ANOTHER TREEMENDOUS YEAR The Rotary Club of Shepshed would like to thank all the Children and Adults who helped to made such exquisite decorations for the 46 trees on display in the elegant St Botolph’s Church in Shepshed.

There were 27 Adult trees and 19 Childrens trees for us all to admire and vote for.

The five Primary Schools, seven Nursery/Toddler Groups, Guides, Scouts, three Brownie Groups and the Girls Brigade made for difficult decisions.

The Adult Trees were brought in from St Botolph’s Church groups, local charitable organisations, businesses, and the Interact Club at Hind Leys College.

SHEPSHED AND DISTRICT CAMERA CLUB As usual at the beginning of December the members of Shepshed and District Camera Club held their Annual Dinner and award presentation at The Greyhound at Burton-on-theWolds.

LOCKDALES AUCTIONEERS PROVIDING FREE VALUATIONS TO THE PUBLIC ON MONDAY 25th JANUARY

MANHEIM AUCTION CENTRE SET TO OPEN IN JANUARY

CLASSICAL “GREATS” FROM THE LOUGHBOROUGH ORCHESTRA

Manheim will open its Shepshed auction centre as its new CV centre of excellence in January 2016, with the first van auction taking place on Monday 11th January. In October, the company announced plans to reopen the centre, and has invested a seven-figure sum to recommission the site.

For their forthcoming winter concert, the Loughborough Orchestra will be playing music which is high on the classical “Hit List”.

The Elgar Cello Concerto is a highly regarded cornerstone of the cello repertoire and its performance by Will Robertson, pictured here, promises to be a treat for the audience.

Will was one of the talented pupils to attend Chetham’s music school before gaining a place to study at the Royal Academy of Music.

The cello that he will be playing is on loan from the Royal Academy and allows his beautiful playing to sing above the orchestra! Will has performed widely in this country and has also travelled as far as Singapore to tour with a Chamber Orchestra. Will is looking forward to playing this famous Concerto with the orchestra.

To introduce the concert will be the melodies of the Karelia Suite by Jean Sibelius. This is a piece which is condensed from “Karelia Music” that Sibelius was commissioned to write. It is based on Finnish folk music and although it was written early in his career, it has a commonality with the nationalistic nature of much of his later compositions. Sibelius became known as Finland’s national composer.

And last, but by no means least, is Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony.

This last of the Tchaikovsky symphonies was probably his favourite and is full of lush melodies.

There are strident tunes which grab attention and follow on from teasing, enigmatic rhythms passing between instruments. Other enchanting moments are better heard and felt than described!

This “must hear” programme is at Trinity Methodist Church Centre, Royland Rd., Loughborough on January 23rd at 7.30pm. Tickets are available via the website www. loughboroughorchestra.org.uk or from members of the orchestra.

A special antiques and collectables valuation event will be taking place soon in your area. The experts of Lockdales Auctioneers will be providing free valuations to the public on Monday 25th January, 11am to 3pm, at The Ramada Jarvis Hotel, 22 High Street, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 2QL (free parking subject to availability).

There will be experts providing valuations on the following types of collectables: Coins (including British & World, sovereigns, Krugerrands, Royal Mint commemoratives & proof sets), stamps, banknotes, medals & militaria, antiques, clocks, watches, jewellery, gold, silver, pre-1900 documents/books & maps, cigarette-cards, postcards, pre-1960 sporting programmes & tickets, scientific instruments, swords, bayonets & de-activated weapons. No appointment is necessary at this event, simply turn up with your items and the valuers will be happy to see you.

Members of the public will have the option, if they wish, to consign their goods to auction (subject to terms & conditions). Cash purchase offers are also available.

Valuations will be provided free of charge, with no obligation. High quality illustrated catalogues from previous auctions will be given away on a complimentary basis in order for the public to get a better idea of the services available.

These valuation days have proven to be very popular in the past, and we have conducted hundreds of them across the UK. Some of the best items we have auctioned were brought to us at these

events, such as two pieces of Russian 17th century enamelled silverware, a bowl and a lidded pot, which we later sold on behalf of the owners for over £75,000.

