OUR VILLAGE
The Tidy Towns thank all who came out to help with the village clean up last Monday evening.
Now a lovely little village, a big change from the rows of rusty wire fencing along the roads from the 1950’s and 60’s.
We also thank all who made a contribution towards the church gate collection last weekend.
The annual running costs for a village of our size are large but it’s good to hear of the praise from people who visit us for social and religious events.
