Child of Courage Awards – Stray FM

This is to let everyone know the great news that my son, Logan, has made it to the final 3 of The Child Of Courage Awards with Stray Fm! The awards are at The Cedar Court Hotel on the 10th May but the film crew are coming next Thursday to the village. We live next to the Royal Oak pub.

Logan is 8 years old and has had 37 pneumonias and we are currently waiting for his 24th operation! He was born with Tracheal oesophageal atresia (his food pipe was joined to his lung instead of his stomach)!  His many operations worked but many have failed. He has nearly died so many many times.  He is left with chronic lung disease but never complains and is such a happy, polite loving little boy.

I’m so proud of him and I just want to share this good news with everyone.  We have lived in the village for a year and moved from Markington!

Thanks

Nicky Durrance

Superfast Broadband – Amazing News!

As of about 10 days ago fibre broadband is now available to much of Burton Leonard and it is the first village in the area to get and benefit from it!  It provides speeds of between 25mb and 80mb. Those who are interested will need to contact their ISP (provider) about getting superfast fibre broadband and may need to upgrade.  More information is available from www.superfastnorthyorkshire.com.  You can check whether you are able to get it at your property on your provider website.

Parish Council Notes – March 2013

These notes are highlights from the minutes of the Parish Council Meeting on 4th February together with information since the meeting and will be published in the Parish Magazine in March 2013.

SmartWater – Neighbourhood Watch

SmartWater has proved to be one of the most successful protectors of possessions and valuables – and the burglars and felons are terrified of it as they know they cannot dispute ownership of marked goods found in their possession.  The daintiest precious ring, the stone paving in your garden or the children’s garden play equipment can all be marked with the same bottle of the liquid, which does not fade in sunlight.  Neighbourhood Watch members can get Smartwater at less than half the manufacturer’s normal price (£22), it lasts indefinitely and there are no annual contract renewal costs.  For further information and an order form please click on the following link:  smartwater-leaflet

or at http://www.nwatchharrogate.org.uk/  Email: info@nwatchharrogate.org.uk

Remember to call your local police dial 101, for emergencies call 999.

Dog Fouling
Dog fouling is continuing to be a problem in and around the village.  There seems to be an increasing amount of bags left in the hedgerow and on verges, please STOP!  It is not only environmentally unfriendly but very unpleasant to see in our countryside.  This photo (although not clear) shows about 10 black dog mess bags on the verge near ‘Perkins patch’ :-(  It is not possible to have another dog bin in this area unfortunately so please take it home.

Abandoned Dog bags

Next meeting
The next meeting will be held in St Leonard’s Hall on Monday 4th March 2013 at 7:30pm, members of the public are invited to listen to the chairman’s report, raise their concerns and observe the business of the meeting.

 The Chairman is Marie Barker
