Hugh Dempster Estate Agents Close down - May 2007
Our most recent addition to estate agents in the village has closed down. The premises are now being advertised for rent.

Harlequin Players performed their very first play at Freckleton Memorial Hall this weekend. The play was called “Love Begins At 50”, a comedy farce by Raymond Hopkins.
The play was indeed a comedy and the timing of the actors in this farce was brilliant! Members of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the repartee between all of the actors and sympathised in particular with the character of the hen-pecked husband in this story!
This was definitely a successful event not only for all members of the cast but for everyone who participated in making this a great evenings entertainment. Many thanks to the caterers ( the Harlequins themselves!) for providing the unexpected refreshments and buffet.
I will definitely be looking out for their next performance at our village hall and for all of those who missed it, make sure you go to the next one!

Heavy Good Vehicles through the village - 10.02.07
In recent months it has been observed that there is a significant increase in heavy good vehicles passing through the village centre on their way to Naze Lane Industrial Estate. Polytank have applied for a licence to increase the number of vehicles and trailers to their site. There is concern that the access to the site, through the centre of the village, is not suitable for such an increase in heavy vehicle traffic. One of the trucks is reported to have hit a car on Friday morning. Gayle Brown is organising a petition to contest this increase. Please contact her at if you wish to offer your support.
