VILLAGE HALL: The more observant people in the village will have noticed the scaffolding placed around the hall which was erected on Friday and Saturday of last week.
Work commenced on Monday morning of this week with the removing of all the old pan tiles from the roof and should be almost completed by this coming week-end. This will then enable the contractors to commence the checking of the roof timbers before embarking on the task of replacing the new tiles to the roof.
This is the start of renovation or improvement works to the hall which the Village Hall Committee has been organising for some considerable time. The improvements will be carried out in various stages and residents will be kept informed as to the progress of the works at regular intervals.
