I would like to thank the elderly lady who donated money to the Calvert Trust charity. My daughter walked 30 miles from Nottingham to Leicester and raised £1500. You did not leave your name but thank you.

hopeful, i dont see you filling in the potholes, dont be such a pessimist. if you want something doing, do it your self.
lazy idiot.

I see we're putting white lines around damaged footpaths again. They did this about 3 years ago but strangely it didn't seem to have any effect on the potholes. Maybe they are using the wrong incantation. Hope they get it right this time.

In view of this the toilet will not be accessible until further notice. It should be noted by any interested parties that there is nothing stored in the toilet and there are no items of any value.

Burial Ground Toilet
The Clerk to the Parish Council has replied directly to the complainant regarding the condition of the toilet. After further investigation, the toilet has now been cleared. Please report any problems at the burial ground to the Parish Council as soon as possible.

I hear that the milkman was mugged on the new estate the other NIGHT 4.ish what the hell is happening in E/L?

I'm trying to get my head around our Prime Minister's "Big Society". If I've got it right, we're going to stop paying people to do the jobs that contribute to society, put them on the dole then get volunteers to do the job for nothing. I guess that's the sort of thinking that makes you a millionaire.

Sorry all. Should have read "woken"

I was woking about 2am Sat. night by a group of loud mouth teenagers running past my house. I live on Beech Ave., one of them threw a For Sale sign onto next doors garden. So we heard Sunday morning, they went on to do some damage to lights down Twentylands and then caused trouble down Bateman. It went through my mind to call the police but I thought it's only a sign. wished I had called them now! Next time I will.

Dear 'Angry'
You do all the Harry Carlton pupils, parents etc. a huge disservice who signed the petition for the park, and who are NOT illiterate or take drugs.
The 'we' is the East Leake community. Why shouldn't East Leake want to support our young people? Look at all the community spirit at the Carnival. You give the best and you get the best, in spite of those who would spoil it for others.

QA:

By "we REALLY, REALLY", do you mean "I (you) REALLY, REALLY" want this skate park?

I have to question your motives! Why are you so keen?
You're clearly not a skater, because you can spell and punctuate correctly and, as you have access to the Internet, I can assume that you haven't sold your computer to pay for heroin.

Mrs Davidson, I don't know if Rushcliffe BC has given permission yet. Maybe if the youngsters and parents who are interested ALL wrote to them, they'd know that we REALLY, REALLY want this skate park. The kids could give us lessons on Pester Power, because it works!

Was anyone consulted about the moving of the bus stops at the end of Gotham road? I know I wasn't so I have to walk further to catch the bus. Charming.

Does anyone have an update on the kid's skater park?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone envolved in this years carnival. Had a great time & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

me and my brothers and my sisters would like to wish all our dads a very happy fathers day

Wow! I didn't know there were so many crazy cats in East Leake!

It's so nice to get a positive response on this guestbook for a change!

I'll try and get something organised - perhaps I can find somewhere for any Jazz enthusiasts who want to come.

I find laminating my magazines before use an excellent means of ensuring their longevity.

Especially when 'deep in the groove' as your moment isn't spoiled by unfortunate spillages

I have a well-thumbed collection of Jazz magazines that would be happy to donate if you guys are interested.

What an excellent idea, John!

I've always been into Jazz, but never really knew any like-minded people!

I used to go to a special shop in Stapleford to buy my Jazz but they closed it down, sadly. Perhaps we could attract some business interest to East Leake to open a Jazz-shop - if we can get enough people into Jazz that is!

I would be interested in a weekly Jazz get-together. I've always been a fan of ad-lib vocals and would be proud to be a founder-member of the EL Scat Players. Just need a few like-minded parties, maybe a couple of girls and a cup of Newcastle Brown...

Nice.

Yes please.

I think it's about time East Leake had some "Adult" entertainment.

What does everyone think?

If it's a popular idea, I'll get a campaign going!

Very, very poor.
