The stunning photographs in the 2021 calendar provide a wonderful record of the parish as it is today. They reflect the beauty of the village, its wildlife and its surrounding landscape. The photographs were taken by local residents and selected by public vote. Wendy Sparrow, the Parish Recorder, has included a history piece entitled ‘Photographers in Nayland’s Past'.
We hope you enjoy them. Proceeds for the Community Council

With the situation changing rapidly over the past few weeks Community spirit has prevailed in Nayland and Wiston.
There are useful local social media groups which offer interesting and useful information including:
As usual residents of our parish excelled themselves when an appeal was circulated for volunteers to assist those who may become isolated or in need to have a prescription collected, an errand run or some shopping; Their details were included in the Community Times.
Another method being used to help others in these troubled times is for willing volunteers to distribute help postcards to their friends and neighbours offering their help and giving their contact details. It is then up to the recipient to make contact should they wish to do so.
The list of Nayland and Wiston volunteers and sheet of these postcards is here.
Also from 1st September concessionary bus pass restrictions will be reinstated (they were relaxed during the Covid-19 lockdown in March)
The bus stops for 784 bus service have been installed on the A134 on Harpers Hill, Nayland - the South bound stop will be on the lay-by approximately at the end of the gardens of numbers 4 & 5 Harpers Hill. The North bound stop will be diagonally opposite this lay-by further up the hill; alongside the Nags Corner wooden barn near the crossing islands on the A134.

Film: For those of you not on social media, or who simply missed it.... as promised in the Community Times, here is the link to a fabulous film featuring Nayland's wonderful scenery and wildlife which was filmed by a local resident, Stuart Howells. Watching this is a real tonic.
There are TWO Public Access Defibrillators now located in Nayland – on the outside wall of Nayland Fire Station and on the outside wall of Nayland Village Hall.
Please familiarise yourself with these locations and let your friends, family and neighbours know too.
Always dial 999 in an emergency, the call handler will know there is a defibrillator nearby and will provide the access code if needed.
‘Minutes matter’ when it comes to a sudden cardiac arrest. Public Access Defibrillators can save vital time whilst waiting for the emergency services to arrive and can dramatically improve a person’s chances of survival when administered within a few minutes.
