DEB Criddle’s golden postbox has helped to put Trull on the map, parish council chairman Jo Wooldridge said.

Over 100 people met Deb at the postbox earlier this month and Mrs Wooldridge said it was lovely for the village.

She said: “There was a constant stream of people and Deb was amazed by the exceptional turnout.

"We’re very proud of her and the fact that for the next year we’re the only place in Somerset with a golden postbox.”
