Calling All Volunteers – Let’s Keep Nettlebed Looking Great!

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
We’re once again looking for volunteers to help clean our village road signs! Last year, your incredible efforts made a huge difference to the appearance of Nettlebed. Whether you're a returning volunteer or joining us for the first time, we'd love your help. The Parish Council have arranged to borrow a couple of cleaning kits for a few weeks. Even just an hour of your time can make a big impact. Why not gather your family or a few friends—or head out solo—and clean a few signs at your own pace? If you are interested, please get in touch with us at: clerk@nettlebed-pc.gov.uk Let’s come together once more to keep our village looking its best!#CommunitySpirit #Volunteer #KeepNettlebedBeautiful #Nettlebed ...

Nettlebed Creamery Needs You!

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
Part - Time Farm Milk Collection Driver: Due to staff illness, we are looking for a practical individual with an hour to spare on weekday mornings between 6.30 - 7.30am to drive our van from Nettlebed to Bix to collect the milk for the day’s cheesemaking.  Think: empty roads, early morning birds singing and the satisfaction of knowing you’re an integral cog of the daily process of turning the very best milk into some of the best cheese in the country! Competitive rates of pay and a staff discount at the cheese shed available. Would suit anyone with a full car driving license over the age of 26 (to meet our insurance requirements), who likes to be up and about before the rest of the village have got their socks on.