One of the most interesting items we have sold recently was a fragment of pennant flag believed to have been carried by the army of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. This was featured on television, and in newspapers nationwide. Sold for £2800 as a speculative item, the feeling was strong overall that the story behind the flag is true. It was nice to handle a topical item such as this. (Coins of Richard III do very well also!)

TOP TIPS: The hottest markets for collectables at the moment are those of India, China and Asia in general, so if you have some old coins, stamps, postal covers or banknotes from those places you could be in luck!

Be on the lookout for football programmes dated before 1960.

Those from the 1940s and earlier are the most valuable.

Cigarette Cards from small World War One era manufacturers can be good, particularly those of Taddy. The rarest set of all is Taddy Clowns, which has been known to sell for as much as £15,000.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Lockdales’ Martlesham offices: 01473 627110, sales@ lockdales.com. For further information see our website www.lockdales.com

The UK’s number one commercial vehicle auction company will also be introducing a new arrival process at the Shepshed auction centre, minimising the number of vehicle movements on site.

The vehicles will move from wash and valeting, through inspection and on to imaging before being parked ready for auction in one seamless flow.

While Manheim expects significant physical buyer footfall at Shepshed, which is just one mile from Junction 23 of the M1, it is expected that many of the commercial vehicles sold through the auction centre will be bought by online buyers.

In 2015 so far, 30% of all vans and 65% of all trucks sold by Manheim in the UK have been bought by buyers from the comfort of their own offices or homes.

Tim Hudson, managing director for Manheim Remarketing, said “Manheim Shepshed will be unrivalled as a commercial vehicle auction centre in the UK. As well as the site once again playing a productive role in the local community, it reopening is evidence of our sustained growth and success in the commercial vehicle market, with monthly sales volumes consistently above the previous year, in some cases by more than 50%.”

The first fortnightly truck sale at Shepshed will take place on 21st January in the morning, along with the first monthly plant sale in the afternoon. Vendors selling commercial vehicles at Shepshed will include BT Fleet, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hitachi Capital, Pentagon, Perrys, Royal Mail, Severn Trent Water, The Car Group and Van Monster, along with other vendors which are in the process of confirming their sales with Manheim.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

Advertisement

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Michael Parr feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace

the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done.

We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer

requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service Shepshed & the surrounding area and Michael is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I

get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Michael a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

SHEPSHED SINGERS

GURU SINGH I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Editor of Shepshed and Loughborough Eye for supporting my epic cycling challenge last year when I cycled 360 miles from Geneva to Milan climbing 17000ft (5 mountain passes) to raise funds for Leicestershire's own cancer research facility Hope Against Cancer that carries out research in our hospitals in Leicester.

Before I embarked on the challenge I had grave misgivings about my ability at my age (66) to carry this through but with the right amount of training and vast encouragement from hundreds of people and many local businesses I managed not only to conquer brutal climbs like Grimsel Pass and Furka Pass but raised an enormous amount of money. Income from all sources, including gift aid, has topped well over 10,000 pounds.

The phenomenal success of the sale of Christmas Cards produced by my wife Val, an illustrator, added over £2000 to this total.

Thanks to PrimoIT of Shepshed for being our first corporate buyer.

Just to remind your readers, I took on this challenge after Val had successfully fought first uterine and then breast cancer, followed by chemotherapy and numerous operations, including reconstruction. She is well on the road to full health.

Having lost two stones the health benefits for me have been wonderful. Through my weekly blog 'Singh of the Mountains' on www.gsingh1015.wordpress.com I have taken the opportunity to spread the message of Hope and to educate people about health promotion and cancer prevention through diet and exercise.

A lot of people have asked what next? For the time being I hope to continue to promote the newly formed Shepshed Cycling Club to help spread the message of health and the joys of exercise and cycling. We meet every Sunday at 9.30 am outside the Town Council offices on Charnwood Road and we have three rides led by group leaders. The fast elite ride, the shorter and slower social ride and an intermediate one. For further information please contact the secretary of the club George Smith by email george.smith51@ btinternet.com I have also entered some sportives including the old favourite Ride London but later this year hope to climb Mont Ventoux - more about this later suffice it to say that my ex-colleague and dear friend Dr Trevor Hall is involved!

