Hampshire County Council have agreed to allocate funds to various road and signage projects to improve safety.

We are still seeking more volunteers to help design, construct and plant up the garden. We are looking for keen gardeners, budding designers and those who are handy with a spirit level; as well as children who would like to take part! all are welcome!

The Parish Council would like the residents of Farringdon to feel that it is their garden so we really need your input and ideas.
