We’re incredibly proud to hear how an invitation to speak to our pupils at Wendron School became the starting point for a much bigger story. Pete from Harbour Lights and Fraser’s Fish and Chips reflects on how that visit inspired a commitment to sustainability that now runs across all of their restaurants.

🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT – PLEASE READ 🚧

Good evening everyone,

You may already be aware that the main road near Wendron School (by Amos Pumps) is currently closed and it is thought that it will remain closed until Wednesday.

There is a small chance that temporary traffic lights may be put in place instead of the full closure, however we have not been able to confirm this at the moment.

Either way, surrounding lanes including Rowe’s Lane are already experiencing very heavy traffic, and we expect significant congestion tomorrow morning.

🚗 Please allow extra time for your journey
⚠️ Please take extra care on the smaller lanes, which are likely to be much busier than usual.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Tash Williams.
