Autumn Fun at Mannys!

Many of you will already have made use of the wonderful new facilities at Manny's on Fleece Road. However, it wasn't until Saturday that the extension to his shop was formally opened. For those who missed it, it was great fun with balloon animals made by clowns, our Long ditton resident DJ Ray Rainbow, and some expert face painting.

Whilst the event was great fun, what it signifies is extremely important. Manny has done enormously good work in Long Ditton, keeping community spirit at the core of his business, and offering a real village centre. The opening demonstrates those core values that we need to strive to hold on to amid post office closures and the ever present threats of anti-social behaviour. Manny provides a beacon of hope in our community for the future of our village and for the future of our area.

The Conservative party wish him all the best and will help him to keep our community spirit alive and well.
