Buckhurst Field Improvement Programme
The transformation of Buckhurst Field is progressing wonderfully. By the time you read this, the new pavilion will be complete and proudly serving as home to Robins FC.
I would like to extend my thanks to our contractors and everyone involved for their exceptional work and efficiency throughout this important project.
Meanwhile, the Buckhurst Skatepark redevelopment continues at pace and is scheduled for completion by mid- May. We're planning a special opening celebration on May 24th to coincide with the Buckhurst Family Fun Day – an event I hope many of you will join us for.
Additionally, I'm pleased to report that planning permission has been granted for the new PlayZone, replacing the current Multi-Use-Games-Area, with construction set to begin in early June.
Summer at the Town Gardens Bowl
Looking ahead to summer entertainment, the Town Gardens Bowl will host a diverse program of events beginning with Comedy at the Bowl on Sunday, 1 June, hosted by the Old Town Comedy Club as part of the Old Town Festival.
The summer lineup includes theatre performances, musical concerts, and children's events.

Mowing Season 2025
Now that Spring has officially begun, parishioners may have seen officers out on their mowers starting the regular programme of grass cutting.
Grass cutting and mowing will now be taking place across the parks, verges play areas and open spaces that the parish council manage. Most spaces will receive a cut every 3 weeks if the weather allows it. Our rewilding areas will receive their yearly cut in September.
We appreciate your patience as we work through the schedule.
