A seaside village painter and decorator who has worked ‘tirelessly’ for the community over the last 12 months has been praised for helping to spruce-up Saundersfoot.

“I would like to thank Bod ( Michael Boddington), who has helped out with the painting of the street furniture around the village and more importantly this winter has taken it upon himself to dismantle the community benches around the village and professionally restore them, to look like new,” said county councillor for the south ward Cllr Chris Williams.

“The two benches outside the Harbwr Bar have been transformed and work is underway to restore the three tired benches opposite Copper Hog in the village centre, before he descends to the benches on the Strand, opposite Spar.”
