A group of five young people fromthe Sorrel Youth Café developed theproject based on the concept of the TVprogramme Come Dine with Me andwon the prestigious Pride of CharnwoodYouth Group of the Year Award.

enjoyed most is the interaction with thestaff, the volunteers and the members.

“It has been good getting to know theservice users and listen to them talk, allof whom have had interesting lives.”Pic: Pam Cooper (back row, right) re-ceives gifts and good wishes

POTHOLES IN roads are be-ing filled more quickly, sayLeicestershire County Coun-cil.

Improved maintenance techniqueshave reduced the number of potholes,and they are being dealt with morequickly.

Improvements introduced by thecouncil include a shift from reactive toproactive maintenance, including tack-ling cracked patches of road, beforethey become potholes and better reactivemaintenance, such as sealing of jointsaround potholes.

More patching in the spring andsummer and a 60 per cent increase inthe amount of surface-dressing is alsohelping as are hotboxes, which ensureasphalt is available every day

Due to these improvements, thenumber of potholes has fallen from

more quickly.“While we can never prevent all pot-

holes from forming, we’re determined totackle them more effectively.”

The girls, along with their leaders,and volunteers for the project, walkedthe restored track to the nature reserve,where they took part in sowing wildflower seeds and bark rubbing, beforeassembling at the picnic area for theirwalk back to the station.

Over the past seven yearscommunity volunteers havespent their free time restoringthe Mountsorrel Railway lineand creating a nature reserve.The new Mountsorrel Stationwill allow passengers to rideheritage trains along the rail-way, when the station andrailway open to the public inOctober.

Project leader, Steve Cramp,was presented with a donationfrom the group, along withhand painted bird boxes, whichthe girls had made.

A new community heritagecentre and tea room is beingcreated alongside the restoredrailway on the Rothley/Mountsorrel vil-lage border. This involves relocating anhistoric granite barn from Kinchley Lane,Rothley and the old Time Office fromMountsorrel Quarry. When completeearly next year, the centre will detail thehistory of Mountsorrel and Rothley andprovide an inclusive day out for thewhole family.

Fund raising isnow focused on thephase two Mount-sorrel Railway Mu-seum andExhibition buildingsin the base of theold Nunckley Hill

quarry. The museum will allow historicrailway vehicles from the old Mountsor-rel quarry to be displayed to the publicand the exhibition building will tell thestory of the geology of the CharnwoodForest, the history of quarrying inMountsorrel and the story

of the Mountsorrel Railway. Planning permission hasalready been obtained for the construction of bothbuildings, which will cost approximately £70,000.

Contractors Carlin Construction from Nottinghamwere successful in winning the contract to build theheritage centre, as well as the new station platform atNunckley Hill. The new platform will allow visitors tojoin and leave the trains running on the restored

Tony (58) will be riding with workfriend Simon Wilkinson (53).

“On last year’s London ride 100 wehad to put up with the remains of hurri-cane Bertha so hopefully the weathercan’t be as bad this year” said Tony.

I travel on the bus sometimesBut boring? Oh, dear noFor just as soon as I’m aboardI hear those mobiles go…

Behind me: “Course I won’t forget…In front: “I held my tongue…”Beside me, silence reigns supreme!Oh, no, her phone’s just rung

It seems her friend has been stoodup.

However will she cope?Their conversation rambles on,Compulsive as a soap.

I know I shouldn’t listen inBut how to stop my ears? I cannot help but hear it allTheir lives, their hopes, their fears.

He’s got the sack!” “She’s just hadtwins”

“I knew they’d make a fuss”I sit bemused, confused, amused –All life is on the bus.

When I receive Mountsorrel PostI look for Peggy’s rhymeI know it’s going to make me smileFor it does so every time

She’s got her finger on the pulseOf all that’s going onAnd turns disaster into smilesAnd cheers up everyone

I wish that I could write like thatIt must be such a joyTo put her humour into verseAnd such rhyming words employ

Perhaps if I practise long enoughAnd work hard for a whileMaybe I could touch a funny-boneAnd make somebody smile!
