Traditionally, St George’s Day is celebrated on April 23 – historically known to be the date of the saint’s martydom. According to legend, St George slayed a dragon and he is revered as a patron saint in England. St George’s Day, also called the Feast of St George, is a feast day for countries and Christian churches around the world. King Edward III made St George the Patron Saint of England when he formed the Order of the Garter in St. George’s name in 1350.

The project, which the party says would be backed by British clean-tech innovation and private sector investment, will convert up to 100,000 tonnes of household waste per year into carbon-negative hydrogen and clean by-products, which Reform say will offer a pioneering approach to energy, agriculture and infrastructure.

The proposal is to change the use of a section of land it owns from residential gardens to community recreational use. This, if approved, will extend the existing car parking area to around 30 extra spaces. Access will be via a private access drive directly off The Linney. This, the club says, has been in use for many years without issue for either motor vehicles or team coaches, the latter using the existing car park for, at most, 12 to 14 times a season.
