ESCC Highways/B2096 Safety Issues

Dallington Parish Council recently had a meeting with ESCC Highways about the safety issues on the B2096, particularly the Carricks Hill/Earlsdown area and the exit from Bakers Lane.
ESCC Highways reply was disappointing – many suggestions (double white lines on Carricks Hill are out of the question), but there is no firm commitment or dates for improvements.
DPC will continue to campaign vigorously for these improvements

Darwell Wood Wild Garlic

Just thought I’d share with you the glorious wild garlic blooms in Darwell Wood, they seem to go on for miles and are simply breathtaking.
The photo was taken last Tuesday when walking our pup (Alfie), we go regularly about twice a week and Darwell is enchanting in all seasons.
