“So far this year, the Town Council has given grants to local associations of almost £5,000 to support local initiatives which will benefit all age groups.

“The Christmas Lights Switch-on was a success with more stalls than last year and many of the town’s folk coming out to join in the festivities.

“We will now build on the success to make next year even better with improved lights and more entertainment.

“New play equipment for the children’s play area at the Recreation Ground has been ordered and will be in place by the end of February. This is only the start, and more equipment and repaints are to follow.
