At last we were able to have our biannual village meeting back in the church, which was well attended. As usual, traffic was a hot topic and it is now understood that DCC is reviewing its view on 20mph zones, having been very resistant in the past (county wide), so there may be some hope. But don’t hold your breath! However, there is better news about getting a Speed Indicator Device (SID) and if there is anyone who would be willing to give up a little time to help with the speed watch teams, please get in touch with Andy P or Mike Batten. Every little helps, as they say.

The Neighbourhood Watch report reminds us to check our security – are the windows locked? Security lights on and working? Sheds etc. locked? Remember – do not go down the garden and leave the door unlocked. Statistics show that luckily we are a low crime area with the biggest threat actually coming from scams by phone, emails, and fake websites; be very alert to these.

The New Year Annual Walk will be on Sunday 2 January. Meet at Caswell Farm yard at 10.30 am. To newcomers to the village, this is a lovely, guided walk across private land, followed by light lunch back at the farm. Dogs on leads welcome. Please book in with Mike Batten nearer the time for numbers for catering.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
