New Blog

In response to those who are missing reports about the Parish Council in the local press I have decided to start a blog because it is easier to quickly dash off information and updates here on a daily basis than it is to send to the local papers to coincide with their print runs.
Hopefully the papers will use this as a source of information so that we can reach as wide an audience as possible.
