PLAY AREA UPDATE

As some of you may have seen already seen we have replaced both sets of swings due to them becoming unsafe to use.

Unfortunately we were not able to source another toddler swing that an adult or other children could sit in the middle.

The toddler swings were installed slightly too low but this how now be rectified.

We have also installed pigeon spikes on both sets of swings and will be installing them on the wooden climbing frame in the next few days. Disappointingly the spikes have only been up a couple of weeks and have already been damaged - it looks like the toddler swings have been thrown over the frame and squashed the spikes.

The next item to be looked at will be the roundabout which needs the bearings replaced. We have the bearings but we are just waiting for a date from the company of when they will be able to fit them - likely in the next 5 weeks hopefully.

GENTLE REMINDER - If your children use the play area please can you remind them to be respectful of the equipment as it’s there for everyone to use.

Thank you

Emma Wreathall
Parish Clerk

What a fantastic day at the Chedburgh Village Fete!

On behalf of Chedburgh Parish Council, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who helped make today’s event such a success.

A huge thank you goes to the organising committee, whose hard work, planning and dedication made the day possible. Thank you also to everyone who ran stalls, provided displays and activities, donated prizes, volunteered their time, and helped behind the scenes before, during and after the event.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came along to support the fête. It was wonderful to see so many residents, families, friends and visitors enjoying everything our village has to offer. Events like this bring our community together, strengthen friendships, and showcase the fantastic community spirit that makes Chedburgh such a special place to live.

Your support, generosity and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated, and I hope everyone had an enjoyable day.

Thank you all for making the 2026 Chedburgh Village Fete such a memorable success.
