Rural housing is often overlooked when talking about the need for new affordable homes. Did you know that..

It's hard to believe the new Berryfield hall has only been up and running for 2 years. The volunteer team that manage the hall have installed air conditioning recently which will be run from electricity generated from the solar panels

There are several village halls in the parish of Melksham Without and we will be spotlighting each one this week.
They are all run by members of the community, for members of the community so please do try and support them.
