that the views of residents are properly reflected in ongoing discussions.

We would also like to thank all those who have supported the Council throughout this process. Community engagement and backing have played a crucial role in reaching this stage.

Further updates will be provided as negotiations continue.

Cllr. Matthew Evans
