Projects

• Addition of a Village Green - organised by Village Hall Committee and the land kindly donated by Monkton Combe School

• Foot Bridge over the Mill Leat - after a 20 year + absence, thus enabling the footpath to be fully used. Thanks to Parish Council and Colin Hudson from B&NES. This was a Millennium Project. The bridge is unofficially named "Millennium Bridge" A name plaque was added to the bridge in 2012.

• 20mph Speed Limit - through village - organised by Monkton Combe School and Parish Council as a joint venture. Hopefully this will make vehicles slow down when driving through the single tracks and where roads are frequented by school children.

• Lock up - repairs to the Lock up.

• Playground - replacement equipment and new safety flooring (summer 2006)
