There has been a red diesel spill into the stream running through the village. There is a strong smell the entire length of the stream and a film of diesel covering the water. We have been advised by the Environment Agency to keep all animals clear and they are currently investigating the source of the spill. This is a very serious matter and it particularly affects livestock and pets. If any residents have any knowledge of how to best clean up the mess, please can they contact any member of the Parish Council.

A new Red Oak tree was planted today in the churchyard. The Quercus Rubra will ultimately grow to 12 metres tall and will be a spectacular addition to the churchyard. It was bought to replace an Ash tree which was diseased and had to be felled. The Red Oak leaves go a deep red in autumn and should stand out most beautifully. The tree was kindly donated to St Mary Magdalene by Hazel Steven and she supervised the planting with Clive Hunt doing much of the digging on behalf of the PCC! You can find out more about the Red Oak on the Woodland Trust website by clicking here.
The Friends of St. Mary Magdalene would like to thank everyone who come to sing Christmas Carols on The Green in Upper Wardington on Wednesday 20th December.

There were over 70 people and a net total of just over £150 was raised for the church. We look forward to seeing even more of you next year for mulled wine, mince pies, stollen, hot chocolate and lots of good cheer!
