OK, Tom. Revised letter now sent to every MAP member.
:
:
: David Wright, our Parish Council Clerk,
: tells me (I'm a Director of the MAP) that he
: had a letter all signed, sealed and ready to
: deliver to all MAP members, about the latest
: Planning Application for the Newell Dunfords
: site, containing the information that the
: transfer of ownership of the Sports Field to
: the village had been omitted. But just
: before it was due to go out, he received
: notification from Spawforths Associates, the
: agents for Langleys, the developers, that
: the omission had been rectified. So the
: letter, overtaken by events, won't be sent.
: It illustrates the difficulties of keeping
: us all up to date with the latest
: developments.
: But that's what this site could be used for,
: if people are prepared to access it and post
: their news and comments. I know not everyone
: has a computer or an internet connection,
: but many people have, and it ain't hard to
: use - even I can do it.
:
: The best recent news is that we now have
: (joined with West Stockwith) what every
: village in the country wants - a village
: bobby! (He's called an PCSO, but that's just
: the new acronym for the old-fashioned
: bobby.) If he had been around earlier, I
: feel pretty sure the recent spate of
: vandalism - which imo cost us a place in the
: second round of the Best Kept Village Comp.-
: would have been nipped in the bud before it
: became so serious - and I hope that the
: annual spate of vandalism that occurs during
: the school holidays and that costs us money
: that could be much better spent elsewhere
: will also be checked.
:
: If, as seems certain, Misterton is entered
: next year for the BKVC, there are hopes that
: the boarded-up buildings in the village
: centre will be at least partly sorted out.
: Our District Councillor has been asked to
: gee up Bassetlaw DC about getting rid of the
: Old Bank - the Parish Council has been
: trying for five years to get some action on
: that. The Village Hall may be sold by then,
: and put into use again or demolished, and
: talks are going on with the County Council
: about the reorganisation of the Old
: School/Library/Victoria Institute complex.
: I'm not holding my breath on that one, but
: we might be inching slowly towards a
: resolution.
: Meanwhile I am urging the Parish Council to
: consider some serious works on the War
: Memorial - I think that would give a message
: that we are serious about smartening up the
: village, and would be a fitting emblem of
: the regeneration which is ongoing, and
: gathering pace. I could do with some support
: on that one - How about it?
:
: The spellchecker suggested I should spell
: 'centre' as 'center' For American readers, I
: suppose.
