Over the next couple of years communities like our own will have a much bigger part to play in helping to decide and shape the future of where we live, work and play. We will be empowered to 'do things our way' and help make our village economically sustainable and socially vibrant. This will not be easy because much of Local and Central Government will be reluctant to change and accept a rapidly changing landscape.

They will have no alternative.

Many Civic Societies are steeped in tradition and have been reluctant to embrace change and whilst historical heritage is very important, we are looking very much to the future by helping to establish a community environment that will 'stand the test of time'.

If you are not a member of the Society I hope that having spent a short time reading who we are and what we do, you might be tempted to join. In which case please visit the 'Members' page for further details.

If you are a member then please take the time to read about all the things that we as a Society are doing on your behalf and on behalf of the village as a whole.

Jim Robinson

Chairman.
