It’s hard to get excited by bus shelters, but when you see the improvements it’s hard not to! Following on from our previous News item, the work funded by a grant from EHDC to clean and refurbish the bus shelters in Headley has been completed. The wooden bus shelter at Glebe Road has had a…
It can’t have escaped anyone’s notice that our bus shelters in Headley have been looking the worse for wear. The metal and Perspex shelters have gone green with mossy growth, and the wooden ones have lost glazing and panels. There is good news though, Headley Parish Council has been awarded a grant by EHDC to…
Our wildflower meadow is a small area of the Village Gren behind the Childrens’ Playground, which has been set aside and seeded to encourage our native flora to grow. It is fascinating to observe the different flowers that appear through the year, and every month brings new additions to the display. Wildflower meadows don’t usually…

Unfortunately, due to the weather,…

A highlight of December was hosting a visit from over 50 pupils from The Holme School, Headley. Site Manager Neil Kelly with his team and Gordon Kerr the architect had prepared a guided tour to show the children what goes on behind the safety fence around a busy building site. They also explained how the…
The role of Headley Parish Council is very broad, so it makes sense to divide the activities up into dedicated Working Groups. These are not formal committees: the emphasis is on getting things done, not endless meetings! The Parish Enhancement Group (PEG) consists of five councillors and soon we hope, members of the local community…
