David Thake has stepped down as treasurer and Richard Green as trustee of East Farndon Amenities Trust, which manages Marriott Green in East Farndon. Huge thanks go to David and Richard who were part of a small group of villagers who raised funds to buy the land in 2010 and have managed it ever since then. Sonya Fraser, also a founding trustee, remains as a trustee. Following some new appointments, the other trustees are Jess Oakden, Judy Hodgetts, Sharon Weldon, Julia Prew and Melanie Duke.

Many thanks to all of the villagers who helped with a late spring tidy up of Marriott Green and the land at the rear which belongs to the Parochial Church Council. In addition, a grateful shout out to Richard West who has kindly offered to mow the grass on a regular basis.
A big thank you also to the Immmediate Justice team. A team of three, led by Aidan Gibson a former police chief inspector, spent a wet morning working very hard on gardening and rubbing down the picnic bench / steps as part of a community service programme. They did a great job and we really appreciate their help. The Immediate Justice scheme is run by the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and works with individuals committing anti-social behaviour on their rehabilitation. If you would like to find out more about the Immediate Justice scheme, please see northants.police.uk/police-forces/northamptonshire-police/areas/northamptonshire-force-content/about-us/about-us/immediate-justice/
There will be another tidy up in the autumn, so watch this space!
