This one seems to have conveniently slipped under the radar of local news. The entire village of #Littlebredy near #Bridport #Dorset is being evicted after the anonymous new owner bought the estate last autumn.

@cl3mcg Thanks! I've almost certainly got a ยฃ20k grant (yes, MUCH less than the minimum ยฃ2.7m Go-op are trying to raise) to pilot the new community bus service. I just need to convince #Bridport Town Council to accept the money on our behalf (our small community org didn't pass the financial due diligence tests because the grant is more than our turnover) ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™
