Hedgehog signs – everyone loves to see wildlife living in harmony with us humans. We all love to see hedgehogs in our gardens but they are becoming a rare sighting these days. We are hoping to put hedgehog signs in the village to make people aware of the number of hedgehogs being killed on the roads. Please take care of your speed when driving through the village and report any sightings of hedgehogs on the road and in the garden so we know where they are and can place the signs appropriately.

GRANTS for conversion from soliud fuel to Oil/LPG
MARK WARING from the County Council has funding for a project to fully pay for the conversion for people who are struggling to maintain their heating due to ill health or disability. As long as they qualify (which sounds very straightforward) he can get the conversion progressing quickly in time for winter. The project works well in Hartshorne as it is considered “off grid” due to the lack of gas supply.
