A COMMUNITY exhibition on rural living has been hailed as a success.

The event, which was staged at Great Bromley village hall, attracted more than a hundred people on Saturday.

Organisations including Citizens Advice Bureau, Essex Police, Essex Fire and Rescue, Teen Talk and Manningtree and District Foodbank offered advice to residents.

Fred Nicholls, chairman of Tendring Council’s Rural Projects Panel, said: "The groups were also pleased to be able to get out here and tell some new faces how they can benefit from what they provide.”

The event was put on in partnership with Community Voluntary Services Tendring.
