We recognise that people are busy and may feel that they do not have the necessary knowledge to assist, but if you care deeply about the future development of the village then you can help. It may be that you would like to get involved in just one particular area or policy, for instance, social and leisure. If you ae interested please let us know by 1st July 2024, and if you have any questions please do get in touch.

SKATEPARK UPDATE

We have been waiting for ESCC to issue a licence for the new footpath access. Unfortunately the delay in obtaining this has meant that we have lost our provisional installation slot. As soon as we have received the licence and arranged a new date we will let you know.

The Jubilee Gardens

One of the beds in the Jubilee Gardens has been cleared and planted with lavender to supplement the existing rose bushes. They will be all the better next year after a proper prune in the Autumn! We have chosen Lavender as it a valuable source of nectar and pollen for our native pollinators, as well as being an attractive, hardy perennial. This is just the start of our ongoing work to restore the Jubilee Gardens. Our thanks to Goldcliff Garden Centre for their valuable support with this rejuvenation project.”

 

Almond Field

The Almond Field will be open from 1st May. The field was gifted as a legacy to Ringmer Parish Council to be used as an open space for residents. The site has been designated as a “Call for Nature” site by the South Downs National Park and Cllr Duke has worked with the donor’s family to ensure that this remains a natural site with many wildflowers. Thank you to St Mary’s Church for allowing us access, via a new gate at the back of the churchyard. We ask that dogs do not enter the field; this was a requested condition of the bequest and to enable to wildflowers to flourish. There will be a couple of benches installed soon and we hope you enjoy the tranquillity and views.
