NORTH Petherton Town mayor, Cllr Alan Bradford, and the mayoress, Janet Bradford, visited Stockmoor Lodge Care Home just prior to Christmas, armed with a plentiful supply of chocolates and oranges for the residents, who just happened to be enjoying their Christmas party at the time.

Cllr Bradford said: “We were very impressed with Stockmoor Lodge. We had the opportunity to meet many of the residents and staff. There was a very happy atmosphere and we are grateful to the manager, Barbara Lee, for taking the time to show us around.”
