During a recent inspection of the Egremont Road playground, it was disappointing to see that graffiti had been applied to the inside and outside of the cabin at the top of the slide. This is costly and time consuming to eradicate and any residents witnessing this taking place are urged to report the culprits to prevent a recurrence.
The Parish Council has been invited by BT to adopt the red telephone box in the village, for a nominal cost of £1. This is due to the very limited usage of the kiosk, which no longer appears to be required as a means of communication, and is uneconomic to maintain. If adopted, the equipment is removed, and the kiosk may be used in any way of benefit to the community. The Parish Council is making further enquiries about the conditions involved before reaching a decision.
