With the election over we can
settle down to a fun packed
and hopefully sunny summer.
Congratulations to Mark
Lancaster and Debbie Brock
for their amazing results. Hope
you both carry on the good
work.
June has always been a month
with plenty of local events to
occupy ourselves with and this
year is no exception, the
choice is fantastic, the mag is
full of things to do for every
member of the family; and all
on your doorstep!
Now that we have elected our
local officials, it's time to
support our local businesses;
there are a wide variety of them
out there and they need our
help and support, especially in
the coming months. Local
businesses are the lifeforce of
the area we live in and help
provide the uniqueness we
enjoy.
