Three times a year, the Badger Farm and Oliver’s Battery Residents’ Community Association publishes Community News, a newsletter to keep residents up-to-date with what’s happening in Badger Farm and Oliver’s Battery. The newsletter has updates on our area from our MP and local and parish councillors. You can also read the latest from our local schools and churches. Follow the news from the clubs and support groups that meet regularly at the Community Centre and elsewhere in the area. Local residents and organisations share interesting articles on general topics from green issues to wildlife and nutrition to technology.
Volunteers distribute copies to all households in the two parishes. Additional hard copies of the latest edition can be picked up in the Community Centre. You can also download all newsletters in PDF format here.
