The Christmas lights are going up outside several homes and business premises in Hemyock as the annual competition run by the Parish Council gets under way. There is still time for people to participate says Parish Council Chairman Heather Stallard as there a couple of weeks to go before the judge makes a decision. This year the judge is being supplied by the Police Station at Cullompton. It should of course be our local Beat Manager says Heather but as we still don’t have one we are very grateful that the Station is providing an officer to participate.
