After the Christmas break January was relatively quiet. The new hospital is completed although work continues on the new houses on the Littlecombe estate. This residential construction is likely to carry on for several more years as activity takes place on several phases of the development. On Kingshill Road, work on the timber framed addtion to the old toll house is advancing rapidly with the roof boarding now on and ready for the slates.

In Cam the new Parish Council offices looks very smart with all windows in and internal fitting out taking place. The offices and the associated cafe should provide a good focal point for the village.
