• New outlook

To improve security, and give a better view of the Library building from the road/footpath, the County Council Forestry Department agreed to our request to have two large bushes removed.

Using recycled tin cans and some bamboo canes, they have created some ‘houses’ for bugs and mini beasts (pictured above).

These have been distributed to many local residents, who have placed them in their gardens.
