Open reach have closed the main road  out of Parwich again. 

They were unable to say whether they would need to do so again tomorrow or how any of us could find out if that did happen.

Allow more time for journeys !

Details for the Wakes Hill Race are below. The Fair will also be situated on the Green opposite the Sycamore Inn.

Having read this article, I wonder if several options were missed off the survey re ‘the Creamery triangle’. https://www.rhs.org.uk/wildlife/lawn-and-mini-meadow-habitats

Strimming the edges of the green and leaving the central bit open to nature could be another option. This would hopefully alleviate the fears of people who worry about their view of the road being decreased; although I would argue that it could possibly force people to slow down – so maybe making it safer!  A partially mowed area could make an interesting study for the children of Parwich – what can they find/see in the mowed parts vs areas left to grow?  

Another option in the above article is to not mow from spring to the end of August. 

I don’t want to flog a dead horse, or cause an argument, but I’m not sure all options were carefully considered; there simply wasn’t enough reflection time given to issue. If not this year, perhaps something to consider next?

I had an uninvited guest parked on my drive way yesterday afternoon – a white car. 

Does anyone know the female with glasses who had the audacity to do so!

Thank you,

Due to weather conditions and contractor availability the triangle will not be cut until the 3rd of June at the earliest.