Upwards of 100 singers will be attending a workshop organised by the Shepshed Singers on Saturday 16th January 2016. This will culminate in a performance of Carmina Burana at Trinity Methodist Church, Loughborough at 5.30pm for which there will be an admission charge.

SHEPSHED COMMUNITY NATIVITY The Shepshed Community Nativity played to an appreciative audience in St Botolph’s Church on 4th December. Various wellknown townsfolk dressed up and took to the stage supported by narrative, music, poetry, dance and handbells.

The event raised £625 for the Shepshed Food Bank plus five tubs of food items brought along by people attending. Thanks are due to everyone who helped to make it such a memorable evening.

SHEPSHED SWIMMING CLUB Shepshed Swimming Club recently celebrated their annual presentation evening to mark the achievements of their swimmers. This year the club was joined by a special guest to help present the awards, Jack Burnell from British Swimming, Loughborough.

Jack was the first Great British athlete to be selected for next year’s Olympic Team to compete in Rio. Jack presented awards to all swimmers who came first or runner up in their age group but there were also awards for swimmers who demonstrate a level of hard work, commitment and motivation to improve. He gave a motivational speech, regarding his journey in swimming which the swimmers

The day will be conducted

found very inspiring.

As the Leicestershire Autumn league season comes to a close the club are in high spirits leading up to the final in December having performed well in each of the two rounds. The Club strives to better their 10th position from last year and are certainly looking good enough to achieve this.

Shepshed Swimming Club is looking to expand and recruit new members to join their family friendly club. Please see the link below to the clubs website for more information and contact details. www.shepshedswimmingclub.com

December the 8th saw the Shepshed History Society celebrating their Christmas social evening by being entertained

by Mr and Mrs Spicer and Mrs Gaye Flower who specialise in portraying life in days of old and for this engagement they chose to do Christmas traditions in the mediaeval era. As well as explaining the origins of many of our customs at this festive time they also demonstrated, wearing gowns from that period, many dances that were popular at the time. This was followed by members and guests enjoying a superb buffet and mulled wine.

The speaker for the January meeting is to be Peter Cousins and the subject is the Boys and Girls of World War One. The Society meet at Glenmore Centre, Thorpe Road, every second Tuesday in the month at 7.30p.m.

New members are always welcome and there is ample parking places.

Process Of Lamination!

Let us create a unique blind for your home with a fabric of your choice.

Using a unique lamination process we can turn your choice of fabric into a roller, vertical, or panel blind, without changing the appearance or feel of the fabric.

For more details please call Caroline Thompson Acacia Curtains and Blinds 0795 1619046

For verticals this works particularly well as a working blind behind a dress curtain, offering privacy and light control and as a stylish alternative to a roman blind.

For rollers you can add a shaped edge, braiding, or even beading and crystals as a finishing touch.

For panel blinds your fabric could change the appearance of a patio door and can also be matched to wallpaper.

The possibilities are endless!

All styles are available with a blackout option making them perfect for bedrooms.

SHEPSHED LIONS CLUB FIRST CHRISTMAS MARKET

SHEPSHED LIONS CLUB COMMUNITY FIRST RESPONDERS RECEIVE A BOOST The Shepshed Lions Club Community First Responders have received a massive boost to funds, thanks to the generosity of Mr Terry Sullivan of Shepshed.

To celebrate his birthday (but he wouldn’t say how old he was) Terry held a Pinball Competition at his home, for friends and family, and raised a total of £350, which he generously donated to the CFR scheme. Terry sadly lost his wife after a long illness. He had cared

Robert Newbold presenting a certificate to Frazer Allen of Bloomin Marvellous who won the Best Dressed Stall Shepshed Lions Club organised its first Christmas Market in The Hallcroft, Shepshed on Sunday 13thDecember 2015, and it was a great success. The market comprised of over 20 festive stalls selling a vast range of goods to help make Christmas special.

