The Higher Town/Turnpike development
Edenstone homes have set up a website showing their proposals for the development between Higher Town and Turnpike (also known in the past as the PlaceLand site or SP2).
They are seeking the views of local residents and you can comment on the plans on their website. We (the Parish Council) would also like to hear your views, so we will put an item on our Facebook page or you can contact us via the contact page

Coronavirus
People are encouraged to continue to take precautions such as using face masks, maintaining social distancing, using hand sanitiser, taking regular lateral flow tests, self-isolating if contacted by track-and-trace and so on. Many shops and hospitality venues are still requesting customers to wear face masks and use hand sanitiser. People who have received two vaccinations can still catch covid and pass it on, so these recommendations are to protect us and those around us.

Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms and get a test as soon as possible. See: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/testing-and-tracing/get-a-test-to-check-if-you-have-coronavirus/
