To celebrate the much needed revamp, Alveston Village Association hosted a coffee, cuppa and cake morning on Saturday with invited guests MP Manuela Perteghella and Cllr Kate Rolfe (Lib Dem, Tiddington).

Tim Hayter, chair of the village association, said: “It was a well attended event and we’ve already had compliments paid to us about the new lights and how nice the Malt House looks. We are able to save up to 70 percent of our energy in the building now.”

A cheque for £2,000 was presented to Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance by the village association with money raised from the summer fete in August. A further donation of £150 was made to Dogs Trust.
