Marston against Crime will be holding its first community garage trail sale on 10 October to raise funds for the group and for Marston Moretaine.

The fund raising part comes from the garage trail entry fee. It costs £5 to enter you home on the garage trail map. Maps will be on sale for £1.

The government has announced emergency legislation that will help support tenants over the winter months.
