Cricket Field-Remediation Work
Brian Horsfield through late last year has been communicating formally with the Planning Director of the Diocese (Landlord). Renewal of the Club Lease from 1st April 2025 will require rectification of the situation on the land, fully to their satisfaction. Additionally, Peter Jennings is in contact with the Club captain who has advised that the County Council has approved the rectification plan although there is a debate on the route into the field that the trucks and equipment will take. Either via the B482 or via the gate by the Village Hall. The B482 route has been requested.
Brian advises that until the Diocese approves the plan and there is an agreed Timetable we should assume nothing will happen quickly. We thank Brian and Peter for their continuing work to get the remediation done.

Community Matters, Lane End Food Bank and Support Team-
A huge thank you for the January delivery and large amount of donations to Community Matters. There were so many useful donations much needed for the 90 Lane End mouths we feed of all ages. We give not only food and some financial assistance but also support and love to our families and households that are experiencing very real crises and illnesses. A common phrase we on the Community Matters team hear over and over from our families is "we don't know how we could get through these difficult times without your help".
Our next delivery is on Thursday 20th February. Please leave donations in the porch at THE BEACONS, Cadmore End on Wednesday 19thFebruary or by 10am on the 20th.
