**NOTICES**

 

🌾💐🍎EATON, EASTWELL AND GOADBY MARWOOD HORTICULTURAL SHOW🍓🌻  As many of you will know, last year was the 100th Annual Eaton Horticultural Show. After a lot of hard work over several years, Paul Britton and his team have stepped down. Thanks to Paul for such a wonderful job.

We are now looking/asking if anyone or a group of people would be interested in taking this forward in 2026?

Please message/contact Tony Allen, Eaton Village Hall Chairman, if you are interested. 

Email: therope@btinternet.com   Mobile: 07770 099518

 

From Parish Councillor Stuart Bridge: 

Would villagers please report any accidents that they see at the Eastwell crossroads on Scalford Road at Cross Roads Farm to Parish Councillor Stuart Bridge who is trying

to get Give Way signage on the approach to the crossroads from the Waltham-on-the-Wolds direction changed to a STOP sign. So far, LCC Highways have refused on the basis that the accident records do not justify the change.

(If you wish to report an accident, please send it to Stuart via email: 

stuart@the stackyard.co.uk OR call him on: 07971 483050)

 

There is a  relatively new VILLAGE HALL WEBSITE:  eatonvillagehall.org.uk
