So when asking for suggestions of who to interview next for our LeckhamptonOnline meets feature, Matt Birch was a name that cropped up a few times. You may know Matt as the Landlord of The Brown Jug, or you may know him as a key member of Bath Road Traders Association (BaRTA). Either way, he’s a man in the know and worth having a chat with. Please meet Matt.
By the way, Bath Road Traders Association have recently produced a discount voucher leaflet full of offers and deals to be used in shops in Bath Road. You may already have had one posted through your door, and you can also pick them one up from many shops in Bath Road. And whilst you’re at it, why not treat yourself to fab new BaRTA canvas shopping bag? Just £2.99 available from COOK, The Brown Jug and other shops on the Bath Road. It’s all about keeping it local.

If you live in Leckhampton you should be aware of the gentle army that is LEGLAG.
LEGLAG (Leckhampton Green Land Action Group) is continually striving to protect the green field areas in Leckhampton from inappropriate, large-scale development. LeckhamptonOnline met with Kit Braunholtz, Chairman of LEGLAG to talk about the ongoing fight and what Leckhampton can do to help.
