COUNTRY PARK: HCPT is almost ready to complete the winding up, but one of the display boards has developed a crack on its face. HCPT is in contact with the manufacturers and is awaiting the outcome, but may need to pay for the repair. HCPT has also purchased a board for their tree, which they hope to install next week. It reads: This tree was planted by the Hellingly Community Park Trust in 2017 to remember their work since 2001 ‘a green space for all’. As of April 5, the first grass cut of the season has taken place and the fallen oak tree by the bat house has been cleared up. The cricket club has installed a wire netting fence around the pitch to prevent the balls getting lost in the undergrowth. The resident ducks appear to be flourishing and the Canada geese have been seen on several occasions.
