- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.

Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.
He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

I have acquired an oil portrait of a local lady painted by T Robone in 1967, ie. some 54 years ago so in my opinion this lady would be 74+ years old now. If anybody recognises her or can put me in touch with her family so I can return the portrait I would be very appreciative. Thank you.
