Barnard Meadow
March 2023
Now the weather is kinder we will be starting to clear, tidy and level the ground at Barnard Meadow. A successful site survey has been carried out with an environmental assessment to follow.
We shall use the grant funding we obtained from Local Giving for a skip to move the considerable amount of old rubbish from the land, and the matched funding from Pewsey Area Board for erection of fencing and gates on the site.
We can then move forward with the plan for a car park and community space. We intend in due course to have benches with commemorative plaques for respected and worthy residents of North Newnton parish.
End Of Amazon Smile
March 2023
Unfortunately Amazon have now stopped Amazonsmile as a fundraising medium. We are looking at other options, but in the meantime Easfundraising is still a great opportunity for supporters to shop at no cost to themselves.
