Considering Friday’s Government’s announcement, the Blue Bell is now closed with immediate effect.

The Blue Bell General Manager Chris Lock has resigned from his position for family reasons, which we fully understand.

During this uncertain time a group of villagers have got together to support those who are unable to get out and need help with getting groceries or medicines etc.

The group organising the Post Office search have decided that we need to raise awareness of the vacancy.
