Alderton Village Newsletter - October 2024

Note from Editor:
We’ve just had some dreadful rainstorms in the last week of September. Sadly some houses on School Road and Blacksmiths Road had water come in on Thursday night. Thanks go to the team of stalwarts who cleared drains, offered pumps, brought buckets, sandbags and worked til the early hours ensuring everyone was safe. This is the wonderful community spirit of Alderton in action. 

Talking of community spirit…..it’s going to be Halloween at the end of the month. This is always a big event in Alderton and goes really smoothly. Our children have grown up knowing that a pumpkin display in windows/by a front door means the person inside is happy to be ‘Trick or Treated’. Don’t make your gangs too big, younger children need to be accompanied by adults and please wear reflective items and have torches. It is lovely seeing and hearing the children around the village out and enjoying themselves. Kids do be considerate though, some older people can feel very intimidated even if you don’t mean to.
