Over the past few months, the Village Green has undergone significant rejuvenation works designed to restore the guilty, appearance and resilience of this much-loved community-space.

Years of regular use and changing weather conditions had left the surface worn, uneven and compacted, with thinning grass, cracking and potholes affecting both the look and usability of the green. The restoration programme was designed to address issues and create a healthier, greener and more suitable space for everyone to enjoy.
