ASHWATER Parish Hall has been presented with a £1,000 Community Award from the Tesco Charity Trust. Ashwater Parish Hall Committee aims to provide and maintain a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Ashwater. Since opening five years ago the hall has gone from strength-to-strength and is about to embark on an ambitious new phase involving an extension and children's play area. The hall has a safe grassy play area and the money will be put towards children's outdoor play equipment. For the full report, and a round-up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
