LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Barry’s colourful planting displays around the village are a joy.  Barry, over the years, has supplied, planted and lovingly cared for them BUT, Barry has had the misfortune of breaking his leg which has left him unable to tend his pots.  The plan is to reduce the number of pots until such time as Barry is able to look after them again.

We need small groups of volunteers for each location to tend the plants to keep the village lit with colour.

Adderley Parish Council have invested in some planters with water reservoirs to be distributed around the village which will replace many of the existing pots.  The Parish Council will supply the compost and Barry has ordered the plants.  

Calling residents at the following locations:-

• Station Road – 2 planters
• Green Bank – 2 planters
• Meadow Bank – 4 half planters (there is possible access to a water tap)
• Rectory Lane – 2 half planters – (there is access to a water tap)
• Bus Stop Library area – 2/3 planters and 2 half planters – (there is access to a water tap)
• Church – 4 pots & 2 planters – (there is access to a water tap)
• Village Hall – 5 half planters *NB – as a safety measure there are several pots placed along the front edge of the hall which will remain temporarily but will need attending – (there is access to a water tap)

There is only one thing worse than an empty flower pot and that’s a pot filled with dead flowers! If we cannot care for the plants they will have to be removed, a loss for the village and a heartbreak for Barry. 

Planting starts in May so if you can help keep Adderley in Bloom please phone

Book The Village Hall

The annual review of the first year of Nice Place To Be was held in the village hall on Sunday 16th April.  Members of the community came along to hear from the group what they had been up to during the year and to participate in a discussion about what sort of activities they would like in their community going forward.

The report can be viewed here but Val Nash, Chair of NPTB  emphasised to the meeting that while Nice Place to Be was formalised as an unincorporated association to enable the Heritage Lottery application,  its primary role is to be there for everyone in the community  and it is very much about providing a voice for everyone who wants to get involved and help to make our village the sort of community space that works for them.

Details of the Coronation weekend and the sort of event people want were discussed and the overwhelming view was to hold the Big Breakfast on the Sunday morning as planned and perhaps attach to that some Coronation themed activity for the children that can happen straight after the Breakfast.   People felt that one event was probably best as the focus for community activity rather than having two events which might dilute attendance at both.
