🗣 Community Connect - Thank You 🗣
Thank you to all those who attended our Community Connect event last week.
We spoke to residents about a number of local issues, including speeding in the village, the pedestrian crossing on the Old Bath Road, the proposed development of the former Prince Bros site, cycleways and plans to refurbish the playground at East Park Farm.
A special thank you to all our stallholders who came along to talk to residents about local groups and clubs.
We would also like to thank all those who brought along donations to the Woodley Foodbank. These ended up filling 7 carrier bags!
