As the latest lockdown has started to lift, it is lovely to see our town come back to life, with shops re-opening and people out enjoying the better weather, safely and socially distanced. The Railway Line and Preston Park have become even more important to us all during lockdown and it is wonderful that so many of our residents are taking the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and countryside, so good for our health & wellbeing. Could I please remind everyone who uses this community facility to clear up after their dogs and to take any litter home with them or use the bins provided, thank you.
We have received a lot of enquiries regarding the Ash trees which were removed on the piece of land behind the Royal Oak, at the start of Herd Lane and I want to confirm that whilst The Feoffees do own this land, it has been leased to the Town Council and is maintained by Cotswold District Council, as part of the Good Shed Car Park redevelopment. This work was part of planned maintenance by the District Council and I wanted to re-assure you all that we are in contact with the District Council regarding the re-planting of this area.
Finally, I am pleased to advise that local retailer, the Tetbury Tailor is launching a new brand of Tetbury Tweed and for each item sold, a donation of £25 will be made to our charity. I would like to extend our thanks to Mr Keith Leaver for his support of our charity and the work that we do in the town.
If you think we may be able to help you or your group with an education or training grant or would like to know more about the work we do in our town, please visit our website – www.thefeoffeesoftetbury.co.uk - or speak to one of our members.
