Local access to the village is via an unclassified road (known locally as the C31), which is now approved for gritting in the winter along its entire length by the local council.

A local One Stop Shop was officially opened on Saturday 8 March 2008, which is situated in Barnwell Court. A hairdressers and nursery is also in the court. With office spaces, restaurant and take away spaces still available for rent.
