Volunteers have been busy again this summer watering the tubs that brighten the pavements in the village. Several of the containers are ageing, falling apart and need replacing. The CVA is grateful to Elmbridge Borough Councillor Mary Marshall, who has donated some of her councillor’s funds to provide seven new ones.

The new tubs have been delivered, but replacing them is time-consuming. It involves removing the plants and soil and the bricks that are below the soil, and then putting everything back into the new tub. The whole operation takes about an hour and is easier with three people. Anyone who could spare an hour to help replace one is asked to email claygateresidents@gmail.com
