EAST Brent Pre-school was celebrating this week after receiving a cash boost from a Somerset County Councillor.

Brent division's Cllr Alan Ham used part of his Community Initiatives Grant to help the group buy a filing cabinet for documents and general storage.

"As a parent and grandparent, I do appreciate the great value of pre-school nursery education for the youngest members of our community," he said.

"The dedication of parents and staff who run these facilities is to be greatly commended ensuring that young children get the best possible start in life. I am delighted to have been able to assist this group."
