At the new village hall site, the project progresses, albeit steadily, towards the construction phase. Summary: village hall costs cut to match funds, affordable housing still in limbo.

In the previous issue, the project was pleased to report that it had issued invitations to tender to several building contractors for the construction phase for the new village hall and the affordable houses. That process has gone well and each of the five contractors approached has submitted quotes for consideration.
