Well done to Karen Hymers (Smiles Hairdressing) and all her helpers at the Fun Day held last Saturday. The event raised just over £300.

 This amount will go towards the £18,000 already raised for the building of a new changing room and showers. The total cost of this project is £70,000. Plans are already drawn up and ready to go. Anyone taking a quick look behind our village hall will soon see that this facility is much needed, in fact the existing building does not reflect Wye at all.

 Karen tells us that help from any quarter would be much appreciated by our Wye Football Team and The Village Hall Committee.

Message from ABC’s Landscape Officer

Liz Walker, the Landscape Officer at Ashford Borough Council, who is dealing with the St Ambrose Green tree applications, has asked the Parish Council to publicise the following message to all those who have contacted her about the applications.

“ Very many thanks for all the letters you are sending in to Ashford Borough Council with regard to the proposed felling of a TPO Horse Chestnut and works to other protected trees situated at St Ambrose Green.  Although the number of letters makes it impossible to reply individually, please be aware that every comment made is read and, where possible, acted on.  We are arranging to inspect the trees thoroughly prior to making a decision on the TPO application and Conservation Area Notification.  The Parish Council will be notified of any relevant findings and of our decision, when made.”

Summer may not have been all that we may have wished but autumn has its own special qualities. Penelope Skilbeck reminds us of that in her latest contribution to Creative Wye.
