Editorial


As we start to emerge from Covid restrictions It’s obvious that many villagers have been busy catching up with domestic tasks as well as creating magnificent gardens. I’ve included some of the photos I’ve received but there are more to be found on the Link’s website. I have also have reports of kindness and support which has enabled more vulnerable members of the community to cope during the pandemic. We are now starting to see the beginnings of life returning to normality. The Red Lion will be operating again from 4th July, albeit in a somewhat different way. This will be a crucial time for them so I would encourage everyone to support them, as a pub is a key part of any community. Remember the slogan: ‘Use it or lose it!’
The progress we’ve seen at the Nook is truly impressive and I’d like to congratulate all those who have made it happen. Again, it will be important that it is used to capacity.
You will also read about the many improvements made to the Village Hall by our Parish Council. It is a huge asset for Needham and it will be good to see it fully operational soon.

I’m sure that many people will be mourning the loss of Ellen White (reported opposite) whose long and purposeful life was an inspiration to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.There will be many challenges ahead but, as we’ve shown recently, we can survive and thrive when we all work together
