What will you remember from 2025?

Our local news team looks back on the year in which buildings and businesses in Lavant Street were affected by fire, a row erupted over the closure of the Rowan Ward, volunteers knitted thousands of poppies and local primary school children published a recipe book.

The programme was recorded in the Tropper Inn at Froxfield and edited by Stephen Martin.
