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!

Asian Hornets – please help protect our honeybee population
The British Beekeeping Association have asked if we could all watch and share this video widely, to help protect our honeybee population as Asian Hornet numbers grow just across the Channel. You may see traps in the countryside, which are all part of creating a national grid of trackers.
It will take less than two minutes to view. Thank you.

have a head for finances, or are
passionate about the environment, or are
interested in planning, or are simply
interested in making Nettlebed an even better place to live!
Whether you’re a seasoned resident, or relatively new to Nettlebed, if you have a couple of spare hours a week, we would welcome your enthusiasm and fresh perspective.
Interested? Contact the Clerk for a chat on 01491 614815 or email parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk for an application form, or download APPLICATION FORM.