The event was supported by local businesses including sponsorship from Newbold Flooring for Santa’s Grotto, who provided gifts for all of the children who visited the Grotto, Primo IT and The Crown Hotel sponsored the street entertainer, “Mad Dominic”, who entertained the children of all ages with tricks, jokes and balloon modeling. Oak Treehouse Nursery sponsored the mulled wine, ably served by Livio of Livio,s Italian Restaurant, that warmed the heart of many of the visitors. Campbell Scientific sponsored the mince pies. Free tea and coffee was donated to all who attended by Tony and Andy of “Meet n’ Eat” , they also provided a wide range of quality food at reasonable prices and The Guesthouse at Shepshed Ltd on Hall Croft hosted a Soup Kitchen. B&B owners Marc Ward and Mark Cosgrove welcomed over 80 visitors on the day sampling one of the four home made soups, the most popular being a Jamie Oliver themed Tomato and Fresh Basil Soup. All soups were served with a bread roll donated by Spencers Bakery and were enthusiastically served by their helpers Angie Wright and Karen Wallis. The Soup Kitchen also benefited from a donation

for her throughout her illness and had to call on the East Midlands Ambulance Service on numerous occasions. When CFR Scheme coordinator Bob Lilley visited Terry at his home, Terry said to him, “I wish your team was around when my wife was ill. There were times when I needed support and Ambulances were quite a long time in arriving because they were busy. The work you and your team do support people and give reassurance when they need it most.”

The generous donation will go towards the purchase of new or replacement equipment for the scheme.

THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS WINDOW COMPETITION WINNERS The Annual Christmas Window Competition, sponsored by Shepshed Town Council has been judged by Chairman of Council, Cllr Claire Poole.

Overall Winner was The Guesthouse at Shepshed. Runners Up were Maria’s Hair Salon; Spencer's Bakery and Newbold Flooring.

Shepshed Town Council would like to thank everyone who entered into the Competition, as there were so many lovely entries, this year, it was a very difficult decision for the Judges (Chairman of Council, Cllr Claire Poole and Vice-Chairman, Cllr Jane Lennie) to make. The lovely window displays have certainly helped to brighten up Shepshed during the Festive Period; well done to everyone.

Mad Dominic and Santa at the Lions Christmas Market from Central England Cooperative towards the purchase of ingredients that helped raise over £145.00 for the Shepshed Lions International charity event.

Thanks also to Shepshed Town Council who sponsored a full page advertisement in the Shepshed Eye magazine and Hallcroft Opticians who supplied the advertising banners.

Lion President Bob Lilley said, “We are absolutely delighted with the success of the Christmas Market.

The weather was miserable but the public of Shepshed were out in numbers to support the event. We couldn’t have asked for more. We have received many compliments and positive comments on social media, as well as in person on our annual Santa Sleigh collection.”

It is hoped that the event will become an annual event in the Shepshed Lions Club calendar.

Please remember that every single penny raised will be spent on charitable good causes.

LIONS CLUB CHRISTMAS PARCELS Members of Shepshed Lions Club have delivered 30 food parcels to elderly and needy persons in the local community. This is an annual event to provide a little bit of Christmas cheer to those less fortunate in the community.

CHRISTMAS DAY LUNCH I was pleased to help again at the lunch held on Christmas Day for people who would other wise spend it on their own.

Without the help of the volunteers, cooks and drivers for the community bus the day would not be able to go ahead.

Father Christmas came on the day and gave everybody a box of biscuits and the day finished after the Queens speech.

GARDENING

GROWING TASTIE TATTIES

Chitting

Digging

With such a mild start to the winter many garden plants are thinking of spring already, buds are fattening, bulbs are blooming & spring flowering Heathers are in full bloom! We can start to plan the year ahead too from the comfort of indoors, dreaming of seasonal salads and tastie tatties!

Rather than a vegetable staple, potatoes feature briefly in my kitchen mainly during the summer months. I’m not a huge fan of floury old boiled potatoes, mash or jackets spuds but I do love a buttery waxy textured new potato freshly dug from the garden in early summer sprinkled with lemon zest and parsley.

If I do fancy some potatoes to Roast in the winter for Sunday lunch I’ll buy a bag of good quality British ones. For me it’s not worth occupying a huge area of my veg plot for the occasional pan of winter potatoes, so I concentrate my efforts and space on varieties that will crop quickly, taste delicious and free up space in the plot for other crops later in the year.

My favourite salad/new potatoes Rocket – a reliable ‘First Early’ the first to crop in my garden providing baby new potatoes ideal for salads. Light on flavour but good enough for a few brief weeks early in the year.

