Thank you everyone! 478 Poppies so far.

Thank you everyone! 478 Poppies so far.

The second year of our community poppies project is well underway and we are looking to double the amount of railings covered in knitted and crochet poppies for Remembrance. Please ask us for a pattern if you are able to help us out.

A big thank you to everyone who has been creating knitted and crochet poppies to be displayed in Spa Road for Remembrance. You have generously made 478 poppies already!! That’s at least ten extra railings filled to add to the ones we displayed last year. We would love to receive as many more as possible please. Thank you Hockley, what wonderful community spirit!

April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.

More households are reassessing space in early 2026. If your home feels tighter than it once did, this spring may offer the right conditions to move up.

With mortgage rates steadier and spring listings emerging, March 2026 offers buyers a balanced window before peak competition intensifies.
