Tockholes Village Hall Committee will seek nominations for a new chairperson on June 5.

Current chairman Barry Hall has stepped down and anyone living in the village is invited to apply.

Villagers are also encouraged to attend the meeting to support the committee's work in a bid to keep both the village hall and the committee up and running.

Members have drawn up a constitution and are currently applying for charity status to enable them to apply for grants towards community events and activities.
