Calling all volunteers!

Calling All Volunteers!  We're seeking volunteers to help with Road Sign Cleaning!  Last time, our amazing volunteers cleaned the roadside signs and made a HUGE difference to the look of our village -  it was a fun too!  Can you help again? The Parish Council can arrange to borrow a couple of kits for a few weeks. Even just an hour of your time cleaning would make a difference. Why not get the family together or a few friends, or even go out on your own and spend an hour or so making your way around the signs in the village?  Interested? Please contact us at parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk. Let's come together to keep our village beautiful!  #CommunitySpirit #Volunteer #KeepOurVillageBeautiful #Nettlebed ...
