Dunkirk is a 2017 war film written, directed, and produced by Christopher Nolan that depicts the Dunkirk evacuation of World War II.

- At a meeting of the Sheet Association on 3rd October, HGVs in Village Street. speeding, parking and planned improvements were discussed, in the light of the responses from EHDC, Cllr Oppenheimer and the PC (the matters having being raised at the September Parish Council Meeting).
