On the 25th June 2018 an illegal site was set up by travellers on the playing field of the village hall. They gained entry at 6pm and thankfully due to the collaborative work and quick thinking by staff, the volunteer management committee, police, cricketers. parish councillors and council we managed to have them removed by 8;30pm. After that a number of vehicles attempted to get onto the site.

To protect our village, playing fields and car park we need to raise emergency funds to install a height restricted barrier, which can be unlocked for emergency vehicles and community transport.

We also need to install additional bollards to the playing field and install CCTV.

We need help to do this, we are a charity and the hall is managed by volunteers, with a small team of staff who are passionate about our village hall. If everyone in our village could donate a few pounds we would soon have enough to do the work needed to continue to protect our village.

If you can help, it would be wonderful and we appreciate you helping us solve this problem.
