Managed Bonfires

As mentioned in a previous Special Bulletin (See below), WTC has given us permission to hold Managed Bonfires outside the normal post-4pm restrictions. This allows tenants to dispose of wood rubbish on their plots who may not want to have individual plot bonfires during the darkening hours of autumn and winter.

With that in mind, we have chosen Wednesday, 12th November at 10:30am as the date for the first Managed Bonfire.

From today (30th October), tenants may deposit wood only (e.g., loose branches, old/broken pallets, old timber) at the designated collection point near the back gate, marked by red-topped stakes — see below image. Please do not deposit any other materials besides wood.

Site Entrance Clean-Up

As also mentioned recently, a working party will be formed to clean up the gate and noticeboard area. The Committee has chosen the weekend of Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th November for this task and is asking for volunteers to come along and help.

The work will include:

• Strimming
• Removal of undergrowth and brambles
• Topping off some bushes

The aim is to create a clean, flat area around the noticeboard and nearby space, where we can lay weed-suppressant material, cover it with gravel or stones, and add raised beds for flowers and shrubs.

If you can help, please reply to this email, and we’ll add you to the list of volunteers. We plan to meet inside the main gate at 10:30am on Saturday, 15th November. If extra time is needed, we’ll return the following day.

Many thanks &
Kind regards
