Help With Green Waste Needed

Chris Edgerley is making good progress working on the wall at Bernards’ Place.

There is some green waste that needs to be disposed of and they are appealing to anyone in the village community with green waste bins, which have space in them to bring them to Bernards’ Place so they can get rid of some of the waste.

Please telephone David Leader on: 01308 868275 or 07867 608652

Bernards’ Place Wall Prepared

Parish Councillor David Leader, Chairperson of the Comrades Hall committee led a work party yesterday afternoon and issued the following statement together with the photographs:

“I have just got back from today’s work party at Bernard’s Place. We started working in freezing temperatures but it did warm up to minus 1. Today we were preparing the wall for renovation. This challenging project is being undertaken by Chris Edgerley who is providing all his time free of charge saving the hall committee many hundreds of pounds. We simply can not thank him enough.

Today we cut the overgrown hedge on the top of the wall back, cleared built up soil and removed loads of ivy. The wall is falling down and we have had to cordon the wall off to prevent any accidents. Please do not go inside the cordon. It is clearly marked with cones and tape.

All the essential work was carried out by Chris, Stefan, Amanda, Daren, Margaret, Sally, Bob, John and myself. To these intrepid volunteers I extend a massive thank you, community spirit at its best.

All the work was carried out with rigid social distancing. Hope everyone has a good weekend and stays safe in these difficult times.

With kind regards

David Leader
Chairperson, Comrades Hall”

Drimpton’s Bunting Bonanza

A colourful and commemorative idea from Drimpton promoting Village Community:

At some point we will emerge from Lockdown and once again be able to come together as a community. In anticipation of that, three ladies in Drimpton are planning to celebrate by decorating Drimpton with bunting made by the village.

So if you’re looking for something to while away a bit of time, why not tap into your creative juices and design one or more flags to represent you, your family, 2020, Drimpton, or anything else you fancy!
It can be drawn, painted, sewn, knitted (pattern below) glued, appliquéd or anything else you can think of – the choice is yours. There are no rules apart from the size (a triangle measuring 20cm x 30cm).

They hope to be able to have a coffee morning in March (restrictions permitting) where you can bring along your completed bunting flags. They’ll then take them away and stitch them together to create the commemorative village bunting that will be a lasting reminder of these extraordinary times for years to come.

For further details or queries (and bunting templates if required) contact:

Francesca – 01308 867617
Kate – 01308 868843 or

Wall Repair At Bernards’ Place – Help Needed

Village resident, Chris Edgerley regularly volunteers at our Community Stores. He has very kindly volunteered to repair and repoint the wall to the North West of Bernards Place. This wall is in a very poor state of repair and has become a hazard.

Cllr. David Leader stated: “This is a fantastic undertaking by Chris and will save the hall many hundreds of pounds. There is some preparatory work that needs to be done for which we need a work party. The work shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours providing we get enough helpers. Can I please suggest Saturday the 9th January as the weather is looking dry if cold with a 10.30am start. We need to:

get the remaining ivy off the wall,
cut the hedge back that is on top of the wall and
clear accumulated soil from the side of the wall and from the back of the kitchen.

The more helpers we get the quicker we will get it done.”

All will remain socially distanced and comply with other Covid advice, although being outside will aid this.

Please contact David Leader on 01308 868275 or 07867 608652.
