MMR is on the RISE
13 March 2024



It’s very easy to catch measles if you’re in close contact with someone who has it. Nine out of ten unvaccinated children can catch measles if someone in their class has it.

The MMR vaccine is the safest and most effective way to protect against measles. If you or your family haven’t had both doses, it’s never too late to catch up. It’s free on the NHS, whatever your age.


Find out more about measles, including symptoms and how you can get vaccinated at https://www.cpics.org.uk/measles


Measles isn’t just a childhood disease; it can make adults seriously unwell too.

Play Park Update
11 December 2023

Wicksteed are on site at the recreation ground this week replacing fence and gates, and surfacing area for train. Final safety report expected soon so that it can be opened before Christmas, with an official opening event planned in a few weeks. Wicksteed and the Parish Council wish to take this opportunity to thank our residents for their patience in this matter and we apologise for the disappointment the delay in re-opening may have caused our young people.

With our good wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year

Play Park Closed

PLAYPARK UPDATE - 18 October

The new play park is proceeding well and you will have noticed that the contractors installing the new play park equipment have removed their fencing. Unfortunately, this was a little hasty as there are some snagging issues that need resolving with some of the equipment and a clear safety report signed off BEFORE the equipment is handed over to the Parish Council and play park can be used.

The gates have therefore been locked shut to prevent it being used. Hopefully, the issues will be resolved quickly and the parish council plan to hold an opening event as soon as is possible.

Many thanks for your patience and please do keep children off of the equipment until the park is opened.

Further updates will follow at play site and village noticeboard