Maris Peer – a ‘Second Early’ this variety has a firm cream-white

flesh which will not disintegrate when boiled or steamed. A lovely one for potato salad.

Charlotte – a ‘Second Early’ This is my absolute favourite all time potato. The flesh is firm and waxy with a buttery flavour and texture.

Love these freshly dug, boiled gently and served with lashings of parsley butter.

Anya – a slightly knobbly ‘Second Early’. With a nutty waxy texture and attractive finger like shape I love these as a salad potato. They crop heavily too.

Pink Fir Apple – My husband’s favourite. This ‘Main Crop’ variety crops later than the others with a profuse quantity of mediumlarge pink knobbly tubers. A firm texture which holds well when boiled. I like to make wedges from the larger tubers, cut into long lengths and roasted for 30mins with olive oil, paprika & a hint of chilli.

Buying and ‘Chitting’ seed potatoes

Seed potatoes will be available from Garden Centres, Nurseries and DIY stores from Jan-early March. Buy good quality firm tubers that you can see have not yet sprouted and are clear of fungus. I now only plant around 6 tubers of each variety so that as soon as I have finished harvesting one the next variety is ready.

belgriersondesign info@belgrierson.co.uk

To start them off a process of ‘Chitting’ is carried out. The seed potatoes need to sit in a cool but frost free tray in a light place to encourage them to grow short sturdy green shoots. This means that by the time the weather outside has warmed sufficiently for planting out they will be ready and raring to grow.

Planting out potatoes

The weather is usually good enough to plant out in late March – early April. I clear an area and dig long trenches around 20cm deep and line with garden compost and potato fertiliser. I then nestle the seed potatoes, shoots upper most around 30cm apart. I water them at this satge before gently covering up with the loose soil. I will draw up the soil over the newly emerging shoots whilst there are any frost warnings. The occasional water in dry spells is the only other care they receive until harvest time.

Here’s to some tastie tatties in the forth coming summer yum yum!

February will be a good time to clear out the potting shed and greenhouse ready for the spring seed sowing so next month I’ll be reviewing what I consider to be essential gardening equipment and sundries.

CHRISTINE RADFORD As your County Councillor,I am always on hand to try and deal with any concerns you may have about services provided by Leicestershire County Council. Such as street lighting, highways, footpaths, overhanging trees and hedges into the highways, social services etc.

No 4 Bus

I had been contacted by a number of residents regarding the No 4. Talks took place with Paul Winson and the number 129 will be diverting down Lansdowne and on the return journey back via Northwood.

Many residents are unhappy that both roads are not accommodated on both journeys but the timing did not allow that.

The community bus operates on a Friday a pick up from your home to take to the Co-op to do your shopping and will return you back at a small cost. I believe they also offer a service to Morrisons at Coalville; they can be contacted on 650531, just leave a message.

The Volunteer Bureau offer a driver service again at a cost, the Volunteer Bureau can be contacted on 508040; they also offer a service to get you the doctors.

Iveshead Road – temporary closure of

Advance notice has been given about the temporary closure of Iveshead Road whilst the new mini roundabout is constructed at the Bloor development just above Jolly Farmers PH. The duration is for a period not exceeding 2 months from 18th January 2016.

Fire Service

I sit on the Combined Fire

Authority as a representative of the County Council. The Fire Authority is not funded by the County but raises its own precept.

I had a very hard decision to make regarding the recent implications at the fire service regarding funding/precept. I took the decision to keep the fire appliance in Shepshed but this meant losing one of the appliances at Loughborough.

I represent Shepshed, but the Town Council, controlled by Labour have supported the retention of the 2nd appliance at Loughborough, this could have meant or mean the removal of the Shepshed appliance.

Shepshed is able to get to fires in some instances much quicker than Loughborough due to how busy Epinal Way is at certain times of the day.

Some of the second larger appliances which are being removed at stations around the County are being replaced by smaller vehicles TVR’s, which will be able to attend smaller instances such as cats up trees, heads stuck in fences, bonfire fires.

But, if it is a house/building fire, then 2 appliances will always be sent. There has been a reduction of 42% in fires over the previous years due to better building regulations etc.

