SPRING is sprung: Wondering when the spring clean is? This Saturday, in fact!

Join your litter-picking neighbours for the annual Rotherwick tidy-up after the long, hard winter. Meet at the village hall at 10am, dressed for action. Certain tools will be provided but any items you can bring along will be welcomed. Refreshments will be supplied.

For further information, please email our parish clerk at clerk@rotherwick.com.

You can then meet all your new friends again next week at the Rotherwick Lunch Club on Thursday, April 2, at The Coach and Horses! Turn up there at 12.15pm to share your blackbag stories.

FROM parish to Parliament: Congratulations to John Bennett, Barbara Platt and Karyn Reid, three of the Rotherwick Broadband Project team members who helped implement our superfast broadband service, who were recently invited to Westminster to give a briefing on how we did it! Hopefully our experience as a village will be useful to other rural areas still struggling with slow speeds.
