This year’s Poppy Appeal begins at the end of next week and we hope to raise a similar amount to that achieved in the past. We realise that times are probably more difficult at present but I am sure you will do your best. We are also desperately short of someone to cover the Oakhill Drive area so if you have any time to spare please give Mrs. Beryl Crouch a call on 01424-882120 and she can give you all the details. The annual Concert to be given by Cranbrook Town Band in aid of the Poppy Appeal will be held in the Village Hall on Thursday, December 6, at 7.45pm.

Problems on the A28 road at Westfield will be occurring from Monday, October 29 for 5 days. Resurfacing work is due to be carried out between Freshfields Farm Shop and the crossroads at the Westfield Car Sales showroom. The road is being closed to through traffic but hopefully the side roads will still be accessible. This will mean considerable alterations to the bus schedules both this side and the Hastings side of Westfield. Diversions are being signposted taking you through Cripps Corner. Be very careful if you are using the lanes from Westfield to Hastings during this period.
