March and April 2025 Newsletters!

Apologies, but I forgot to post March’s newsletter, but to make up for this (and hopefully this will be useful for subscribers to this site), I’m trying out a new feature which is a podcast/audio version of the newsletter. Please let me know what you think!

So, for everything happening in Little Chester, have a look/listen below!

December 2024 Newsletter

The December newsletter is out now, and printed copies should have made their way to you, too!

Lots on this December:

  • Rhian’s quiz night is at the Community Centre (6th December, 7pm).
  • The Chester Green Christmas Lights Switch-on at 5pm next to the Christmas Tree at the end of Marcus Street (where it meets the Green).
  • The Christmas Window Trail also officially starts on Sunday (give or take the odd window that is not quite ready!

Lots more in this month’s Newsletter! The Window trail map is below or an electronic version is via this link: tinyurl.com/CGXmasWindows2024

August 2024 Newsletter

Lots to see in this month’s newsletter. A huge thank you to all who put on the Picnic on the Green event. We were competing with many other high-profile events in Derby and the Euros final, but we still got over 200 people to attend this annual free event.

There are details on the next quiz, a message from our new MP, and details on the CG Arts Trail (early September). There is also a petition to install earth bunds around the green to help protect it from unauthorised encampments (this summer’s visitors have just left!) This has been used across the country to keep caravans and unauthorised vehicles off urban parks, whilst still allowing access to be kept when needed via removable posts at key locations.  Linked below are examples from Chichester, Reading and Walsall.

If you agree that something needs to be done about this now-yearly problem, please help by signing this petition.
