Our 2024 Dallington Parish Assembly was held on 16.04.24, it was well attended and a friendly and enjoyable evening.
The public had the opportunity to ask questions of their County, District and Parish Councillors:
* Complaints about potholes and the general state of our roads.
* Are ESCC Highways using insecticide for weed prevention?
* Why have DPC increased their precept? This is because the Radio Club have ceased to use the recreation ground and their fees are no longer available. DPC are the sole trustee of the ground and must legally maintain it and the pavilion. Major work has been/is being done on the pavilion.

The Robertsbridge and Brightling Repair Cafe has now been in existence for almost 2 years and in that time has attracted more than 250 people from as far afield as Pevensey and Sevenoaks – so our fame is spreading far and wide.
2024 promises more of the same. We will be running 5 sessions this year at Robertsbridge Village Hall (dates below). As usual the Repair Cafe will be from 9.00am until midday, with the last items being accepted at 11.45am – so get there early! Items take time to be repaired, so please don’t leave it until the last minute.
Dates for this year are:
In addition to the repairs, for the first time we will also be collecting unwanted specs and sunglasses for recycling, as well as old tools that will be refurbished by Tools with a Mission and sent to Africa. We will also continue to work with Energy Champions who attend our Repair Cafes to give advice about reducing energy bills and saving energy. We hope to see you this year.
We had a very pleasant evening on 25th April 2023 at our annual parish assembly. It was particularly good to see old friends and meet some new ones.
The reports from County, District and the organisation and clubs involved in Dallington can be seen on the link below.
