Many people have probably seen CCTV working in the village. This is to do with the sewer plant and sewer project. Some individuals have had many questions regarding this project; it is an ancient system and in need of repair. In late June or early July, there will be a meeting regarding the status of the sewer project. The new estimates for households will now be lower than previously thought. An update will be provided when the date for the meeting is set.
