PARKING IN THE VILLAGE
Please park and drive sensibly when you visit the village, there are now regular speed checks in the areas and parking checks on all days of the week, including evenings. Don't risk a £30/£60 fine for the sake of a few minutes walk. The double yellow lines are there for a reason; to provide sufficient space for pedestrians and vehicles to coexist in safety and to allow the bus service to reach the village, thank you.

VILLAGE ROAD CLOSURE

The road through the lower village will be closed at time from 7th - 10th April 2008 for filming.

KEEP YOUR DOORS LOCKED, BACK AND FRONT
The owner of a house in Upper Combe recently found an intruder in their kitchen, obviously intent on a thieving expedition. He had entered by the unlocked back door, but on discovery took to his heels, nothing having been taken. This took place in the evening with the house occupied. Other reports of such criminal activity are known. Be warned. Keep your doors locked, even though you are in the house,
