Jacob Rees-Mogg cuts the ribbon for Batheaston's New Village Hall

Yesterday was a big day for Batheaston as the building work for the long-awaited new village hall began. After 60 years of use, the much loved old hall had to be demolished. Since then, the village has worked hard to raise the funds needed to bring back Batheaston's community hub. They have managed to raise £500,000 but still need to raise £200,000 to hit the final target. To read more about plans for the hall and to donate please visit: https://www.batheastonhall.org/
