Gate appeal in memory of local organist and nature lover Joan
The gate will replace a stile and is intended to be a permanent memorial to local nature lover Joan Medlock, who died in January.
Joan was also church organist for almost 30 years, and it is hoped to include a commemorative plaque in the cost of around £200.

Motorists have been damaging verges in Pett
In a bid to dissuade people from parking on grass verges in the village, the parish council has started to plant small trees at either end of verges designated as no-parking zones.
The first trees have already gone in opposite Norris’s and also just beyond the junction of Pett Road and Watermill Lane.
