Lots going on in November with Christmas events getting underway.
We made a real effort to publicise November’s PACT meeting. There were a few more people than normal and they told me it was really interesting.
Residents were invited to complete a survey about issues in the village and we presented the results. The Chair of the Community Council attended to tell us about their meeting with the cement company. Minutes from this meeting will be published on the Community Council website.
Have you filled in our #TonPACT survey? Tell us what concerns you have. And please RT! https://t.co/gE2zoAX03Y pic.twitter.com/AmX4iX5Av8

Beautiful Autumn light in the Instagram shot.
We reported on the launch of a new fragrance brand by Castell Apothecary. Wales Online picked up the story and they got some good national coverage.

We set ourselves a target of getting 10,000 views of this post to try and stop people getting stuck in the village. We made it! People still got stuck though…
We’ve added some new items to our shop.
We've added a new design to our shop. Get it on a tote bag ready for your Christmas shopping! https://t.co/Meu9kkhXVi #LoveTon pic.twitter.com/c1IsOJEUxi
