“I grew up in Leigh. I haven’t lived here for 20 years but I’m looking at moving back. It’s a great place to bring up children with great outdoors and beaches. It’s a really community orientated place too, and there’s a lot of nostalgia for me here.”

“I’ve lived at Matheson Bay for about 25 years and both my boys went to school in Leigh. I love the diversity of the village and the fact that people choose to live here because they love it. It’s a very social and open-minded community, where people mix regardless of their age. The harbour also gives the village a very special perspective.”

“Leigh is essentially a fishing village so there is always going to be a place for a shop like this. As the village develops, I hope it happens alongside the natural beauty of the environment here, rather than introducing something from outside that is based on spin and marketing. Leigh is a place with a big heart and we need to hold on to that.”
