The gate to the wilderness will be open on Saturday 7th November from 9am to 1pm to allow residents to drop off their garden waste. During this time we ask that people adhere to any current social distancing measures and be courteous of others in the area. There will be members of the Parish Council in attendance to help and to ensure any material is suitable to burn.

Please note, the fire will not be lit on the 7th and will be dealt with as appropriate on a different occasion, unfortunately we cannot allow people to gather when the fire is lit due to COVID restrictions.   Any queries please contact Sharon Walker 07984 232424 or Rob Collard.
