Last week, Nathan was invited to meet a group of Carlingcott residents who wanted to share views about their community.

The event, organised by local Parish Councillor Richard Formby and Ross Thompson from Laurel Farm, gave the 25 in attendance a chance to have their say on a wide range of issues, including:

• Activities for children and young people
• Social events
• Flooding
• Planning issues
• Winter gritting

Nathan said: "This was a very positive meeting. People came along to share concerns about winter weather, but also wanted to look for opportunties to work with others to enhance facilities in their village.

I'm grateful to have been invited by Richard and Ross, and look forward to going again in the future."
