Has your cat gone AWOL?

I recently received this message from a Holcot resident:

If anyone knows where this lovely little lady normally resides, please contact Kim by email at kimmabbutt@hotmail.co.uk

URGENT UPDATE (due to editor’s frazzled brain cells…)

Road closure between Holcot crossroads and Back Lane; Wednesday 27 May through to (possibly) Monday 1 JUNE (not, as in previous post, ‘July’!).

I’ve had a chat to the team who are working on site and they tell me that the pipe-laying work is meant to be finished by end-of-play on Friday 29 May (NOT 31 May). If not, it will overlap into Monday 1 June (NOT Monday 1 July).

[I was telling someone the other day “I have never kept a diary; I’m just not a diary person.” This chaos is what results… – really sorry, guys.] :0(

Roadworks; Poplars Lane, Holcot; 26 May to 28 May

Quick reminder that Poplars Lane will be closed tomorrow morning and remain closed for three days.

Poplars Lane residents will hopefully enjoy a short period of calm – nice. While those living on Main Street and Sywell Road will no doubt enjoy the increased volume of traffic passing their front doors…

Oh joy.

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, 6 June 2026; 2.00pm

Come and join Martin and Hayley to help celebrate their 10 years at The White Swan.

There’ll be live music from three bands: Brighton Riot; Barn Lane; and HOBO – alongside hot food and cool drinks. So plenty of opportunity then for Bacchanalian revelry and drunken debauchery (well, you gotta live in hope).

The celebrations will start at 2.00pm-ish and end sometime before Sunday…

More details to follow soon.
