    After the failure of Castlemas Ltd to pay some suppliers, including TMBC, we have written to the company's directors informing them that we will not host future events with which they are involved. We are hoping to find a new event for Christmas 2023 and will keep you updated.
    Text of a letter to the directors of Castlemas Ltd from Robert Styles, Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical services.

Extract: Due to the current outstanding debts and the consequential impact of your event locally, we as a Council will not permit you to use our land for any future events even should you clear your outstanding debts.  As you aware there remains some invoices to the Council for the 2022 event. We expect to be paid in full too, being taxpayers money.

    We are asking for private sector landlords with good quality accommodation, which could help to house Afghan refugees, to get in touch, as we join the national effort to offer sanctuary to Afghan nationals forced to flee their homeland. orlo.uk/gPBEi

    Thanks to a local resident who took photos of people unloading bags of rubbish from their car in Common Road in the North Downs, we were able to track down the culprits and issue a fine of ยฃ400. Fly tipping is an anti-social crime. Report it here: orlo.uk/z1PKk
