Beckley

Mrs Deborah Ongley, Beckley Main Street

Bank holiday Monday was the Friends of Beckley Church grand summer fete. Thank you to every body who work hard setting up on the day, giving up their time to help raise money for this village charity.

The subject of loud music has been brought up in conversations in the village. Villagers seem to be suffering especially in the summer when the windows are open. Also sound travels so you may not have any neighbours but it may be heard further than you think. No one minds the odd party, but loud music all night is just not fair on anyone. Please think about the volume before you dance the night away!
