A PUBLIC meeting to update the residents of Marhamchurch on the first stage of the plans for their new Community Shop was held at the Bray Institute in Marhamchurch.

There was a "fantastic response" to this meeting with over 100 people attending, say the organisers.

The meeting was opened by Dr Peter Hillenbrand, the chairman of the Marhamchurch Village Shop Steering Group, and Mr John Eaton gave a clear summary of the work already done.
