Tools for Self Reliance - Mr. J Wright -
713401|
Practical help for
practical people overseas. Barton Methodist Church is now a collecting point
in this area for old or no longer required hand tools
and sewing machines (not electric sewing machines) to
pass on to Tools for Self Reliance for refurbishment
and shipment to some of the poorest areas of Africa. If you have, or know someone who has tools that they would
like to donate, please contact John Wright (01283
713401) NOW. They can collect if necessary. Not all of the tools contributed are suitable for
the specific needs of the African artisans. However,
never fear, they do not go to waste. With the donor’s
permission, these tools are sold to raise the funds
needed to meet the shipping costs. So, if you are
looking for a bargain come along to the Methodist
Church Hall at 10:30 am on the first Saturday of each
month and help this worthy cause. |
Trent and Mersey Canal Society Southern Section - Mr. P Lee - 791197
 |
The Trent and Mersey Canal passes close to Barton
village, running alongside the A38 for some way between
Burton and Wychnor. It was largely the creation of
Josiah Wedgewood, the famous potter and was built by
James Brindley, being officially opened in May 1777. It
had taken 11 years to build the 93 mile waterway from
the Trent near Shardlow to join up with the Bridgewater
Canal at Preston Brook and thus to the Mersey. The Trent and Mersey Canal Society was formed in
1974 to campaign for the reopening of the canal through
Harecastle Tunnel which had collapsed, cutting the
canal in two. The campaign was successful and the
Society continues to represent the views of all user
groups whether boaters, anglers, walkers, canoeists or
anyone who shares our love of the Waterway. The Society
is divided into Northern and Southern Sections and it
is the latter which holds its monthly social meetings
on the fourth Thursday of each month at 8:00 pm in the
Village Hall at Barton-under-Needwood to which all are
welcome. |
Vital Villages Initiative - Mr. P Hardy email - 716059
The Vital Villages initiative is a government-sponsored scheme that has £48 million in grants available over the next 3 years to give to communities to improve local amenities. Through Barton Parish Council, Barton has applied for acceptance on this scheme. Once the application has been accepted the chairman will be keen to learn how villagers wish to upgrade or add to community facilities. In short, these grants can be used to help solve a wide range of issues such as - transport, schooling, children's play areas, facilities for senior citizens, help for the disadvantaged and support for local business such as the post office and village shops. Last year's questionnaire has helped to give some ideas on what is needed but clearly it is important that local people have an input into what they feel is needed. All are invited to attend to air their views. We must stress that we are at the start of our journey through the government's red tape but with the right ideas we are confident we can move the village forward - if you want to become involved in any way please attend the meeting. Further information about Vital Villages can be found at www.countryside.gov.uk/vitalvillages/ |
