Brick plinth re-built .....
You may recall that quite a while ago our Brick plinth that had been relocated to beside the gate when the car park was re-surfaced, suffered quite a bit of damage from people badly parking their cars.

We had put the constituent parts onto storage and after looking around for a builder to help out with the plinths re-building we were eventually helped out by Bricks & Bread Sustainable Living Centre on Church Lane, a new venture in Aldershot. Their resident handyman and all round expert did did an excellent job for us, our grateful thanks go to them.

If you see any vandalism, damage or disturbance in the park, please do not get involved, but phone the Police on the usual numbers -

999 - for emergencies,
112 - from mobiles worldwide,
101 - for non emergencies.
