Christmas Tree Festival

The Parish Council's entry (Positivitree) into the Fleckney Christmas Tree Festival was a great sucess with over a 130 local residents sending in their comments about what is good about the village. We did not win, but it was hughly rewarding to read all positive comments about the village and what makes it such a good place to live,

The tree is now on display in the Sports Centre.

Here are a selection of the comments::

A big thanks to all the Fleckney churches for all they do for our village including holiday clubs and Sunday school.

“Alive and Kicking” Fleckney Masters Veterans F.C. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

A great place to raise a family. Lovely sense of community and lots to do. In our experience, Fleckney School have been understanding and supportive and know the children well.

A message to Stef for being the football coach who goes above and beyond for our children

All the friendly shop keepers and takeaway workers, make living in Fleckney a lovely experience.

Baby groups provide me with a sanity lifeline!!

Best fish and chips, nice to see a family run place and be served with a smile.

Big big thank you to the pizza man!! Not only delicious pizza but always served with a smile. Shelley. X

Carol singing, nothing nicer than being wrapped up warm on a cold Christmas night feeling part of a community.

Carols on the green is a lovely opportunity for the villagers to get together for a sing song.

Christmas Carol's on the green. Pete.

Community spirit at its best.

Deborah turner is another village gem, she’s also welcomed me from day one & helped me no end with all sorts over the years, she’s a great friend now & is always doing things for others in the village

Den building in Millennium woods

During covid I was shielding and without Fleckney community support I'd have faded away, bringing me medicine, food but most of all a socially distanced smile. The kindness of relative strangers is what makes a village HOME. Thank you ladies, you know who you are.

Each time we go to Millennium wood the den building has progressed, it's wonderful that everyone respects the space and keeps it nice.

Eclectic Community. David

Emma, I love our running group. Genuinely life changing. Thank you running ladies.

Even though Fleckney has grown it remains a close knit community.

Excellent access to the open countryside

Father Philip is a great asset to our community, I love to see him hurrying to the church.

Feeding the ducks! Quack quack!

Fleckney Athletic Junior football club proudly represent Fleckney through out the county. Kind regards Charlie

Fleckney duck pond is nice and very rarely any rubbish.

Fleckney grows on you. It is not the prettiest village, but it is the friendliest.

Fleckney has the best cake maker around.. the extremely talented Hazel Fabris (fabtastic cakes )

Fleckney is what I'd call a "Proper village". Good old fashion values of respect, looking out for one another, and nice manners. Mary

Fleckney village residents are often so willing to give up their own time to volunteer, to help others, to support each other. The village is a supportive kind community, I'm proud to live here.

Fleckney will always be my home. After 47 years I can't imagine living anywhere else. Beautiful countryside but even more beautiful people- from coop staff, library ladies, passers by on the street, neighbours and friends. Fleckney is the village of smiles. B xxx

Fleckney you welcomed me with open arms. I've never known such a friendly village.

Football coaches who are so dedicated in helping our young Fleckney players

From a loving loyal customer.
