Measham Messenger May 2016 Next issue published week beginning 20th June 2016 MEASHAM MESSENGER Email: [email protected] Canal Project Officer Retires MAY 2016 Friday 13 th May saw an official ‘leaving celebration’ for Ashby Canal Project Officer, Geoff Pursglove. The celebration was held at ‘The Globe’ – Snarestone and was attended by many colleagues, friends and acquaintances. Inside this issue: Geoff took on the role of Canal Project Officer in 1994, appointed by Leicestershire Canal Project Officer 1 County Council to oversee restoration. He was based in Measham Community Retires Office (now Measham Business Centre) and his work, passion and enthusiasm over twenty plus years for the canal restoration was tireless. This enthusiasm has seen Geoff presented not once but twice with the ‘Inland Waterways Companion Award’ Meashm Parish 3 Council Column in 1999 and 2006. He has also appeared or been behind the scenes when television shows such as ‘Everything Must Go’ and ‘Waterworld’ not to mention local news programmes have featured the project; all publicity for the cause. Snippets of News, 5 Information and Appeals It has always been the aim (still is) to bring the canal back from Snarestone to Measham and but for circumstances beyond control and budget funding cuts (2006) St. Charles Primary 8 I am sure that by now that aim would have been a reality. In 2005 a Transport and Raise Money for Cafod Works Act Order was finally passed (the first for a canal) to bring the canal to Measham but as mentioned above funding cuts have made this a slow process with Youth Club - Open 9 fund raising/grants having to be applied for from alternative sources. The project Letter launced a scratch card scheme in 2008 as an innovative idea to raise funds. It shouldn’t be forgotten that every year there is a Canal Festival (to promote and Medical Unit Back 10 raise funds) at Moira and that Geoff has worked hard behind the scenes to promote Page this event. He has also attended and spoken at numerous (to many to count) consultations and public/private ‘talks’. However work at Snarestone has been active with restoration commencing in The Measham February 2009 (A ceremony was held to mark this event). Indeed by 2010 there was Messenger is a 100m of water and by September 2014 a ¼ of a mile was completed. Everything is free publication. in place to go (would take a minimum of 5 years) that one step further and navigate onto Measham and that intention was re-instated in November 2015, not least by Please take and North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen. It remains to be seen if the canal keep a copy. will eventually flow on our doorsteps (not literally I hope) and I know so much initial promise as rather been dubbed down but Geoff has always championed the cause and I know will be disappointed that his time within the village as not delivered Measham back it’s canal YET. Best wishes to Geoff on his retirement which I am sure will be active and filled with Articles for the canal pursuits, not least the publication of a book about the Ashby Canal entitled ‘ November Messenger Ashby Canal, Past, Present & Future’ -Details in a future issue). should be submitted to Measham Community Report compiled by Charlotte Westhead Office no later than Co-Editor Friday 10th June. Issue will be published week beginning 20th June.

MEASHAM MESSENGER Page 7 Page 8 MEASHAM MESSENGER St. Charles Catholic Primary School Raise Money For Cafod During Lent, the children of St Charles Catholic Primary School raised money for Cafod’s: “Make a Splash” appeal which has focussed on improving water facilities. Children from every class held a cake sale each week – there were many lovely cakes baked and eaten during this time! All children also took part in a sponsored event; these included a sponsored swim, an underwater walk around the village, water relays, a bunny hop and a soak the teacher event! At the end of term we held an Easter Raffle where staff donated a variety of Easter prizes. Over the Lenten period we managed to raise an amazing £950. Mrs Elmore, Headteacher at St Charles commented: “I am so proud of our children, they have worked really hard raising money during the last few weeks and have also learned lots about how this money will help those less fortunate than us around the world. Its incredible to think that some people are unable to access fresh water on a daily basis; hopefully the money we have raised will go towards improving the lives of others.” Youth Club Schedule MEASHAM MESSENGER Page 9 Below is an open letter from youth workers, Dawn Christian and Angela Peach who unfortunately have some bad news re the Thursday night Youth Club.

    Ashby Canal Restoration Snarestone to Measham BUSINESS PLAN SUMMARY Leicestershire County Council Community Services Department May 2006 The Ashby Canal Restoration Project This project is to restore the Ashby Canal from its current terminus at Snarestone northwards for a distance of 4.5 km to a new canal wharf at Measham (Map 1). The power to acquire the necessary land and to construct and maintain the canal was provided in October 2005 when the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed the Leicestershire County Council (Ashby de la Zouch Extension) Order made under the powers of the Transport and Works Act 1992. In making the Order the Secretary of State noted that the scheme is consistent with national, regional and local policies, would contribute significantly to regeneration objectives and would produce considerable economic, environmental and social benefits. History The Ashby Canal was completed in 1804 and connected Moira in north western Leicestershire to the Coventry Canal at Bedworth. It was used primarily to carry coal from the Ashby Woulds mines to markets in the Midlands and the South. The northern reaches of the canal were closed between 1944 and 1966 due to mining subsidence but in recent years the feasibility of restoration has been established and is strongly supported by local communities as a means of regeneration. The project will follow on from the successful restoration (1999 – 2005) of over 2km of the Ashby Canal between Donisthorpe and Moira at ‘The Heart of the National Forest’. This award-winning length hosts the annual Moira Canal Festival, and in conjunction Left: Moira Furnace before restoration The proposed canal - Measham Station (c1950) Below: Moira Furnace after restoration (May 2006) 2 3 with the adjacent Moira Furnace Museum and Conkers (the National Forest Discovery Centre) is a popular leisure destination throughout the year.
