Community Events
Coming in February, we look forward to welcoming you to our free community treasure hunt!
Thank you to our amazing community who joined us at Salfords Village Hall for the Christmas lights being switched on Friday the 29th of November. We were honoured to have Revd Canon Dr James Rosenthal (Father Jim) to switch on our lights. Thank you to Emma, Sarah and Neha for running the Christmas stalls and to the fantastic A2Z Flute Choir for providing the music.
Gold Quality Award
The National Association of Local Councils (NALC), has accredited Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council with the Quality Gold Award. for the Local Council Awards Scheme. We submitted our application in May.
Receiving the Quality Gold Award is an excellent achievement showing that our local parish council achieves good practices in governance, community engagement and council improvement. Furthermore, this award shows that our council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations; we lead our community and continuously seek opportunities to improve and develop even further.
We are very proud of this achievement and plan to continue to develop and work with our community to obtain the best outcomes for what is wanted in our villages.

Tree Charter
Since 2019, The Parish Council has planted over 400 trees in Salfords and Sidlow. These have come from the Woodland Trust, Surrey County Council and purchased by ourselves. Trees have been planted on Pear Tree Hill, Salfords Social Club, Monotype Sports and Social Club, Salfords Primary Schoo, Christ the King Church, Westvale Park roundabout on A217 and also in residents garden.
We are seeking your help in identifyingother areas where we can plant trees. Perhaps a roadside verge outside your house or common or other open areas in Salfords and Sidlow.
We still have more work to do on this but are thinking about enabling residents to dedicate and record their tree dedication and location in a ‘Parish Tree Register’, perhaps for a new born relative or to commemorate someone who has passed away. Future generations may then be able to see our legacy.
An ideal would be a dedicated area where we could plant multiple trees that could be looked after for two years. Perhaps you would or know someone who would be willing to allocate some land?
We live in a beautiful parish with much greenery and trees to enjoy, however as we know, trees are increasingly vital to our environment and planting more can only be a good thing!
If you are interested in any of the above, please contact the Clerk.
