Popular and Best bits for 2010

TRADITIONALLY AT NEW YEAR we look back at what has been achieved in the old year.

The Hedon Blog probably ‘grew up’ during 2010 and – rather than just being a hobby blog – it became a website that local people began to use in greater numbers to find out information about their home town.
