Our Village
Following the success of the hanging basket displays last year the council has installed additional baskets in the High Street - grey water is used to keep the displays looking good. Thanks go to the Gardening Club for planting up the flower tubs in the High Street and to the many shop keepers and residents who help with watering duties.

Calling all bookworms
Magpie kindly donates the proceeds from the sale of second hand books towards the floral displays in the High Street - keep reading!!
Four new conservation style litter bins have been installed in the High Street to replace the previous concrete bins - the new bins are considered to be more appropriate in this Conservation Area.


Our ducks

Two new ducks were installed at the pond in Jardin d'Aubers in the Spring but only one now remains. However, he/she seems happy and healthy, if a little lonely!
The Jardin d'Aubers is an area of land leased by the Parish Council from the Fire Service for the enjoyment of residents.

Community Grants
The Parish Council has a small fund to support organisations which improve the village's facilities and quality of life. In recent years the council has helped to improve the Wadhurst Scouts' hut, helped with set up costs for the Arts' Festival, supported the Bonfire display and the Junior Football club and helped fund charities working in the village.

Tennis
