BUS passengers will no longer have to stand in the rain in Dumbleton now the village has a shelter.
Constructed from oak and Cotswold stone, the Main Street shelter was built to mark the turn of the century. It cost £5,200, with money donated from Lord Hambro, the Hon Mrs J Leigh Fermor and the Dumbleton Estate.
The shelter was officially opened earlier this month by the two youngest members of the village school, Oakhill Primary, Kate Hince and Gemma Caswell, both aged four.
David Crook, the village's millennium committee chairman, said: "Dumbleton now has a lasting and fitting commemoration of the millennium and a bus shelter of which it can be proud. I would like to thank Jonathan Reeves, and Robin Carpenter who were the driving force behind the whole project."
