The village must do all it can to encourage new young families to move into the village, build more affordable houses if it helps keep village facilities open. The Post Office and shop have been lost already the school and The Crown must be supported.

This is about giving young people the very best education possible. Big has never been better in education, parents pay a lot of money to guarantee a small class size where pupils get individual attention in private schools. Massive schools in central London would beg on their knees for the natural resources of a field to walk in or space to grow up as a child. This is the most important resource we have don't waste it.
