Village homes project to expand
Permission has been granted for four additional low-rent homes to be built in Pilton, Somerset.

Glastonbury Festival organiser and Pilton farmer Michael Eavis has already supported the building of 18 of the houses for local people in the village.

The homes are built on land donated by Mr Eavis for the project and are constructed from stone dug out of Worthy Farm.

"This is by far the thing I'm most proud of that I do," said Mr Eavis.
