With the continued hot, dry conditions we're having, fires in fields and open land can spread incredibly quickly, making them much more challenging for firefighters to tackle. 🚒

The ground is much drier and hotter than using, meaning even a small fire can grow rapidly and travel across large area, tying up emergency resources for quite a while.

Please see our top tips below on how to prevent outdoor fires this summer. 🔥

We'd really appreciate it if you could share this post!

The Barn Close Play Area transformation has begun and is quickly taking shape. We have lots of new equipment, a cobbled border and much needed seating being installed on site right now. By this time next week it will look very different!

Grand opening plans will be confirmed at the Parish Council meeting on 11/08/26 and we’ll share those soon after.
