VEF commissioned Jim’s Woodcraft to build a table and bench set for young children, to occupy the space vacated by the phone box in the town square. Marc, dad Ernie and a friend kindly installed it. The bench is proving popular with children with ice creams from Crave!
A small team made a fantastic job of repairing, rubbing down and painting our telephone box at The Grove.
