COMMUNITY wardens: No doubt you will have heard about them, even if you haven't met them.

I have had to make contact with them on one or two occasions and have found them to be very friendly and helpful.

They are able to deal with quite a few matters of concern to local people and can be a very good intermediary when dealing with problems.

They can be contacted on 01256 845508.

THE Vyne Community School: Has a very comprehensive programme of events, with something for everyone.

For more information about courses or activities, call 01256 407037.
