Dear Resident
Here are a couple of items of information that would be out-of-date before I produce another newsletter.
St. George's Church is re-opening for a Communion Service on the second Sunday in each month and for Morning Service conducted by the churchwarden on the fourth Sunday. They will be Covid 19 dominated for the moment with rules and regulations obeyed.
If you are in the habit of going to Newchurch or the Garlic Farm via the Downs Road then Newchurch Shute will be closed for resurfacing from July 28th for up to five days. Please see the attached notice from Island Roads for further details.
Best wishes
Sheila
