Lamppost
Restoration
The Parish Council is currently employing contractors to restore and repair the traditional lampposts in the village. This operation is being phased between 2023 and 2025. Without Parish Council involvement, these lampposts would either have remained in disrepair, been removed or replaced with generic alternatives not in keeping with the aesthetics of Dunham Massey.
