Your Town Council is concerned about fuel poverty in the town. With rising
gas, electricity and oil prices, and with the Winter months approaching and
a pretty cold Summer, we felt we could do some more to help people.

When it came to the consultation on street names
for the new estate on the London Road, the Planning Committee
looked at several themes and decided on lace.
Apart from any other consideration a couple of dozen related names
