The Estates Management Team has been buzzing — and for good reason! We’re thrilled to announce that our town has been crowned a winner of the Bee Friendly Town Award, thanks to an initiative sparked by the Environmental & Sustainable Travel Committee. Pollinators, especially bees, play a vital role in keeping our environment healthy, and our town has always shown them some love. From the vibrant hanging baskets to planting and habitat-friendly spaces, we’re proud to support our tiny, winged workers. But we didn’t stop there. Education and community spirit are just as important. Our Youth Club got creative, designing eye-catching bee posters to mark World Bee Day, while our magical fairy trail became a hub of fun bee facts, bringing awareness with a smile. Together, we’ve shown that small wings can make a big impact — and so can we.
