Prospective Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Percy has been out and about informing local residents about proposals to close several village phone boxes across North Lincolnshire.
Andrew explains, "There are currently proposals to shut down phone boxes in the following villages - South Ferriby, Horkstow (see picture), Bonby, Elsham, Melton Ross, Belton, Gunness, Dragonby, Wressle, Roxby, Coleby, Whitton, West Halton & Low Burnham.
We have been out and informed residents in many of the affected areas about how they can take part in the consultation process on these proposed closures. Whilst I know many of us now rely on our mobiles, there are good reasons for saving village phone boxes. Indeed, they are an important part of the village street scene.
It is important that anyone with a strong opinion on the proposals makes their views known by July 9th. Please get in contact if you would like to know how you can make your views known."
It was my privilege to open the Burringham Fun Day yesterday which, despite a pour down later on, seemed to be a success. As usual I lucked out on the raffle (see photo) but did manage to come away with a nice bottle from the Committee for opening the event.
