Bus Shelter Opening – 1 June 2013

Bus Shelter
Grand Opening 1st June 2013-07-19

Since our iconic old bus shelter was destroyed in January 2012 a group of villagers have been working to replace it.  The majority of the work over the next 18 months was done by David Harrison, supported by the Bus Shelter Working Party and others.  So it was wonderful to be able to declare the splendid  edifice open at noon on Saturday 1st June, following the scarecrow competition organised by the Youth Club.

The ribbon was cut jointly by David Harrison and Kate French (on behalf of the young people who had made the Jubilee mosaics inside the shelter) and the Chair of the Parish Council thanked all concerned.  The new seat next to the shelter was then ‘unveiled’ – dedicated to David and Jackie Westcott in recognition of their many years of service to the village.  Around 80 people attended this quite heart-warming event – and the sun shone on us all.  It was a lovely occasion to mark the restitution of a landmark in the village which was valued by many residents.
