News about the Tree House
As you will have seen, the Tree House is basically finished, apart from some clearing up around the area. However, we are still waiting for a final sigh-off that all is safe to use again. Please do not go past the barrier fence until we have formally opened the Tree House.

The Sheppey
The playing field recovered remarkably well after the summer drought conditions and is now in a good state. The football season is well underway, with the teams of Sheppey Swifts playing and practicing regularly.
Some work will be done on the grass surface soon, to improve the quality of the sward, and hopefully make it more resilient for next summer.
We are still waiting for a contractor to address the matter of loose chippings on the Blacksmiths Lane ramp, so the gate will remain locked to prevent any other slips or falls.
Temporary repair work has been done on the handrail by the Main Street pedestrian entrance but these rails will need complete replacement soon. The same goes for the rails at the Blacksmiths lane steps.
We are looking at ways of mending the wooden animals by the carved bench, the original sculptor has been contacted but, so far, hasn’t responded. Although this feature of the Sheppey isn’t owned by the Village Hall, we do hope to make repairs. “We will find it, we will bind it, we will stick it with glue, glue, glue”.
