The council has completed work on the community garden, a space designed to make a positive difference to the High Street. The land, gifted in 2025 where the old Police Station once stood, has been transformed into an accessible and enjoyable area.
Improvements include levelling the ground for better accessibility, repointing the existing wall, laying fresh grass, installing extra seating, and adding a new litter bin. A selection of shrubs have also been planted, which are expected to establish over time.
The council hopes this new corner of the High Street will serve as a pleasant spot for people to pause, sit, relax, and enjoy their surroundings. The space also retains the town's flagpole, which will be used for upcoming Remembrance Day commemorations.
The community is invited to join the Remembrance Day events. A parade to the War Memorial is scheduled for 8 November, with a service at 11am on 11 November. The council extended its thanks to the Grounds Team for their expertise on the project.
