Playing Field news…
We are delighted that our bid to the A428 Community Fund has been accepted!
This will be for the area near the pond at the St Neots Road entrance to the Playing Field. We applied for funding for two benches, a bug hotel, a couple of planters and an information board and the proposal has been accepted! We are working on the exact delivery of this over the coming months.
This is in addition to the grant-funded restoration work we told you about last month that will be taking place at our pond and carried out over the next year by experts with the aim of improving the ecology here.
Both these projects involve no cost to the Parish Council.
Thank you to our kind volunteers who took part in our Annual Litter Pick!

Help us create a Hedgehog Highway in Abbotsley!
THE VERY LAST FEW ARE AVAILABLE!
SEE BELOW TO ARRANGE COLLECTION
Hedgehog Highway Fence Surrounds
Abbotsley Parish Council bought 50 Hedgehog Highway surrounds from Hedgehogs R Us, with the support of a generous private donor.
If you would like one, free of charge,
please contact Stephanie Derbyshire on 07944 334917 to arrange collection.
A Hedgehog Highway is a 5”/12.5 cm gap in a fence or wall allowing access for hedgehogs. These gaps are essential in the battle to prevent the extinction of our endangered spiky friends.
The Hedgehog Highway allows hedgehogs to:
* Forage for food
* Meet mates to breed
* Access nesting sites
More information can be found at: https://hedgehogsrus
Please note that we are limiting these to one per household due to the limited number available.
Available whilst stock lasts.
