Andrew MacPherson, chair of local charity the Coddenham Centre, said the way the village s “vibrant community” has come together during Covid-19 is an inspiration.
He is looking forward to the centre fully reopening under the government’s roadmap, and it is offering 20 different activities – ranging from tennis, lawn bowls and badminton to yoga and Pilates.
