Westfield News: The news that Westfield News would be closing from March 5 came too late for last week's Village Voice. Newspaper deliveries are being taken over by another firm, with Richard, Dan and most of the team carrying out the actual deliveries, but the shop will be sadly missed. Richard and Dan have always been a very helpful part of our community, and we thank them for their help in the past and wish them well for the future.

Westfield Spring Tidy: A huge thank you to the thirty-plus volunteers, including quite a few children, who came out on last Saturday to help with the Village Spring Tidy. They managed to fill about twenty bags with all sorts of rubbish from a really old transformers toy to a tent! They also cleared a lot of branches that had come down in the Recreation Ground and Churchyard during the recent storms.

Services at Westfield Parish Church: on Sunday are Holy Communion at 8am and Morning Praise at 10am. The weekly Lent meetings continue in the church each Wednesday at 7.30pm, so come to any meeting for praise, prayer and Bible study. The new boiler is working, so services are back in a nice warm church after two months of meeting in the hall.