For help and advice on County matters, I can be contacted on 502974 or e mail christine_ radford@hotmail.com or come along to my monthly Surgery on the last Saturday of the month in the Town Council Offices, 47a Charnwood Road 10-11am except December.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

NICKY MORGAN

T: 01509 262723 E: nicky.morgan.mp@parliament.uk Shepshed Eye January 2016 I’d like to start by paying tribute to all the wonderful festive events which have been happening locally and to wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and successful 2016.

I would particularly like to thank Dave Coble and the Loughborough Concert Band for a very special and enjoyable festive concert held at St Botolph’s just before Christmas. They were supported by the excellent choir from St Botolph’s School.

Congratulations on the funds raised for the Shepshed Volunteer Centre and the church.

As 2016 dawns attention now turns to New Year resolutions and the year ahead. If your resolution is to do more to help your local area then I hope you might consider becoming a school governor. This is an important role supporting Head teachers and working with other committed volunteers to invest time and expertise in the next generation.

Governing bodies are often

CHRISTINE RADFORD Your Borough Councillors can be contacted on matters concerning Charnwood Borough. We deal with housing problems, (such as you trying to move house, unsatisfactory improvement work being carried out on your Council property) problems with neighbours and planning issues.

Planning Appeal Iveshead Road

Cllr. Bebbington spoke, as the Ward representative at the recent Planning Appeal in support of the officer’s recommendation to refuse. The application was for outline planning to demolish a property on Iveshead Road, to allow access to land at the rear and build. Cllr Claire Poole represented the Town Council again in supporting the officer’s recommendation to refuse. I believe the results of the enquiry will be known sometime in the New Year.

Britannia Inn old site

Cllr Radford has asked officers to chase up the owner of this site to try to get it cleaned up as it is looking a mess in the centre of Shepshed. We are not sure what is happening at the site regarding planning, we will keep residents informed when we hear anything.

Land next to Oakley Road Playing Fields

A DETAILED planning application has been lodged in respect of the above land for the erection of 133 dwellings. The new application number is P/15/2529/2 which refers to outline planning application P/11/2724/2. particularly in need of people with financial, legal or property skills.

If you would like to find out more visit www.sgoss.org.uk/ The end of our Parliamentary season in 2015 was dominated by international affairs – particularly the vote on extending military airstrikes in Syria. I predict that the focus on security both at home and abroad will continue. And I am very grateful to everyone who contacted me with their thoughts ahead of the Syria debate. There will also be growing interest in the Prime Minister’s re-negotiation of our relationship with the EU. I fully support the decision to give people a say on our relationship and also to get the EU to realise that it has become too big and too bossy. I do, however, also believe that Britain’s interests are best

Burglary/Thefts

Cllrs Radford, Savage and Tassell sit on the Performance Panel at Charnwood when the problems of increases in house burglary and thefts from motor vehicles, which are on the increase, were discussed.

Residents should be aware that with it getting dark at 3.30pm homes really need lights going on before you get home from work and especially if you are away on holiday. Time switches are relatively cheap compared to replacing stolen jewellery etc.

Do not let the thieves have the upper hand.

Facebook and Twitter is another way thieves monitor empty homes, when you talk on these sites to friends and family, thieves check to see if people are saying they are going away.

Again please do not give this information out and make life easier for thieves.

Make sure you lock valuables/ presents in the boot of your car, do not leave them on show.

We shall continue to have our regular monthly surgery on the last Saturday of the month in the Town Council offices, Charnwood Road, from 10-11am. No appointments are necessary. We do not meet in December.

Bill Bebbington, Christine Radford, John Savage and Joan Tassell 502974, 506661, or e mail Christine_radford@hotmail.com

served by staying in a reformed EU which focuses on competitiveness and respects the fact that not every member state wants to sign up to “an ever closer union.”

Finally, on something much closer to home, I have been working with your councillors and Charnwood Council on the continuing problem of dog mess in and around Cumbrian Way. It is a great shame that the thoughtless actions of just one or two dog owners ruin the local area for many other residents. Charnwood Council are putting place more patrols and exploring other ways of tackling this anti-social behaviour. To report a problem please e-mail cleaner.greener@ charnwood.gov.uk or telephone 01509 634563
