© Somerford Keynes Parish Council and Contributors 2011-2 Are you looking for Lower Mill Estate? Note that the holiday estate is not in the village, but to the south of the Spine Road. There is no direct road out of the village to the estate.  Clear directions are given here. Warning, your SATNAV should not be trusted, unless it accepts a full 6 digit postcode, in which case you should use that given on your rental instructions, as experience shows that many people using satnav arrive in the village and wonder why they cannot find their holiday home.

A3 maps can be downloaded from the waterpark trust website The Newspaper story  We have no shops and only one  pub. Have you thought about how  your newspaper arrives? Once  upon a time we did have a shop,  where the “Old Post Office” is  now. When it closed Gill Abbots-  Darbyshire took on the papers. At  that time her husband was  licensee of the Bakers Arms.  When they left the pub, the  Village Hall stepped in to provide  a home for delivery. Over the  years the numbers of young  people has fluctuated. We  currently have several paper  boys/girls who do the delivery, but  in the past and perhaps the  future, volunteers have also  delivered.   Volunteers do the marking up on  Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays  to give Gill a break. Nicky Paton  861634 currently organises the  rota. With enough volunteers an  early rise is not required very  often. We are looking for more  helpers- those of you who are still  working are very welcome to do  Sundays only. All payments due  to the volunteers go to charity, the  charities are changed from time  to time. If you want papers delivered, ring  Gill. If you would like to volunteer  for markup duties, ring Nicky.  Thanks.  Local Services Cirencester Mobile Beauty Qualified Beauty Therapist available to visit you in your own home.
