What's on and events

New website

The new website is now starting to take shape. More pages will be migrated from the original website in the coming weeks. For the time being we are still concentrating on the incinerator issue and important steps are being taken by your parish council. The old website will still be accessible until the transition is complete. If you would like to be involved in editing the new website please email the editor.
