Maurice Holliday It is a great time of year to visit the upper part of Whittle Dene which is managed by the Woodland Trust and is partly within Horsley parish. The bluebells, wild garlic and spotted orchids are in full bloom and quite spectacular under the fresh green leaves in the tree canopy. At the AGM of Horsley Parish Council the chairperson, Michael Senior, thanked all community volunteers for the work they do around the parish. This includes litter picking, cleaning bus shelters, upkeep of planters and the war memorial, speed gun operation and reports and maintenance of rights of way. The meeting was held in the village hall for the first time in over a year with only two members of the public present. Parish councils are no longer able to address the public using the internet.
