Isn’t it nice to see traditional hedge laying going on around our village? The photo shows Emrys Hughes preparing a hedge just out of the village on the Loggerheads Road. Would you like to learn how to do it? Have a word with Emrys.

A new arch bridge of similar appearance and in the same location as the existing bridge will be constructed using stone from the existing bridge. The road alignment will be similar to the current arrangement. A footpath with heritage style bollards to exclude wide vehicles will also be included
and the width restriction over the bridge is to remain in force.
Width. The proposed increased width of the bridge from 2.5m to 2.7m raised concern that the road would be subjected to increased use by heavy goods vehicles despite the legal 6 feet 6 inches restriction remaining. The value of adding a footpath was also questioned. Construction is due to start in early 2009.
Interestingly, like many other people I guess, every time I drive across this bridge I break the law since my ordinary family saloon is 6 feet 7½” wide! Is another 8 inches on the width anything to worry about?
