Mayor Ellard, commented:
“I was delighted to cut the ribbon at Devonshire Homes’ Wincanton site to mark the opening of Dancing Green and the addition of high quality new homes for our town. It’s great to see the building works advancing so well, with completed houses now out of the ground and the site really coming together, quite a transformation from the original site!”
