Nettlebed Parish Council have four vacant allotment plots. £15 for a full plot p/a. £7.50 for a 1/2 plot Dig for Victory was a campaign launched by the Ministry of Agriculture in 1940 to help combat food shortages in Britain by promoting the planting of allotments in gardens and on public land. Whilst Dig for Victory was a response to a wartime problem of food shortages many of its outcomes reflect things we are concerned about today:- - having access to fresh, healthy food - being active - living sustainably - saving money If you don't have the time to take on a full plot, do consider taking half a plot...perhaps share one with a friend or neighbour. Priority will be given to Nettlebed residents. Contact parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk for more information. ...

Parking Space for the village Post Office. On behalf of the village Post Van which comes to Nettlebed on a Monday and Thursday morning, can you please make sure you do not move the traffic cones placed in front of the village club (to the left). This place is reserved for the Post Office Van as it is the only place in the car park with a reliable WiFi signal (needed for card transactions). Malcolm from the club kindly puts out these cones every Monday and Thursday but recently it has been bought to our attention that people are moving these cones and parking there (thought to be dog walkers). Please, on behalf of this valuable resource please be considerate and kind. There are plenty of other parking spaces in the car park! Thank you for your time. ...
