East Sussex Library: services are under threat, and residents are urged to make their comments to ESCC 14 December. You can see details of their proposals on the village website and at www.eastsussex.gov.uk/libraries. In particular it is proposed that the mobile library service will no longer be provided, which has implications for Westfield residents who do not have access to internet or who find it difficult to travel into Hastings. Please find time to look at the proposals and make any comments

Autumn Village Tidy: It was good to see a large number of children, particularly Westfield Beavers and Cubs, helping to pick up litter last Saturday. It’s a job that should not need doing, so thank you to all involved – and also to Parish Clerk Kate for organising lovely refreshments afterwards.

Westfield Youth Club: is having a jumble sale in the Parish Hall at 1pm tomorrow, 21 October, to raise funds for next year’s fun day. Please bring any jumble to the hall from 11am tomorrow morning, but not large electrical items or giant items of furniture. This is a great opportunity to clear the clutter before Christmas!
