PLANNING APPLICATIONS.
At their meeting last week by
Zoom East Leake parish council planning committee looked at three applications and approved them all.
British Gypsum Ltd applied for an extension to the existing test centre, fire resistant laboratory and storage building, with a consequential relocation of the car park and a new security gatehouse and entrance barrier.
Coun Liz Taylor, chairing the meeting, said he understood there had been some damage to vehicles using the car park and the moving of the gatehouse would provide security to that area.
The second item before the
meeting was from 53 Leivers
maximum of 15per cent to want to say thank you for the support you have given both your child(ren) and your academy during this time. I know I speak on behalf of all colleagues when I say we have greatly missed seeing our academies full of life and able to deliver the usual mode of teaching and learning. We very much look forward to seeing all children return to school in September.”
Mr. Quigley told Academy
staff:” We also wish to recognise that you have also continued to work
throughout this time –
whether on-site providing essential childcare for key workers, delivering free school meals, supporting the NHS with PPE provisions in those early days of lockdown, or from your own homes, ensuring our pupils have access to the remote learning provision, as well as carrying out many other essential business functions. We know you too have juggled your professional responsibilities alongside home schooling your own children or caring for other family members
– and have responded so
positively to the many changes in working practices and expectations that have been asked of you. So, our thanks also go to our very dedicated colleagues for your resilience and continued hard work.”
MEADOW PARK WORK PARTIES. East Leake’s Friends of Meadow Park group still have work parties still on hold during the continuing coronavirus pandemic , but individuals are doing some general maintenance on an ad hoc basis.
Publicity secretary Brenda Moore says they would like some photos of the park to send round to our members by email.
“If you take a photo that is interesting/good please email it to me and I can include it in any posters and send it round to members.
“One of our committee members volunteers with the wildlife trust and this is something they have started to do during lockdown and it has proved to be very interesting and informative. We would like to make this a regular feature of our communications with members so do, please, contribute if/when you can.”
HOLIDAY CLUB. While the popular Holiday Club held each year by East Leake St Marys Parish Church was this year a non-started because of the coronavirus pandemic causing lots of youngsters to be disappointed, there are plans it will be back again next year.
The cancellation of this year’s event was confirmed by the Rector, the Rev Tim Parker saying it was unfortunate but unavoidable.
“One of the main reasons for this is that, outside of food preparation areas, we only have one small sink in the building available for hand washing so this means we do not have the capacity to host
50 children, plus volunteers,
for this type of high intensity event.”
The Rev Tim says they look forward to being ‘back on air’ next year.
COMPASS MAGAZINE.
After several months absence
due to lockdown and related Covid-19 issues, a combined September and October edition of the Compass magazine for the United Benefice of East Leake is being produced.

The United Benefice of East Leake includes St. Mary’s Church in East Leake, St. Giles
Church in Costock, All Saints’
Church in Rempstone, St. John the Baptist Church in Stanford-on-Soar and St. Helen’s Church in West Leake.
Students at East Leake
Academy in Years 7, 12 and 13
are due to report back for lessons today, ( Wednesday
Sept 2) with an 8-30am start.
Tomorrow all years 7 to 13
are due to report back , with the students having been absent for weeks because of the motorvirus pandemic.
A new risk assessment taken
earlier during the virus closure based on the guidance released by the government, ahead of the planned re-opening of the academy to all students this week was undertaken and this risk assessment has now been approved in principle by the Board of Trustees It was followed by a further audit in
August.
This second step was necessary to ensure the
Academy had taken into
account any changes to their circumstances, new or updated government guidance or any localised infection control measures required in response to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
