POSTBAG From Margaret Bradley, Bell Lane Has anyone any suggestions how we might be able to persuade the owner of the shop and Post Office to improve his premises? We are fortunate to still have a Post Office in the village and the shop is particularly welcome since Ryan’s has gone. However the state of disrepair and general dilapidated appearance are an embarrassment and seem to be deteriorating daily. I am sure more people would use these facilities if they were more welcoming. From Jackie Fletcher, Secretary to the Trustees The Trustees and Friends of the Millennium Woodland Trust thank all those who gave a donation in memory of Margaret (Peg) Owen for the very welcome sum of £488.28 for the upkeep of Brickfield Spinney. Works are still on-going to improve walk-ways and provide more seating so this donation will give a substantial boost to the project. More trees are always welcome so if you have a self-set native tree in your garden which you would like to donate or any wild flowers and bog plants, then please contact either Jackie on 880910 or Ken on 880401. From Jean Hankin, Welford Road It was with regret that I learnt that, owing to illness, John and Jane Pugh have decided to sell up at Kilworth Wharf and leave us. During their tenure they have worked wonders to improve the appearance of the wharf and the numbers of their clientele. Their departure will be sadly missed by both local ‘ landlubbers’ and passing boaters. I wish them well for the future. From Neil Hankin, Welford Road The little band of workers are to be congratulated on the work done at the Millennium Wood. What a pity none of our local families with young children have taken advantage of it as a picnic site during the school holidays. I regularly walk there and have only once met anyone - a lady with two kiddies and a dog who said that they often visited and considered it to be their ‘own’ nature reserve. Indeed I recently met a young family, new to the village, on the canal towpath who were armed with fishing nets keen to find a pond. They were unaware of the Millennium Wood. Are there others?
