Your Suggestions Welcome for best usage of former telephone kiosk?
The last meeting of the Parish Council confirmed that steps will be taken to adopt the BT red telephone kiosk, when it is de-commissioned by BT. The kiosk will remain in situ, with power, but no longer with the telephone facility.
One initial suggestion is a www.wysall.com web point - information kiosk, to communicate with those who do not have internet access. The additional space over & above notice boards could be used to display photos, events, latest news & other key web items.
We look forward to receiving any other ideas for future usage of the kiosk - any suggestions would be welcome at phonebox@wysall.com |

Wysall Parish Church Clock Restoration – Progress Update
As you may have seen on this website, Wysall & Thorpe in the Glebe Parish Council has been working closely with the Heritage Lottery Fund & the County Council's Building Better Communities initiative and have successfully secured a grant for the restoration of the Parish Church clock. |
This key landmark with a highly significant historical importance in our village has been out of action for some time.
The history of the clock is linked closely to Wysall’s accolade as one of a handful of English villages which can claim the unusual title of a 'thankful village' - those villages which welcomed back every single man they sent to war between 1914 and 1918. In addition to the commemorative plaque in the church the clock is a reminder of this honour.
The restoration is now all complete – the clock was taken down on 9th November and is back working again.
 |
Rev'd Stephen Hippisley-Cox, Parish Priest for the church, who was present as the clock was removed for restoration, commented:
‘I'm delighted that the clock which holds such a special place in the history of the village is now being restored, and am grateful to the Parish Council, and, of course, our funders, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the County Council's
Building Better Communities initiative, who have enabled this to happen’. |
Thanks-

East
Midlands airport - Draft Noise Action Plan - Public Consultation The
EU Environmental Noise directive and subsequent UK regulations require airports
with over 50,000 movements a year - including East Midlands airport - to produce
a Noise Action Plan (NAP). The final plan is to be developed following a public
consultation on a Draft Noise Action Plan. The
draft plan is available at www.eastmidlandsairport.com/environment for your consideration.
It details the current noise impact of the airport's operations and the measures
in place to mitigate this impact. It also seeks to establish if the existing noise
mitigation programme is appropriate for the levels of noise currently generated
by the airport. These noise levels have been identified by noise maps produced
by the airport in accordance with guidelines issued by Defra. The
public consultation period begins on Wednesday 1 July 2009 and will conclude on
Wednesday 21 October. The airport will then consider all the comments received
before submitting a revise draft of the NAP to the government for approval. During
the consultation period the airport will be hosting a series of Community Outreach
events. Airport representatives will be available should you wish to discuss any
aspect of the Draft Noise Action Plan. The events take place on the following
dates: - Diseworth
Heritage Centre, 14 July
- Melbourne
Bill Shone Leisure Centre, 21 July
- Castle
Donington Village Hall, 25 August
- Kegworth
Council Rooms, 29 September
