Today’s Ashbourne News Telegraph (10th Sept 2008) unsurprisingly focuses on last weekend’s flooding in the area.
- p.3 Of the various articles on the flooding we are mentioned under the heading “Chaos and destruction“. The article describes and pictures (the photograph used came from our post) the damage to our roads and paths and includes a short interview with Janet at the Sycamore. (The paper also warns more heavy rain is expected tomorrow.)
- p.4 The Comment section comments favourably on PARWICH.ORG (see post below for the full text).
- p.6 Derbyshire Cyberscouts receive £500 for new equipment.
- p.15 The Hug, a sculpture representing Ashbourne Shrovetide Football is to be unveiled at 10-30am on Saturday at the Waterside Park development (i.e. in front of Homebase).
- p.19 Ashbourne Churches Together is launching an appeal to help those affected by the floods in India where some 2,000 people have died. Donations can be sent to Elizabeth Hurfurt, 81 Derby Road, Ashbourne, DE6 1BH, cheques payable to ACT Patna Partnership. For more information contact the Vicar on 01335 390 226.
