The Coronation Picnic on Sunday 7 May caught the fair weather over the weekend and brought out a good crowd of local residents who kept us busy right from the start! 

We met many neighbours and gained interesting perspectives on living in Four Marks , from new estate residents as well as folk who have lived here for generations.

There was a lot of interest in the implications of potential development sites now being considered and the future allocation of sites in the new local plan. People were also keen to discuss the state of our local infrastructure, (lack of a pub, how difficult it is to get anywhere without using the car, flooded roads etc.,) 

It was not all work and no play – we had great success with our local map game  ‘Can you find your house?’ enjoyed by over 50 children and their families, along with a free lucky dip,  and for the grown-ups, a free Bottle Tombola and Gourmet Goodies Basket prize draw.  The winner lives in Handyside Place and we are delivering the basket this evening.

We are now working on updating our mailing list with new members and planning our next event.  

Our thanks go to the Parish Council admin team who worked so hard to make this a really lovely day for our community!
