The time is flying by and I can hardly believe that we are in April already. Over the last month I am pleased to report that Feoffee Will Cook was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by Tetbury Town Council, along with his great friend Grayham Cleaver, this included their work over the winter months, planting the new hedging and trees in Preston Park. We really appreciate the time and commitment that Will and Grayham give to Preston Park and our community.
I am sorry to advise that the pond at the Millennium Green has suffered from a pollution incident, we have provided water samples to the Environment Agency and await the results. Our thanks go to Thirteen member Ben Scrivens for his work in maintaining the pond, including keeping the grills clear and we look forward to the pond being restored to its former ecosystem.
The good news is - we are currently updating the tables in The Market House and I am pleased to confirm that we will be bringing back the Feoffee & Thirteen Community BBQ on Friday 16th June at 6pm. This BBQ is provided by the Feoffee free of charge to residents and it is an opportunity for us to meet up with new friends and old on the Millennium Green – please bring your own picnic rugs, chairs and drinks – we look forward to seeing you there.
