We are pleased to report that seating has now been installed in The Parks (see photos) and we hope that people can make use of them.  Following on from the seating, we are now in a position to create an avenue of trees along the footpath to enhance the area and determine the footpath route.  If you would like to sponsor a tree, these will be available at £300 each – they will be fenced in and a plaque can be installed on the wooden surround.  Interested parties should contact the Secretary, secretary@feoffeetrust.co.uk , in the first instance.  We will be planting oak, beech, copper beech, field maple and wild cherry – 12 trees in total.

We hope you all enjoy the park area and remember to pick up after your dogs.

We welcome Mr Tim Wakeley as our new co-opted trustee (5 years). Tim has lived in the village for quite an while and was Scout Leader for 11 years in Nafferton before moving to Commissioner level in Humberside Scout County. He has a lot of experience working with the young people in the village and also the General Manager of a local company who have over 50 staff. We look forward to his contributions.

The Trustees of Nafferton Feoffees Trust are seeking to appoint a replacement Trustee.  We are seeking expressions of interest from any adult person living within the parishes of Nafferton and Wansford.
