Development hell
The village hall is at the heart of so much that goes on in the village - I feel very strongly that the so-called "Action Group" grossly misled the most vulnerable people in the village and that many people who voted did NOT understand fully what they were voting for or against – the wording on the voting slip was quite misleading.
This group has now disbanded, claiming victory!
The abandonment of the proposed extension is very short-sighted – even in these difficult economic times we should still look to the future.

On September 21 we need everyone to attend the Village Hall Foundation meeting. We need the support of the whole community if the village hall is to remain open. We also need people to come forward to become members of a new committee – with no-one to run it there will be no alternative but to close the hall. To date, it has been one of the most successful village halls in the country. Please help us to continue providing this valuable asset to the community.
