The willow tree at the junction of Stoney Road and Station Road, and 2 dead ash trees on the IFS site, are scheduled to be removed on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st March 2024. UK Power Networks are supposed to have advised affected residents (on Stoney Road) that the power will be turned off for the 20th. Additionally there will be traffic management in place on Station Road both days and it is likely that there will be cones across the top of Stoney Road , although these can be moved by the tree surgeon to allow residents access.

Bird Flu – DEFRA Advice
Avian Influenza (Bird Flu): Villagers will have received a letter from DEFRA (Letter Below) regarding an outbreak of Avian Influenza in our area – we are in or are close to a declared A1 Protection or Surveillance Zone (within 10km of an outbreak). The Parish Council are aware of a number of residents who keep chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons etc. The letter details measures poultry keepers should take, including registering your birds. A registration form is included with the letter, but you can also register via telephone. Please do take prompt action to do this if you own birds.
Additionally, there is advice for all of us regarding reporting of any dead wild birds (waterfowl, gulls, birds of prey). We all need to play our part to control the spread of this disease.
One or two isolated properties to the north and west of the village may not have received a letter as you are on the boundary of the 10km zone.
