Some say that Santa had an Irish twang this year; maybe he had his summer holiday in the Emerald Isle! A somewhat breathless Santa said that he had met and given gifts to over sixty children in the afternoon. By all accounts he was the most popular feature of the show. "Lovely to see you in Derry

After months of campaigning local lads have achieved their aim of getting some 'proper' goal posts on Petty Acre. About nine months ago the lads approached a local parish councillor for help to get the goal posts erected. They said that they we're being getting blamed for damaged fencing along the side of Petty Acre and if they could have posts in the middle of the area this was less likely to

Plans put forward by the WCC to make the A4 safer between Chippenham and Derry Hill have been aired in the local press this week. The 50MPH limit coming out of Pewsham is to be extended to roughly where the Saab garage is.
