A community website for the residents of Dallington in East Sussex
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.
David Gasson will be conducting his Nightjar Walks in Darwell Wood again this year, the dates are 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th June.
Its a good idea to bring binoculars and insect repellent.
Meet up in the Darwell Hole car park at 8pm.
Dallington is in Catsfield and Crowhurst Ward and Gary Curtis (Con) is elected as our District Councillor.

Just a reminder that the next Saturday opening of the Library Cafe in Dallington Old School Village Hall is this Saturday 6th April from 10-12. We will be including a plant sales table this month and each monthly Saturday session throughout the summer and autumn. Please come along to buy or bring any spare plants, seeds and garden produce.

In February 2019 the Tree Council published an Action Plan Toolkit concerning Chalara (Ash Dieback disease) primarily aimed at authorities and big landowners.
While the Action Plan Toolkit might not be directly applicable to all parishioners of Brightling and Dallington, there are landholdings in the parishes containing a great number of Ash trees some of which are near to public roads, bridleways and footpaths and may pose a risk when they become infected.
The document also outlines the responsibilities and actions expected of local authorities and so it will provide a useful checklist against which our own local authorities’ performance can be monitored.
Please click on this link to access a summary of information from the ‘Toolkit’ that is relevant or of interest to people of our two parishes. Summary of Tree Council Toolkit
