AT LAST!

"Open Sesame!"


 
This was the scene at the Hanging Chapel earlier this week as tribes from The Hill and Bond's Pool gathered to see the medieval gateway re-opened after months and months of repair work.

The move has been widely welcomed especially by the One Stop convenience store where takings are already creeping back up.

"We think Portland Road and Courtfield drinkers have been parking the car at the bottom of St Mary's Park and running across the rec' to Tesco to get their wine since the spring" said a spokeswoman, "but now they can drive their traditional route through the chapel, scrape the pillars outside the Langport Arms and come down to us again"

Several people from across Langport and Huish and indeed across the country have been reacting to the news....sending Carry On Langport their messages.

Let's take a look at some of them....

Here's what we've had so far:
