Greetings!
Now Christmas has passed, everyone is making New Year's resolutions and looking forward to the start of 2013.
If you would like to take on a new project this New Year and you own a business in Ashurst or Milford on Sea, could your business become a Local Information Point?
Or if your New Year's resolution is to become more 'green' read about how The Mill at Gordleton has embraced renewable technologies.
