Community Orchard – East Grimstead village
Further to the article in the November 2022 edition of the Dun Valley Magazine concerning the proposed Community Orchard in East Grimstead, the comments received by the Parish Council were considered at its meeting on 5th December 2022. As a result, and bearing in mind that a suitable location for two memorial trees also needs to be found, councillors decided to look elsewhere for a location, possibly in West Grimstead.
With grateful thanks to those who took the time to make their views known either in writing or verbally at the site and parish council meetings, the written comments received, duly anonymised, can be found by clicking on the link below:
